When/if your Twitter account gets hacked, it's not your public tweets that pose a danger. Your DM conversation can be screenshotted and taken out of context for viral misinformation campaigns. DO NOT MAKE BAD JOKES ON DM. Do not chatter on Twitter DM until Twitter fixes security.

After all of this: remember, any conversation is as secure as the weakest link. Most likely way something gets out is... the other end of the conversation, not some expensive hack. Always ponder the recipient/group (and the size of the group) when typing something online.

I don't mean to make people paranoid! I make bad jokes on many platforms. :-D But it make sense to have a workable, reasonable security set-up hardware and software wise, and just exercise caution especially if you are a journalist/activist or anyone at risk of being targeted.

If you like the convenience of TouchID (and your fingerprint is stored locally though I have concerns about normalizing biometrics as ID), at least remember this. You can quickly disable TouchID with five taps depending on your İphone make. Try it out.https://www.imore.com/how-quickly-disable-touch-id-when-you-need-extra-security …

For truly high-risk work (investigating a powerful nation-state or a corporation), this is great advice. Get a second dedicated device. You can get a Chromebook for under $200. No excuse for newspaper/investigative work. Segmentation is the best security. https://twitter.com/43blah/status/943496408635764736 …

TouchID has it uses, for sure. Guards against shoulder-surfing. But has downsides, too. I don't tell people not to use it, but consider the issue (which is explained more upthread).https://twitter.com/bitmaker_me/status/943640165230166016 …

People, take note. Phishing attempts to journalists are basically industrialized, best defense is two-factor authentication preferably with security key—if unavailable, code generators. https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/944119363954765824?s=17 …

Worth mentioning that even if this is true (legally), iOS supports quickly disabling Touch ID now. https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/17/16161758/ios-11-touch-id-disable-emergency-services-lock …

Only if you are an American? I am pretty sure I have read not too long ago here on Twitter of someone who was forced to give up his Mac’s password at customs.
