While Rachel Tobac often talks about protection against social engineering, using app-based MFA/NFC Keys, etc., I still believe the average user should take it a step further. This video is still 100% spot on and I think Rachel Tobac is one of the best leaders in the industry.
My outlook: we shouldn't treat the internet as if it's safe, because it isn't, and we should stop putting our data online as much as possible. Zero-trust frameworks should be practiced by everyone.
• Linux (advanced) > MacOS (user-friendly) > Windows
Note: I highly suggest tech savvy people just learn Linux and proper Linux security hygiene. Apple is a lesser of two evils (in my opinion).
• Open-source, de-Googled OSes (e.g., GrapheneOS) > Google's Android OS
• FIDO2/NFC Keys > App-based MFA > SMS MFA
No social media > Social Media Sock Puppets > Private social Media > Having no privacy controls
Note: I understand not being on social media can be a challenge but we can take steps to reduce our footprint and stop giving our data away.
We do have a say and more people should be aware that we do hold power. We don't have to keep tolerating the invasive behavior from big tech. Let enterprises use it if they want to but we can choose if we allow them in our home, on trusted networks or VLANs, what data we give to them, etc. We don't have to tolerate them bullying us constantly with their abusive practices.
Reduce your footprint.
