The spoofs, scams, and out right fraud schemes just keep getting better. More urgent and much more personal. Even when these scams were very basic, people fell for them. Now, I'm just watching the water rise and fear for all those with zero concerns or knowledge of the devastation that it can bring.
Encrypt it, use better passwords, use a security token like a Yubico for 2FA/ Multifactor authentication, keep your own data, back it up 2-3x, obscure what you can't secure. So many small steps that can really help. Layers and layers. #dataprivacy #Datasecurity #constantvigilance ⚠️

Attached: 1 image If a stranger approached you on the street and asked if you could unlock your phone and run a few commands you'd think they were a criminal or hacker, and you'd be right. Every day people are being fooled into click-fix attacks and it often works like this. 1. You visit a site and are requested to "verify" you're human. 2. A pop-up requests a user press Ctrl-R and enter commands. 3. Those commands, often PowerShell, pull down executables and setup remote access. To avoid being caught by click-fix scams never accept advice from strangers and treat all sites with skepticism. For more security tips, checkout my new book, How MICE Threaten Cyber Security.

Ugh, my pharmacy is so confusing.

I have a CGM and for the past few months, I have been using the Freestyle Libre 3. I went online to order my next month of sensors, since I installed my last one today.

Imagine my surprise when I actually received Dexcom G7 sensors when I picked up my prescription.

I don't mind: the Libre and the G7 are both plug and play with no additional component, unlike the Dexcom G6 system. I just need to install and run a whole new app now.

@MoiraEve @k2za @evannakita Yup! And sometimes they turn themselves back on during an update! #DarkUX #ConstantVigilance!

war is the most fucked-up drug

the cult teaches you to trust your body,

but only for violence

===

Just...think about that,
if you've not seen active combat.

Now, think about
what growing up in that mindset
does to a kid.

Growing up #ActuallyAutistic in that environment gave me a layer of subconscious expectation that any touch could become violence at any moment. The heightened awareness of #ConstantVigilance is just...life as normal.

Being back here is...not good for me.

This is the place where that training happened.
Finding a way to keep my personal stability has required compromises to preserve my literal sanity.

Resisting that is the first part of even having equal footing with other, more 'socialized' individuals in social, interpersonal, and personal contexts.

The work of #deprogramming this will take me a lifetime, and my primary concern is making sure that this trauma ends with me.

I'we wages war on war, that tomorrow's children might live free.

And this commitment towards finding and ending the root cause of armed conflict cannot be changed, shaken, or deferred.

Peace in our time, or gee tee eff oh.

Thank y'all for being on this journey with i'we.
