So recently I’ve gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done, but I’m wondering if I’m missing anything important:
- Moved from Brave to Firefox
- Bought my own domain for my email (so I can switch email providers at any time)
- Switched to Duck Duck Go from google (It’s gotten worse anyways)
- Bought the Proton package (VPN, Encrypted email, etc…)
- Installed Thunderbird (instead of microsoft mail app)
- Installed uBlock Origin
- Installed Bitwarden for password managing (My passwords are also no longer all the same)
Is there anything that I have missed that should be a priority for internet security?
Why would using email aliases increase you mitm attack vector threat?
because unless you use some paranoid email that can do this in house (and majority of people do not) it means using third party service, which is, by definition, that man in the middle.
All custom domain emails can do this. Just use [email protected].
Another nice thing about doing this, when one of the emails you use is compromised and it starts being used for purposes other than that company, You know that It’s been sold or compromised. You can go shut it off or change the email or just dump it all to trash.
