Encryption Solutions

So far we have learned that someone with limited technicle knowledge can gain access to your data. But they have to start somewhere, and that starting point is usually a phone number or an email address. The first step is usually to test the water in some way with the info they have.

The easiest way is a message from a "Spoofed" email or cell number.

Again, there are commercially available apps for download on the IOS or Google Play App store that allow for this - So pretty much anyone can pull it off.

TERM TO LOOK UP- Phone Number Spoof https://www.imyfone.com/change-location/best-call-spoof-app/ - These are available in free trial version, and paid.

TERM TO LOOK UP- Email Spoof https://www.techwhoop.com/email-spoofing-tool/

Again, there are free with paid versions, and anyone can use them. These are easy to find tools used by amateurs, but they work. Real hackers employ more convincing methods that are much harder to detect. I list these apps to show how pretty much anyone can employ these tactics if they had a reason to attack you.

An email made to look like it was sent from your workplace -or if someone had done their homework on Facebook and chose to send a message from a family member or friend - will pretty much guarantee you opening it. Inside is a link, or a picture that contains a link and made with something like anyimage.io - will take you to a site that automatically downloads an application. This application could achieve the same results listed in the above section - or maybe the application opens a reverse shell and gives the attacker complete control of your device. Again, this is an example of just one attack. There are thousands - and they work. Everyday.

There are many ways to attack someone digitally, and just a few ways to protect yourself. The easiest way is a catch all. Encrypting your entire device. No matter what, even if you mess up and something happens outside of your control. The attacker will only get an encrypted file. Lots of them. I know these attackers move on to the next target before attempting to break through advanced encryption because I talk to many of them on a daily basis. We just chose to live a life in the light, instead of the dark. We choose to protect instead of attack. Same skillset, vastly different outcome. 

You could self host your own server? That you could just plug a device in the wall, one time - and all your data from then on would be backed up to that device. End to end military grade encryption...for your entire family. Forever.  What if I told you that your data would only been accessed by you, and only you or your registered users? That Google, Apple, Microsoft...no one...would have a claim on all the things they currently steal from you? 

This device exists,  it's open source which means that as long as you know how to use it, it's free. Yes. Free. And it's ran through TOR. There are people like me in the world that are here to protect rather than attack and we make up a group ready to stand against those that would steal from the world, be it someone looking to steal your credit card info...or someone trying to look in to your very life and take every piece of data they can. Location. Email. Preference. Everything.

We can provide you these solutions at minimal cost. Pay only for the hardware, installation, and support. The software that everyone else charges you for, we provide for nothing because we want to see a world where privacy is the norm, not the exception. Click here to learn more about self hosting.
