Basically because of the scope of digital surveillance the literal only way to keep data from being intercepted is to use an “air gapped” computer ( one not connected to a network at all ) and write the data to a USB stick / Disk / SD Card. Once you do that you literally, by hand, deliver it to someone who does the same - never letting the data touch the internet. Doing so allows you to move data without NSA / FSB / GCHQ / FVEY etc know about it.
It’s how the DNC Emails were done. Someone literally jumped the data from the DNC Server onto a USB drive using FAT32 as a filesystem so we know from the raw data how it was done. That’s why the whole premise of a hack was total bullshit. It was a sneakernet.
The best method is mixing sneakernet with steganography.
That forces your opponent to not only intercept a physical parcel ( shows their hand ) it also adds a layer of obfuscation that only you and the target can understand. Literally “if the 3rd word in the 7th paragraph is rapid” knowing that it means you want to get dinner or something
They also keep talking about the blackmail being electronically transmitted.
Intel Agencies don’t do this. They use Sneakernet. Dead drops and USB / SD Cards etc
That’s the second time this week I’ve heard of “sneakernet”. What is it?

Why the hoohah about game server VOIP and message systems then?
Ignorance and obfuscation and neccessity.
They needed to communicate rapidly for something last minute and were stupid enough. “These people are stupid.”
Literally a private courier / bike messenger would have worked to send orders but these morons somehow wanted to think they had private comms.
Digital Security gets harder when the weakest link has an IQ of 80 - and some of these cats legit act like they can’t solve for x heh
