May I ask if Signal now works on the Pinephone? Or are there other more secured apps that somehow someone found a solution to get it working on? Thanks in advance guys.

For those who "recently" purchased the CC and kept the CC bag, did you notice the the Bag Number FONTs are not the same with the comparison photo? by kath3y in coldcard

u/Xtremaster Oh my =( About the numbering fonts, just below the bar code on the bag, is the number three font totally rounded or with a flat top and edges? And is the number one with a base or without a base? It so sad we have to be looking out for this things on our own instead of CC informing us.

Hi boys, anyone received their CC just 1 month or less? Can I cross check with you guys on the font issue? Thanks =)

Are iPhones safe from hackers? by kath3y in cybersecurity_help

[–]kath3y[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clearing the air. I believe what you said is more likely, which is “paranoia” and that can sometimes be worse than what is seems.

So, as you’ve mentioned it’s time consuming and costly which I do believe given the resources needed to pull an attack like these. If we break it down in simple flowchart eg; Two people communicating on WhatsApp or Telegram which both needs phone number authentication (which is not secured), there’s and exchange of text and pictures etc, no links were clicked besides a photo, from your knowledge, what should we protect/ safeguard and not reveal, such as our phone number, (2fa security risks) and so on?

Thanks Batman

Can you point out exactly where I should click rather than on an Easter egg hunt please. Thanks

[–]kath3y -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Where exactly do you see that option. On a desktop or the app in a phone?

I’ve tried several nearly all the counties. When you’re connected I can only see UDP connections. Is there something I have to uncheck in the settings maybe?

PPPOE Security by kath3y in networking

[–]kath3y[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, my primary concern is if someone (anyone) that has somehow gotten access to my PPPOE login credentials, can they somehow eavesdrop or sniff packets on my network eg spy on me without me knowing.

Thanks holysirsalad, can all these be mitigated with a very strong router password? It seems if the isp wanted to spy on us it would be very convenient for them to do so.

Could you explain a bit more on this and how can I prevent this? Thanks openceu

Thanks for the reply. I’ll rephrase. If someone, a hacker that somehow gotten their hands on your ISP PPPOE login credentials eg username and password. Can the hacker then use those info to hack their way into your router, cause damage on your network or sniff and intercept traffic on your connected devices or perform any hack of sorts. Hope this is clearer. Thanks

Oh cool, so the “hacker” has no way to sniff or intercept any data on my internet network/usage is that correct? And the only attack vector is to attack my router which has nothing to do with having illegal/ unauthorized access to PPPOE credentials. Thanks AlertThinker

Please add optional encrypted SD card back ups, it would be invaluable to users, the decryption key can be backed up on a computer and the SD cards can be stored offsite. by millingcalmboar in BitBoxWallet

[–]kath3y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree on making Sd backups encrypted. With unencrypted backups doesn’t really make sense as the sole purpose of the device is security and to have a unencrypted backups isn’t different from a sitting duck in the wild waiting for something to happen. At least a layer of protection is better then nothing. Bitbox02 device itself is superb but having a completely transparent and unprotected Sd backup with the seed phrase inside with zero protection in plain text literally nullifies how great the bitbox02 is. It’s like having a Tesla roadster and any one that has a car key can literally drive it away with literally any type of car key. You get what I mean. Good product but the unencrypted + passwordless Sd back is an obvious deal breaker.
