Scary AT&T breach leaks up to 70 million Social Security numbers to the dark web
  • @dRLY

    They all have web sites.

    Search Experian +security freeze
    Equifax +security freeze
    TransUnion +security freeze
    Chexsystems +security freeze

    Etc. Note they offer paid things too. But the freezes are free by law.

    Exactly what I was going to say. I froze everything after that will keep it frozen forever. So easy to temp thaw when I want to apply for something.

    Big 3 credit bureaus
    Chexsystems for banks
    Lexus Nexus for you know, everything
    And there's one for utilities too that escapes me at the moment

    Make a social security account if you haven't already so no one else can

  • Facebook bought a VPN company and deployed it, in part, to spy on its users.

    We can be like the kids and only use it for marketplace.

    Then they know my secondhand shipping habits, but nothing more 😁

  • Airbnb bans all indoor security cameras
  • @sugar_in_your_tea @pezmaker

    Same, and they usually don't want me to do anything to the bed. Trash on the way out and didn't be a pig.

    There was a very out in the open camera in the living room of an Airbnb that I stayed in once and I really didn't care for it and hadn't noticed it in the listing. But, it was a basement suite of a family's own house and I guess they were just concerned. I started looking for that more specifically but glad to hear Airbnb banned them completely.

    So.. It's cool to ignore the date and just change oil at the recommended mileage?

    (My car is very rarely driven right now and I've often wondered this)

  • Smart android keyboard respecting privacy?

    I'd consider switching if it blocks ads and trackers like blokada does. Looking into it, thanks.

  • @LoveSausage

    Thanks for the link! I already use blokada, so only one vpn-like service at a time I think?

  • Which browsers are best for privacy?
  • @LoafyLemon @ekZepp @cupcakezealot

    How does Firefox assign a fingerprint? I thought a fingerprint was made of all my add-ons, browser version, OS, screen size, device version, etc?

  • Which browsers are best for privacy?
  • @cupcakezealot @ekZepp

    I use FF on desktop with ublock, fb fence and various settings tweaked.

    On mobile I use FF with ublock and the blokada app (which blocks trackers in other apps too).

    In that setup I get great privacy results at the eff testing tool. Do you have other tools you like to test with?

    Really not sure what to do about the fingerprint, but otherwise feel pretty good.

    I think I tried brave at some point and it didn't do as well. DDG browser didn't do as well.

  • Best Browser Privacy? Edge vs Chrome vs Firefox vs Brave in Wireshark
  • @GregoryTheGreat @BarterClub

    I hate video when a written article does the job, SO MUCH.

    Like if you're showing me how to fix something in my car fine video. Discussing one web browser versus another? Text all the way.

    I'm not going to watch the video in this post for that reason.
