Security Checklist

SecurityCheckLi.st put out a good check list of things you can do to improve your security and safety on the Internet. I don't do all of these but even doing a few of them can make a difference. If you do them all you get a gold star ⭐

The list provides instructions for each of the following:
  • Use a password manager
  • Create a strong device passcode
  • Use two-factor authentication
  • Set up a mobile carrier PIN
  • Encrypt your devices
  • Freeze Your Credit
  • Use 1.1.1.1 for DNS resolution
  • Use a VPN
  • Review the privacy of your physical space
  • Use a privacy-first web browser
  • Use a privacy-first search engine
  • Use a privacy-first email provider
  • Review location, camera, and other sensitive device permissions
  • Review and remove metadata attached to photos you share
  • Review your social media privacy settings
  • Use encrypted messaging apps when sharing sensitive information
  • Educate yourself about phishing attacks
