Tip #1 should be: determine your threat model.
Who are you, and why should hackers care about hacking you? Who is doing the hacking? Is it a 3-letter organization or other nation-state adversary? Is it a corporate actor trying to commit corporate espionage? Someone trying to steal your identity?
I am less valuable to hack than Vitalik Buterin, who in turn is less valuable to hack than President Biden.
- billdietrich1 5y agoI don't have a threat model. I just have typical data (financial, family, hobbies, etc) and want a reasonable level of protection against all threats (snoops, thieves, scammers, police, govt, etc). So I just use standard best practices: encryption, backups, password manager, 2FA, software updating, blockers in the browser, firewalls, VPN, etc. No need to identify specific threats, I don't have any. No need to list out all my data.
