      Dear journalists and activists—indeed, anyone who is concerned about security online. See this awesome, accessible security guide by @citizenlab. Try it out! I will also put some more specific suggestions for high-risk people in thread below! 👇https://securityplanner.org/#/

      Protect your personal email! It's the key to your online life. If you use Gmail (best security option for many people but with the unfortunate privacy trade-off as exposure to Google), please enable two-factor WITH A SECURITY KEY. This is the best guide. https://techsolidarity.org/resources/security_key_gmail.htm …

      You can also use a security key to protect your Facebook account! (You can use the same security key as second-factor to multiple accounts, and have a friend's security key be your backup—they can't enter your account without password so it works!)

      This is the hardest problem. No feasible way to download & open attachments on Microsoft OS and have that machine be safe. Windows has been and is a security nightmare. Forward/open all attachments in: an iPad or iPhone or a Chromebook. On Windows, only open them in Google Drive.

      Anyone at risk: do not use an Android phone. You can literally cough in the direction of one to get access. Android security is a nightmare. On the other hand, iPhones and iPads are stellar, *stellar* security wise. Get the cheapest one you can afford (past 5s). Just do it.

      Office is and remains a security nightmare. Phishing via office products is how hear so many dissidents get hacked. I note the privacy exposure to Google pretty clearly, and email isn't secure. Cannot use Word to open attachments and trust the machine.

          Podesta needed a security key. I'm glad Brad is out there making that case. Windows remains a security nightmare, and not recommended for at-risk users. Yes, Windows 10 if you must. Yes, office apps in browser better than using Word or Adobe directly.
