    Why Device-Specific Security Matters

    🎯 Nation-State Attacks

    IMSI catchers, zero-days, and targeted surveillance require platform-specific defenses. Generic advice won't protect you from APT28 or Pegasus.

    📱 Mobile Spyware

    Stalkerware and commercial spyware exploit platform-specific vulnerabilities. You need device-specific detection and removal techniques.

    🔓 Privacy Erosion

    Each platform has unique privacy settings, tracking mechanisms, and data collection practices that require specialized hardening.

    🌐 Network Surveillance

    Different platforms require different network monitoring tools. PCAPdroid for Android, Wireshark for Mac, etc.

    🔗 Cross-Platform Attacks

    Attackers exploit ecosystem integrations—compromising your phone to access your laptop, or vice versa. Each device needs independent hardening.

    👤 Insider Threats

    Physical access attacks vary by platform. Lock screen bypasses, USB exploits, and device cloning require device-specific countermeasures.
