5 days agoI was Bernardo for a few weeks until we got to talking about “things you like”. Well, I said “yo soy pollo”. Class errupted and I was left with dumbface not understanding why it was funny for awhile. And then I came Pollo for the rest of the year.
I can’t write a whole lot right now but your question is probably a bit too broad. Threat model needs to include the scope of what you’re protecting. For example, if you have some expensive heirloom watch, you might analyze how the threat changes if you’re home or wearing it out. Maybe lock your doors to your house is the first step. Second is keep it in a safe. Third is keep it in a larger safe bolted to the ground in a hidden area and make sure it can survive a fire and flood. Fourth might be buying an insurance policy in case something does happen. The model is continually evaluating risks vs mitigations to those risks.
From a digital perspective, you might consider how youget access to websites across the internet. Your email is a huge single point of failure. What if you lose access to your email? Because you forgot your password, or you were social engineered to click a bad link, or you shared the same password with another website that was compromised. Part of the challenge is having experienced or learned all the rypes of risks. And then the second half is understanding the mitigation options. For email, using a unique password and enabling 2-factor authentication (that is not SMS) mitigates a lot of possible threats, but not all.
You can learn quite a bit by just being familiar with types of scams and reading stories.
