It's also good to remember that every single interaction can and will be exploited if you're a target, physically or virtually. Devices are a valid concern, but what about your day-to-day interactions with the world around you? Depending on who is interested, they know how to be patient. I was reminded of a recent case of a group of criminals who would surveil and interact with the target as if they were neighbors or random people on the street. The goal was to kill. They knew the entire routine—they didn't need to hack any devices.
