Depends on the context and exposure. Sometimes a key under a rock is perfectly fine.

I used to work for a security company that REALLY oversold security risks to sell products.

The idea that someone was going to wardrive through your suburban neighborhood with a networked cluster of GPUs to crack your AES keys and run a MITM attack for web traffic is honestly pretty far fetched unless they are a nation-state actor.

Realistically we get into $3 wrench territory pretty quickly too.

They could also just cut and tip both ends of the Ethernet cable I have running between my house and my outbuilding too. I probably wouldn't notice if I'm asleep.

Metaforgotten, but this is a very standard attack surface, you don't need to imagine such a close tap, just imagine that at any point in the multi node internet an attacker has a node and snoops the traffic in its role as a relaying router.

With inflation looks like its now a $5 wrench :-)

AmazonBasics is good enough in this case! ;)
