> I pop on a zip-bomb of two out of principle against anybody scraping my phone

Do zip bombs still work in 2019? I'd expect most antivirus and unzip programs can detect this easily, no?



Sure, but dedicated hardware and a very deep nested zip hinting at something juicy deep at the bottom, maybe - maybe not. Be fun to find out if such an eventuality transpires.

Might prove that they are the perfect way to store your sensitive data - buried deep inside a zip-bomb, knowing AV will filter it away. Food for thought.
