Nonsense? Man in the middle attacks have been around from day one. No doubt with the power available, packets can be reassembled with some effort especially since anyone can be targeted by IP address. The internet is deeply flawed in every way as far as privacy is concerned.
95 percent of the people using the internet are about as savvy as Hillary and my in laws.
And with that comment you joined the 95%. Okie, SO WHAT if they can assemble the packets being sent from an iPhone. It SIMPLY DOESN'T MATTER if they assemble the entire message! It is encrypted with 256 bit AES standard encryption with a key they do not have and cannot get.
What part of "It will take them 5.62 Vigintillion years (5.62 x 10195 years) to try every possible key to decrypt the message using a super-computer capable of trying 3 million keys per second." do you simply fail to comprehend??? They can intercept the transmissions and waste time and resources trying to decrypt the data stream to their heart's content for all I care. . . they just cannot do it. It is impossible to do in any even unreasonable time frame! Protons will EVAPORATE in a mere 1036 years, and they'd have hardly gotten started trying keys trying to break into 256 bit AES standard encryption. Hell, Okie, there are only an estimated 4 X 1079 to 4 X 1081 ATOMS in the entire observable universe, yet this number of years is 5.62 X 10195! The math is the math. . .
