Cybersecurity Tip #2: Απόφυγε να Συνδέεσαι σε Δημόσια Wi-Fi χωρίς VPN!

Τα δημόσια Wi-Fi σε καφετέριες, αεροδρόμια ή ξενοδοχεία μπορεί να φαίνονται βολικά, αλλά είναι και επικίνδυνα. Χωρίς την κατάλληλη προστασία, κάποιος κακόβουλος χρήστης στο ίδιο δίκτυο μπορεί να παρακολουθήσει τη δραστηριότητά σου ή να υποκλέψει ευαίσθητα δεδομένα όπως κωδικούς ή τραπεζικές πληροφορίες.

Χρησιμοποίησε πάντα ένα αξιόπιστο VPN (Virtual Private Network) για να κρυπτογραφείς τη σύνδεσή σου και να διατηρείς την ιδιωτικότητά σου, ακόμα και σε ανοιχτά δίκτυα.

Bonus Tip: Αν δεν έχεις VPN, προτίμησε να χρησιμοποιήσεις τα δεδομένα του κινητού σου για ευαίσθητες εργασίες.

Your phone tracks you. Your apps collect your data. Then data brokers package and sell it—to the government. No warrant needed. They're buying what they legally can't take, circumventing your 4th Amendment rights with your tax dollars. This isn't conspiracy. It's business as usual. #DigitalPrivacy #DataBrokers #Privacy

Thoughts on Change dot org alternatives for petitioning local council?
Secure and private name/address collection seems like the big hurdle here.
Yes it’s technically public info once the petition is submitted, but that’s no reason to leave it lying around on the internet…

"I don't have that app. I'll pass. Lol." @signalapp #digitalprivacy

Currently testing our new #chatmail server.

WE LOVE IT!

Thanks @delta
It's so simple!

A new project is underway and Chatmail (DeltaChat) will probably be part of it (still testing).

Coming from Matrix, it is a blessing that these options are finally available (see picture)!
