I've put together a detailed guide on Personal Digital Security for Apple users, titled "Risk Prevention - Not much in life is 100%", and I'm seeking feedback from the technical community here. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive approach to minimizing digital security risks with a focus on practical and effective strategies. It prioritizes the use of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), emphasizing hardware keys, push-based, and TOTP/token-based methods over SMS due to its known vulnerabilities.
The guide covers various aspects of digital security, including the importance of securing mobile and financial accounts against SIM-swap scams, the use of unique, long, random passphrases, and the implementation of hardware security tokens. It also discusses enabling Apple's Stolen Device Protection and end-to-end encryption as critical steps towards safeguarding one's digital footprint.
I'm particularly interested in the community's take on these recommendations, any potential areas for improvement, or alternative strategies that might not have been considered. Your insights, critiques, and personal experiences would be invaluable in refining the guide to better serve those looking to enhance their digital security.
Two of the links that I checked ( Stolen Device Protection and advanced encryption) lead to generic sites: Apple Support and EFF home pages. Of course, direct links change and curating links is a pain (by hand, anyway).
Just an observation. I share a lot of articles with friends who are not very keen on searching within sites.
Some matters are beyond out control, like using phone numbers or email addresses as account ID’s. So much so that accounts I have which don’t use them seem odd. But nobody is going to guess them, either. I don’t use Google (for anything) nor Apple as a “login with” provider. I seriously trust myself over some faceless company.
