Always depends on your threat level. If you are, say, whistle blowing on a major government or corporation and don’t want to be public, it isn’t that bad compared to being (psychologically only if lucky) tortured 24/7 for the rest of your life.
Centre for Investigative Journalism (UK) does workshops to teach these concepts, they welcome volunteers to sign up and share tech knowledge. The conferences are always extremely interesting, too. Well worth attending.
