David Plisken 🏳️⚧️ BLM! 🇵🇸<p>It is amazing how shit Google is. Google Authenticator is supposed to be cloud based now. I had checked before a phone reset to be sure, all of two or three two factor authentications that require google's authentication app. Wiped the phone, reinstalled Authenticator, none of them returned. So those accounts are boned, fuck Google. <br><a href="https://hessen.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <br><a href="https://hessen.social/tags/twofactorauthentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>twofactorauthentication</span></a></p>

Fedi.Tips<p>If you want to add extra security to your Mastodon account, you can optionally use "Two-Factor Authentication" (2FA).

netrom<p>With it being <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BlackFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackFriday</span></a> and all, I hope nobody is caught up in scams or phishing attacks while doing their (frantic!) online <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shopping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shopping</span></a>.</p><p>Here are a few <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> tips that I hope will help somebody:</p><p>1) If you have a coupon code, don't follow a provided link to the shopping page. Instead find the page yourself, e.g., via a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/searchengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>searchengine</span></a>, and then input the coupon code manually.</p><p>2) Access online shops without being logged in, and without any <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cookies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cookies</span></a>, such that the shop cannot set prices according to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/personaldata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>personaldata</span></a> or previous purchases (yes, they do that). Except, of course, if the discount is only available when actually having an account. Attempt anonymously first.</p><p>3) An improvement to 2) is accessing online shops via <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TorBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TorBrowser</span></a> or similar. </p><p>4) Use a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/VPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VPN</span></a> such that <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ISPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ISPs</span></a> and other adversaries cannot obtain or spoof information. It also protects your data, like credit card info, if you are using public a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WiFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WiFi</span></a> (never do that without VPN).</p><p>5) As corollary to 4) you can even sometimes get discounts by using a different location than your own.</p><p>6) Use a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/passwordmanager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>passwordmanager</span></a> for your credentials such that they can be longer and harder to guess/crack. This also means you don't have to remember (or even know) them by heart.</p><p>7) Setup <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MFA</span></a> for your accounts such that, together with 6), it is harder for adversaries to break in and steal data and/or make automated purchases on your behalf if possible. It is highly advisable using an authenticator app instead of code-by-SMS. For further protection, you can even use <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/biometrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biometrics</span></a>, like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fingerprints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fingerprints</span></a> or facial scans. And/or a hardware device supporting <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FIDO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FIDO2</span></a>/#U2F or similar.</p><p>Note that these tips are applicable also when not shopping, and I would encourage them all.</p><p>Stay safe and have an awesome Friday!</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mastodontips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodontips</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feditips</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/profiling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>profiling</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/personalidentifyinginformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>personalidentifyinginformation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pii</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/internetserviceproviders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>internetserviceproviders</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/multifactorauthentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>multifactorauthentication</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/2fa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2fa</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/twofactorauthentication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>twofactorauthentication</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/yubikey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yubikey</span></a></p>
