So, you know commercial spyware? No I’m not referring to ads or things like pegasus. Talking about those weird providers that market to schools, employers and shitty partners

What measures could be taken to mitigate these threats? When physical can be assumes but the attacker isn’t skilled, just using one of said tools? How would this vary between phones and laptops for example?

Thoughts?

No I’m not in danger, just get curious about this subject once in a while

Yea. We don’t have school devices but this is basically how I would treat my windows partition in my old dual boot (said windows was for school)
