#Cybersécurité #Hacklore #ios
This site from the Government of Canada promotes some classic #hacklore.
Does anyone have contacts in the appropriate department? I'd like to help them update their guidance. 🙏🔐

Apologies for the spoilers, but desperate times call for desperate action! 😱 🔐
Someone needs to send the NYT the correct answer to this puzzle: www.hacklore.org/passwords
It's not 2010 anymore, but you wouldn't know it from all the #hacklore out there... 🤔
Cyber threats have evolved over time. If the risk of a particular threat decreases, then our list of top to-do items should reflect the changing landscape. Today @boblord.bsky.social argues that some old advice should be retired as #Hacklore.

links to the #hacklore you keep seeing 👀
You know the advice. Everyone repeats it. No one questions it.
Send it my way, and spread the word: www.hacklore.org 🙏
I really do like the "Stop #Hacklore!" recommendations from https://www.hacklore.org/
However, in my opinion, they do ignore the gigantic #tracking threat on #privacy by the #Bluetooth tracker industry and the Multi-Billion-Dollar-Business of #DataBrokers sharing this data when they say that […]
ASD's social media team launch an attempt to get another category added to the #hacklore "this is not a realistic threat, please stop worrying about this" list 😔
I find this advice inexplicable and hard to align with any real-world threats
Thanks for the #hacklore shoutout!!
Specifically, we aim to retire the following outdated pieces of advice: Avoid public WiFi: Large-scale compromises via public WiFi are exceedingly rare today. Modern products use encryption technologies to protect your traffic even on open networks, and operating systems and browsers now warn users about untrusted connections. Personal VPN services offer little additional security or privacy benefit for most people and don’t stop the most common attacks. Never scan QR codes: There is no evidence of widespread crime originating from QR-code scanning itself. The true risk is social engineering scams, which is mitigated by existing browser and OS protections, and by being cautious about the information you give any website. Never charge devices from public USB ports: There are no verified cases of “juice jacking” in the wild affecting everyday users. Modern devices prompt before enabling data transfer, default to restricted charging modes, and authenticate connected accessories. Turn off Bluetooth and NFC: Wireless exploits in the wild are extraordinarily rare and typically require specialized hardware, physical proximity, and unpatched devices. Modern phones and laptops isolate these components and require user consent for pairing. Regularly “clear cookies”: Clearing (or deleting) cookies doesn’t meaningfully improve security or stop modern tracking, which now includes identifiers and fingerprinting other than cookies. Regularly change passwords: Frequent password changes were once common advice, but there is no evidence it reduces crime, and it often leads to weaker passwords and reuse across accounts.

I tapped my home network to see how much of my traffic was unencrypted… You’ll never believe the results! 😱 #Cybersecurity #Hacklore

You know that advice to reboot your phone weekly to kill APT processes in RAM that are not launched from storage?
Where did that come from? Links welcome.
Why not also reboot your home routers, wi-fi, music systems, home assistants, etc?
Is this just #hacklore?
