With recent reports of high-profile data breaches, ransomware attacks, and the prevalence of online trackers-- it’s hard to know how best to protect your privacy online. We met up with the cybersecurity experts at Electronic Frontier Foundation to learn more about who’s snooping on us online and what we can do to protect ourselves. To help you decide how to protect the things you really want to keep private from people you are most concerned about, they recommend something called “Threat Modelling” which consists of 5 questions you should ask yourself:
What do I want to protect?
Who do I want to protect it from?
How likely is it that you will need to protect it?
How bad are the consequences if you fail?
How much trouble are you willing to go through in order to avoid those consequences?
From online data trackers to surveillance at school to open wifi networks, this video dives into some threats you could potentially face online and how you could protect yourself against those threats.
