G$$gle users may want to use fake phone information for their accounts.

"The security hole, discovered by a white-hat hacker operating under the handle Brutecat, left the phone numbers of any Google user who'd logged in open to exposure. The issue was a code slip that allowed brute-force attacks against accounts, potentially enabling SIM-swapping attacks."

Hello Fellow Comrades and Survivors,

I wanted to write an #Introduction. I'm a mom trying to set a good example to a daughter in a deeply conservative state. I hope to build community and skills on how to survive and thrive through these times.

Let me know if anyone has any recommendations for some pages to follow. Since I'm #new here!

And because you have to have fun once in a while...

What is your #digitalselfdefense plan going forward? How is it changing in light of #geopolitical affairs? Do you have working #backups

I'm still working on all of these projects, so please let me know what you're up to.

Too many financial institutions don't care about encouraging their customers in dangerous practices.

As phishing fraud hits more and more of us we are rightly warned not to use links in emails to login to our financial services yet so many organisations that should know better continue to do this.

I don't care if they do address me by name and include the last four digits of my account. Their actions encourage bad practice.

Best practice is only to include links that take you to information pages.

If someone calls claiming to be from your financial institution - even if they sound very much like what you'd expect from a bank and say that it's an urgent matter - ask them for a case reference number and tell them you'll call them back at the 1-800 number on the bank's website.

The fraudsters are really out in force at the moment.

Password uniqueness matters.

Don't just change the case or add a number or letter to an existing password.
