That's absolutely correct. Everyone seems to fixate on the encryption, but hackers are lazy and they'll attack whatever is weakest. In this case that means the storage on the phone after it's decrypted.
Don't store classified information on your phone, regardless of what you use to transmit it.
Or better yet, do whatever the heck security experts tell you to do. I can only imagine what’s standard procedure for the president's cabinet.
Exactly. I can guess as to what decent OPSec looks like, but that's not my job and I'm not an expert. If you're in a sensitive position, listen to the experts. If you're a hobbyist, do whatever strikes your fancy.
