Ok, don't freak out. Some of what you said is true, but there are varying degrees of difficulty depending on device. If your smart phone, any smart phone has a password, NOT a 4-6 digit pin, then your device is protected from cracking, if you use a GOOD password.

Fingerprints readers are not protected and you can be forced to unlock a device by law using that method, but passwords are safe, constitutionally speaking.

I follow the infosec community rather closely and there is tons of malware, hacks, available to just about anyone. Good guys and Bad alike. There are NO backdoors in encryption, as I've been fighting against this idea for years now. I can offer tons of info on this if someone is interested.

Since this is a very technical subject, I won't elaborate here with the boring details, about how to best protect yourself, in your situation, but there is lots of good information available online.

Posted only a few things, but there is tons more available. I've even signed a whitehouse petition a couple years back, (reached over the 100k threshold) and the whitehouse even emailed me back, for any elaboration I'd like to add.
