  If that’s true, what’s to stop someone else from just compressing it themself and opening the same attack vector?

    Compressing what themselves? Compress then encrypt leaks information about the data being encrypted if an adversary can affect some part of the data being encrypted. If the data is at rest and repeated encryptions are needed , then this isn’t a concern.

      Compress the encrypted data. You’re talking about encrypting compressed data, this was talking about compressing encrypted data.

        Technically you would be fine to compress the encrypted data, but encrypted data doesn't compress well so it's not really worth your time

  Encrypted data cannot be compressed anyway

    It can. Just not lossless. Which it means it can’t.
