It would probably behoove someone to sell these laptops, iPads, and iPhones to journalists, lawyers, and other folks with these configurations. It's a lot easier to give them a pre-configured locked down device that they can't mess with than it is to ask them to actually buy a Yubikey.
It won't work for everyone - Slate's CMS is notorious for only working in Firefox, for example - but if Pro Publica is going to hire 30 journalists, then be their vendor.
- tptacek 10y agoThat's a smart idea. But these instructions are also being given to immigration lawyers and to Muslim rights activists, both of whom have very limited budgets, so vendor isn't a great place to start.
- CM30 10y agoWouldn't this provide a great targt for spies and security services? I mean, maybe I'm being stupid here, but if I was in charge of the NSA and knew that people with sensitive information were buying this gear from a certain vendor, said vendor would be right at the top of the target list. I don't think I'd be able to trust any individual or company selling 'secure devices' for journalists and activists.
