QUBES WHONIX & OS Hardening.

Hello,

I recently went through thr whonix system and OS hardening checklist.

I wanted to know, for someone who holds sensitive financial information and crypto, will it be necessary to check all the points in the checklist( OS, Advance, Host, Whonix hardening lists, etc)

It’s impossible to answer this in a “direct” way. There are too many unknown unknowns.

Therefore can only be answered indirectly.
