12 Privacy & Security Tools I Use EVERY DAY

[@AllThingsSecured]

How does my privacy and security tech stack match up against yours? Leave a comment to let me know what you do differently. I'm curious to know!

[@a1isrising]

if we use 2FA Yubikey do you still need password managers if you only use places on the net the except Yubikeys ? i use Brave as my only browser , i still have gmail but want another one and im not worried about gov spying like some securty privacy utubers talk about im privancy and security from malicious actors hackers and beimg tracked by apps and google lol , i only phones no PC or laptop . So get Yubikeys and a seperate email account , proton mail with vpn looks good or mulvad as well seem to be the best overall but i dont want to use my debit or credit cards to purchase them. Now my bank wants me to use biometrics for sign in too i will see if they except Yubikey , id rather have that than password managers as im not tech savvy lol i feel like id mess it up and be locked out lol

[@NotSeger]

- I don't use Chromium based browsers (specially one that is actively pushing web3 and AI). - I know "data removal services" are scams. - I don't use 1Password as my PW manager, I self-host Vaultwarden. Yeah, I think I'm good.

Just want to encourage you and say how glad I am this channel exists and what you're doing. I've been a cybersecurity advocate for a number of years and have had a number of vital security components in place in my digital life for a while now (password manager, hardware keys, credit freezes, etc). Several years ago, I thought about starting a channel like this but never had the time with a full time job. And this is exactly what I envisioned my channel being. No jealousy at all, I'm so glad you're here doing this. In fact, I often recommend this channel when I'm wanting to get certain points across. I just find, not many people want to listen which is frustrating. Keep up the great work!

Email aliases - you say good for newsletter and one-offs. I use aliases for everything now. Here, in Australia, we've recently had 2 major companies hacked, with millions of addresses exposed, my (then) main email being one of those. Using Proton Mail aliasing, every one of my old email accounts now has their own different email (alias) - meaning if that organization ever gets hacked, my main Proton Mail address is safe and all I have to do is remove the exposed email (alias) and create another different one for that organization.

[@fretbuzzly]

This is the way. No account should share an email with any other account. Aliases should also not be easily guessable. They don't need to be as complex as a password, but they should also not be easy enough that someone calling into a call center could guess the address and provide it to the call center agent. This has happened to me, which is why I now use aliases. Recently I had to make a financial transaction that required me calling in. The rep asked for my email address and I had to look it up because even I couldn't remember it. The beauty of aliases are multi-fold. 1) A little more security, 2) They can help identify which account resulted in you receiving spam. 3) They can be easily disabled or deleted for accounts that you no longer want to use and particularly for services that won't let you delete your account. 4) If an account is breached, you can easily delete the old alias and create a new one along with a new strong password. 5) No commingling of any accounts. Disabling/deleting an alias will have no impact on any other account and there's also no need to keep track of which accounts use which email because they are all unique.

[@MindForgedManacle]

I used aliases for everything as well. Can't recall the last time I gave my actual one for anything.

[@macbitz]

Great video as always 👍🏼 One thing I've heard is that if you freeze your credit (here in the UK) then it _might_ affect your credit rating and some lenders may reject an application until 6 months after you've unfrozen your credit. I've not managed to confirm this myself but something worth being aware of if you're planning on any borrowing in the near future.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Hmm, I haven't heard that. If that's true, it's very unfortunate. Protecting your credit shouldn't have any affect on your rating. That's a shame.

Hi Josh, love your content. Is there a company or a service that would help change all your passwords to make sites more secure? I think I use the same password for the majority of websites 🙈

[@AllThingsSecured]

Great question, Laura! Unfortunately it would be almost impossible to do a mass, automated change of all passwords. My recommendation would just be to start small - choose the 5-10 most important accounts and change the passwords for those. Then build from there. It's better to just get started small than never at all!

Always a concern however Bitwarden and other ones recommended here store both the vault login and then all information contained within the vault under encryption, whilst lastpass only stored the vault password under encryption. If items inside the vault are encrypted it is okay as if they are all unique they would have do individually crack each one which would take millennia

Just a remark for an otherwise great video. Unfortunately signal is not as popular as suggested. But the biggest issue in my opinion is the calling aspect.

Does DeleteMe deletes your data from dark web?

[@TimLaytonDarkroomDiary]

How can you run a privacy and security channel and recommend iMessage? I am being sincere when I ask this question.

