Common threats

2.1. What to consider

Some of these threats may be more important to you than others, depending on your specific concerns. For example, a software developer with access to valuable or critical data may be primarily concerned with Supply Chain Attacks and Targeted Attacks. They will likely still want to protect their personal data from being swept up in Mass Surveillance programs. Similarly, many people may be primarily concerned with Public Exposure of their personal data, but they should still be wary of security-focused issues, such as Passive Attacks—like malware affecting their devices.
