Bob has dedicated a larger portion of his life publishing information pertaining to largely unknown, root causes of the current human condition, which is critical of this novel world authoritarianism.
Bob has gained very advanced adversaries who engage in organized stalking, harassment and overall disruption of Bobs life.
He is under the category where his biometrics, passwords, PINs and other personal information are all compromised in some time. He shouldn't conduct business with anything that has a transistor but must to survive.
Bob uses eSIM mainly to connect to network and for income, so this is the main avenue for the attackers. I would say Bob has little hope of keeping any information on his phone from advanced attackers. Even in a very targeted situation such as this, GOS can still limit the adversaries from effectively disrupting his business:
(The following is assumed Bob has troubleshooted any issue being caused by hardware, he can have both problems, being targeted and hardware.)
-Do speed tests often. If Bobs speed throttles down to a slow stable speed like a hard steady 5Mb, or very slow upload speeds in high reception areas, Bob contacts his carrier to see what they can do. They often can do a reset that restores his working connection to their network.
-SIM PiN 6+ digit with PIN scrambling
-Long owner unlock passphrase +2F unlock
-Often, or when Bob suspects a sign of compromise (will eventually become an obvious pattern) he enables airplane mode and does a reset and a power cycle at the SIM PIN unlock screen (holding down power button for 30 seconds)
- Bob installs a VPN in each profile. Upon first unlock of owner profile in airplane mode, he turns VPN lock on and disconnects VPN to effectively block networking to this profile and also any profile that must be running other than the main work profile.
- Bob creates a new outside work profile that is minimized to have just the apps required for business. He uses the owner profile as an app installer to achieve this to keep it minimal as possible. Bob disables app installs to this profile.
- In this mode upon turning off airplane mode logged into the new outside work profile and VPN enabled, he is able to work without disruption.
My last thread got derailed I think and hidden, my bad. I just want to get this out there how GOS has helped Bob out a lot as far as defense from organized harassment. Deep gratitude towards the GOS team.
