Hello people
From a online security perspective, how viable is the total online passivity tactic against hacking, phishing and whatever else there is of threats and tracking online?
In that concept i mean: to stay as a lurker on the social medias, only posting extremely sparse.
If you get random mails from the bank or other instances you dont follow the links, but rather either phones them, or manually goes to the companys page and loggs in to see if there are any messages on the internal inbox or anything that pops up when logging in.
With the thought in mind, that you cant get attacked, if they dont know you are there, how viable is this tactic?
Tthe prompt for the question was a conversation yesterday with my coussin, who has just been locked out of his online portfolio by a phishing attack, and who is now upping his security game with microsoft password manager, and online passivity.
But what is some basic tips i could talk with him about? And i could use myself, who have looked at bitwarden for close to half a year, stuck by figuring out a master password, and a healthy dose of paranoia of forgetting it
