You wouldn't believe things I have seen in various industries that are supposedly "fiercely protected by federal regulation."

As an example, I doubt traditional fax to be secure...at all, and you really wouldn't believe stuff I've seen texted and hot/y/gmailed.

On the contrary, it would take a *lot* to stretch my credulity with how little people understand security and how much they love convenience. You're probably right about fax. Telecom infrastructure in the US is notoriously insecure, as demonstrated by Salt Typhoon, and the only reason there has been little regulatory pressure to secure it is that the NSA et al love how easy it is to spy on us.
