When's the last time you did a fire drill on your personal devices? Every day, we all make little micro-choices of ease over privacy, cool function over security. Each one feels benign or manageable. But what about viewing all these choices in the aggregate? Here's a scenario: An unknown actor now has full access to your personal device. Everything. Right now, this minute. Wide open. Take a deep breath, and write down all the accounts that are compromised, and give the data within each account a rating of Meh, Whoa, or Holy Shit! Don't forget your password manager, Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Strava ... Then, read that list you made. If you're like most people, in the aggregate? It's a whole lot of Holy Shit. I bet your heart rate rises, even though it's just a drill. So, take appropriate action.

    @fuzztech@infosec.exchange Cool story, now do every company aggregating your data and getting hacked like the FBI last week. It all feels rather pointless these days.
