The share of Americans who say they are very or somewhat concerned about government use of people’s data has increased from 64% in 2019 to 71% today. Two-thirds (67%) of adults say they understand little to nothing about what companies are doing with their personal data, up from 59%.
How to Promote Phishing and Scam Awareness
Just wondered how others promote threat awareness for friends, family, co-workers, and clients.
Every few weeks I email a half dozen employees & family members explaining one or other phishing attempt I've seen, just to keep it in peoples minds.
I heard someone else talking about a kind of email pen-testing service you can sign up for and they send scammy emails to see if the recipient falls for it. Seems like a great idea but only viable for me if it's very cheap.
I could link to something on privacyguides.org in my email footer but I think that's just virtue signalling more than anything actually useful.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/07/loss-of-popular-2fa-tool-puts-security-minded-grapheneos-in-a-paradox/ The article unfortunately leaves out most of the points we made in the thread. GrapheneOS supports hardware-based attestation and it's entirely possible for Google to allow it as part of the Play Integrity API. They choose to ban using GrapheneOS.
What should I do when I see headlines about personal data getting breached? How do I keep such info off the internet?
Like when I read 3 Billion National Public Data Records with SSNs, Addresses Dumped Online, am I supposed to access that data dump or something to see if I got pwned? Are there equivalents to haveibeenpwned.com for this type of stuff? Any guides on what to do when these happen? I feel like I'm doomscrolling or watching the news, and feeling depressed about the world as a result because I should be doing something but I can't or it seems like I can't.
Even though I know better than to put such personal info online, but that doesn't eliminate the odds of them getting into breaches like these, and having started to be careful about digital privacy has opened my eyes to the sad state of privacy.
