What if they get even just a little bit smart about it? Instead of just streaming data to a cia.gov server they could rent some Amazon cloud space and cache the data for some time and wait for you to connect to Amazon's cloud service for some other reason. When you make the connection for other services they could just piggyback their payload on those packets and you'd be none the wiser. You wouldn't even be able to see it if you were sitting there with wireshark watching for it.
Yeah they could shield traffic but i feel like if this was some kind of mass operation they are doing with everyone's gear someone would see it or notice eventually. If the eye of Sauron is focused on you it's probably best to just take all your electronic gear and chuck it in a river.
They can do it from the 5g towers. Forget your wifi aps. That's just the tech reaching the consumer level.
Right but they arent going to see in your house with 60ghz if the signal is emitted from outside of it. Penetration in those frequencies is basically nothing cant penetrate a piece of tissue paper. To really see in they would need a transmitter and receiver inside the house with you they may be able to locate the receiver outside if its very close range and they find a decent window or something to catch the signals through but they would need to be nearby like 30-50 yards.
