A security tip: To prevent your stuff from being hacked, don't connect it to the internet. How hard is it to have government intranets?

Secure computers are not even supposed to have working USB ports, let alone a bluetooth connection.

Aren't spies able to access a data line using induction without actually tapping into the line?

We did it with undersea cables during the Cold War but doing that with data from the line itself is improbable. Bigger threat is compromised network hardware firmware.

I’m fairly ignorant in these matters - but I believe a nationwide intranet would be a logistics nightmare. You would likely need dedicate line connecting every computer.

Now, I’m sure there are systems that are intranet only. But those are few and far between.

I’m with you though: go with old school dumb devices or make sure newer devices have an air gap.
