The Tech Solidarity checklist, which was built cooperatively with the advice of experts and road tested repeatedly at NGOs and small congressional campaigns, is better than this checklist and should be the standard others are based on. https://techsolidarity.org/resources/basic_security.htm …https://twitter.com/boblord/status/1106916923638538242 …

It does nobody a service to be ambivalent about whether you should use Gmail or Office365 (you should use Gmail). It does no service to be ambivalent about iPhones or Android (if you’re the audience for the checklist, you should trade your Android for an iPhone.)

The first piece of advice on the Tech Solidarity checklist is one of the most important people can hear: STOP USING EMAIL. How are people going to get owned up? Phishing and attachments.

Several important bits of advice happen to be things campaign staff don’t want to hear. I sympathize. But that doesn’t make it OK to back-rationalize their artificial constraints into security advice.

How you know the DNC checklist is not the best: it is explicitly OK with you using Opera.

Democratic campaign staffer: I would do anything, and pay any price, to avoid the trauma of having my account compromised. Also Democratic staffer: … except switch to Chrome.

I had this literal conversation a dozen times. Ditto for moving off of Android, even when offered a free new iPhone.

Also in 2018 we had scare stories from the 2016 election to try to motivate people and to give cover to those on staff who were pushing for better security. In 2018... nothing much happened in spite of abysmal practices. Good luck to any chump trying to secure campaigns in 2020.
