How the hrbrgrinch ruined Christmas shopping)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: This is mainly for those of us in the Colonies, but some tips apply globally.<\/p>\n<p>Black Friday \/ Cyber Monday \/ Cyber November \/ Holiday ?hopping is upon us. You&#8217;re going to buy stuff. You&#8217;re going to use digital transactions to do so. Here are some tips in a semi-coherent order:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sign up for a &#8220;reputable&#8221; credit card (is there such a thing? FinServs are pretty evil) with a low interest rate\/cash back, multi-factor authentication on their web\/app and a limit on total credit and a per-transaction limit. This card is just for shopping. Pay with petrol and groceries with something else. <\/li>\n<li>Assign that to your PayPal, Amazon, Apple Pay, et al accounts and keep that as your only physical &amp; digital card for your shopping sprees until the season ends.<\/li>\n<li>Setup multi-factor auth on PayPal, Amazon, Apple Pay and anywhere else you shop. Don&#8217;t shop where you can&#8217;t do this.<\/li>\n<li>Use Amazon or a site that accepts PayPal, Apple Pay, or Amazon payments. Yes, all those orgs are evil. But they do a better job than most when it comes to account security. <\/li>\n<li>Use Quantum Firefox or the latest Chrome Betas to shop online. Nothing else. Check for updates daily &amp; apply when they are out.<\/li>\n<li>Double-check URLs when shopping. <em>Make sure<\/em> you&#8217;re on the site you want to be on. Let&#8217;s Encrypt made it super easy for attackers to pwn you this season. You can afford an extra 5 minutes since that&#8217;ll save you years battling identity theft or account bankruptcy.<\/li>\n<li>Type all URLs into Google&#8217;s safety net \u2014 https:\/\/transparencyreport.google.com\/safe-browsing\/search \u2014\u00a0if at all possible before even considering trusting them.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use any storefront that uses a Let&#8217;s Encrypt certificate. <em>Any.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Never<\/em> let sites store your credit card or bank info.<\/li>\n<li><em>Never<\/em> shop on a site that has any errors associated with their SSL\/TLS certificates. Let&#8217;s Encrypt killed the  integrity of the lock icon and well-resourced adversaries can thwart the encryption but the opportunistic attackers likely to try to pwn you are going to be stopped  <\/li>\n<li>Avoid shopping with Apps. App developers are generally daft and have wretched security practices baked into their apps.<\/li>\n<li>Use &#8220;Private Browsing&#8221; mode to shop if at all possible and start new browser sessions per-site. Your shopping <em>habits<\/em> and <em>purchase info<\/em> is as or even more valuable than your card digits, esp to trackers.<\/li>\n<li>Use Ublock Origin or other reputable ad-blockers and tracking blockers to prevent orgs from tracking you as you shop. A good <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/StevenBlack\/hosts\">hosts file<\/a> wouldn&#8217;t hurt, either.<\/li>\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quad9.net\/#\/about\">Quad9<\/a> as your DNS provider starting <em>now<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Never<\/em> shop online from public Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n<li><em>Don&#8217;t<\/em> shop online from your company&#8217;s network (even the &#8220;guest&#8221; network). They track you. They all do or at least send data (whether they know it or not) to security appliance and &#8220;cloud&#8221; services that will use it against you or to profit off of you.<\/li>\n<li><em>Absolutely<\/em> do not use a store&#8217;s Wi-Fi to shop.<\/li>\n<li>If using Amazon, avoid third-party sellers if at all possible. Scammers abound. <\/li>\n<li><em>Never<\/em> use social networks to share what you just purchased.<\/li>\n<li><em>Never<\/em> &#8220;SQUEEE&#8221; on social media that any shipments are &#8220;arriving today&#8221; and you&#8217;re &#8220;so excited!&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use that daft, new Amazon video-delivery-bluetooth-alexa lock thing. Ever. <\/li>\n<li>If you can afford it, use an in-home (not cloud-based) security camera pointed at the place where deliveries come and review the footage daily if you are expecting deliveries.<\/li>\n<li>In-person\/brick-and-mortar shopping should be done at chip+pin establishments or use cash at all others. <\/li>\n<li>Review your day&#8217;s purchases online at the end of the day or the next morning. <\/li>\n<li>Report all issues <em>immediately<\/em> to authorities then the establishments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Why this particular slice of advice?<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. moved to chip &amp; signature in October of 2016. This has forced attackers to find different, creative ways to get your credit card info. Yes, there were scads of breaches this year, but a good chunk of digital crime is plain &#8216;ol theft. Web sites make great targets. Public Wi-Fi makes a great target. You need to protect yourself since no store, org, bank, politician or authority really cares that your identity was stolen. If they did, we wouldn&#8217;t be in the breach mess we&#8217;re in now.<\/p>\n<p>Attackers know you&#8217;re in deep &#8220;breach fatigue&#8221; and figure you&#8217;re all in a &#8220;Meh. Nothing matters&#8221; mood. Don&#8217;t be pwnd! A wrong move could put you in identity theft limbo for years.<\/p>\n<p>The Identity Theft Resource Center \u2014 http:\/\/www.idtheftcenter.org\/ \u2014 is a great resource and can definitely help you in the right direction if you don&#8217;t follow the above advice and run into issues.<\/p>\n<p>?tay ?afe thi? ?hopping ?sea?on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: This is mainly for those of us in the Colonies, but some tips apply globally.
