      Are you an org that does high-risk work? I mean, anything that touches politics? Threatens any organized group? Pisses of 4chan or a government? I'd GET OFF EMAIL AND SLACK (GET OFF BOTH!) and move all chater to Signal or WhatsApp on iOS devices: Ipads/phones with keyboards.

      Look, it's not just that you're doing nothing wrong. Your private life is private, your bad jokes make sense only to friends, and anything can be weaponized against you. (See @samseder case). Don't chatter on email, slack or Twitter DM. Signal or WhatsApp on iOS is your best bet.

      WhatsApp retains metadata (who talks with whom and when) but Facebook cannot access the content because it's end-to-end encrypted. Great option for people who aren't on Signal—many people are already on WhatsApp and sometimes you can't switch people.https://twitter.com/karmel80/status/943490216668614657 …

      There is no other option on the phone market for ordinary people. If you care about security and privacy, you have to be on an iOs device. Secure enclave plus a whole bunch of other structural and hardware settings compel this choice https://twitter.com/EvansRyan202/status/943490767154307072 …

      Protect your phone (iPhone!) like a hawk, just like your personal email. Long, difficult passcode. For TouchID: in the US, you can be *compelled* by law to put your finger on your phone. You cannot be made to cough up your passcode. Consider your risks.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/05/iphone-fingerprint-search-warrant/480861/ …

      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 …

      I know I’m late here, but IMO TouchID/FaceID is *more* secure in public places where you don’t have to worry about someone compelling you to use it. Easy to get someone’s passcode by watching them type it in!

      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 …

          I'm gonna look up security key vs code generator but I'm sure others would love an explanation if you're up for it :)
