State-sponsored attackers also likely choose different targets. I'm not afraid to be a victim of such attack, but if I worked eg. as a diplomat, or as a defence contractor, or any government agency, I might actually be worried. There were some examples of attacks lately that targeted US government officials. So I guess Google shows this warning primarily to people who might be probable targets of state-sponsored attacks in the first place.


I think human rights activists are probably the juiciest target.


Why the juiciest?