[@RemasterScope]

Because it's one of the most secure messaging services available (if you have Advanced Data Protection turned on), it offers end-to-end encryption with client key verification. Although Apple stores your messages, if you have Advanced Data Protection enabled, you are in possession of your private key, which means you are the master of the stored data. There isn't anything that would make it not safe to use. Just because it's run by a big tech company doesn't mean you shouldn't use it and that it's unsafe and not privacy respecting. Do your research.

[@TimLaytonDarkroomDiary]

@@RemasterScope Well, aren't you a nice person... You assumed that I had not done my research, which was your first mistake. If you would have actually read their latest privacy policy, it is clear you are mistaken and don't understand. The privacy statements are written in legal language and nearly takes a lawyer to interrupt them, so don't feel bad about not understanding the nitty-gritty details. Security and privacy are two topics you should research and try to understand the differences. It is common knowledge that Apple can read every message and media sent over iMessage and clearly stated in their privacy and end-user license agreement policies. If the message is sent to a non-Apple user, then the exposure is even worse because of the plain-text nature of the PSTN. Based on your reply, I am sure you will come back with some piffy response, but there is no need. Just go read the policies referenced and that is all that needs to be said. If you cant help yourself and choose to reply anyway, please reference the Apple policy so we can all be on the same page.

[@RemasterScope]

⁠@@TimLaytonDarkroomDiaryI did not mean to sound rude. I genuinely wanna talk about this stuff. Reading through their privacy policy and guidelines I did not find something that would indicate that they can read all the messages. It’s stated that the iMessages are E2EE and also they are stored securely in iCloud (ADP). And of course the SMS is not secure by definition. Sadly right now even the RCS is not E2EE so there’s that. Now that I think about it, Apple did not implement any EU Chat Control into iMessage so I don’t know what would make you think that they are scanning the messages sent.

[@TimLaytonDarkroomDiary]

@@RemasterScope Thanks for that, and I appreciate you following up to clarify. Most people would not do that, so thank you. One thing I would mention that is also related to the use of iMessage and in general, iCloud, which should be very concerning to people, is the issue of deletion. Recently, with the iOS 17.0 update, you may recall that thousands of people reported photos and videos from many years ago suddenly reappeared on their phones again even though they had deleted the content locally. This created some serious embarrassment for people because they had given their phones to other family members, etc. It underscores the reality that Apple is clearly never deleting your photos or videos even though you think you have deleted them locally. This is all part of a larger legal issue involving client side scanning related to the Child Protect Act where all content on phones are scanned for illegal content and your content is stored in Apple's database forever and it is shared with law enforcement agencies to query at will. This is a serious privacy issue that everyone needs to fully understand. Back to the original iMessage E2EE topic, we know that Apple can and has handed over supposedly secure iMessages to the FBI when required to do so. IMO Apple talks a great game about security and privacy, but they are one of the worst offenders of privacy in particular for the above mentioned reasons and many more that could be discussed.

In any case, I'm really just waiting for Cloaked to move their virtual card feature from beta to public before I really start pushing the service.

[@the_healedgoddessproject]

Can you make a video about action steps to take once you have been sim swapped ? I can’t seem to find a single one on KZbin.

The where plays important role since it might be websites that are not allowing crawling.

Seems like you forgot the most critical security tool - VPN

[@AllThingsSecured]

Interesting point. I think I didn’t add it because it’s not something I use every single day.

Most companies know who you are VPN dont matter

[@anoopm2022]

@@AllThingsSecured WHich is the best vpn according to you

[@RemasterScope]

A VPN is a tool that you most likely don't need. You only need one if you suspect that your ISP is spying on and logging your internet traffic (by this, I mean the domains you visit, as other traffic is hidden by HTTPS). If you fall under this category, then I wouldn't recommend any other VPN than Mullvad. It’s the most privacy-respecting and secure VPN available. Do more research on your own what a VPN really does and why it may be useful or not.

viritual cards are US only so useless. and 70$X2 for yubico is a total rippoff

[@AllThingsSecured]

You can get virtual cards internationally using Revolut. And as for Yubico, they have the Security Key series that is much more budget-friendly.

Brave is chromium and definitely phones home

Evidence? It’s completely open source, so I suspect such a bold claim has clear proof
