Great writeup Maciej. I do have some questions:
(1) Is there an easier secure way to open attachments to Emails? This is a critical point of error in campaigns, and yet your suggested solutions are lacking in my eyes. I for one do not use a smart phone, and even when I use a Gmail account I use the html version that does not have a Google Docs option for files. So I am left with your option 3, and this could take several minutes in contrast to double clicking the file.
(2) Why do you recommend to avoid SMS but to treat Twitter/Slack as a public messaging option? Why not just treat all three as public?
(3) Why do you recommend only Chrome browser? In particular, why not Firefox or Tor?
- idlewords 7y agoThank you! Answers in order: 1) I can't think of a safe alternative for you, but maybe someone else here can. 2) Signal is a drop-in replacement for SMS, while there is no real replacement for Twitter or Slack. That's why I tell people to treat it as public, rather than move off those sites. 3) The consensus among my security friends is that Chrome is the safest mainstream browser, though Firefox is making big strides. The Tor browser is not safe for the reasons tptacek outlines here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19981733 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19981733 I explain elsewhere in the post that I like to tell people to use a specific product. If they really love Firefox, I don't fight them.
