Runa Sandvik (@runasand) on security improvements that you can make to your own benefit (but probably haven’t)

“Google’s Advanced Protection Program is great, it’s a shame the company rarely mentions it”; quote:

I think too many articles about spyware lack guidance for high-risk communities. The same can be said about posts from Google’s Threat Analysis Group. Don’t get me wrong, the research is good, but the posts often stop short of recommending any defensive measures. For example, it would have been easy for Google to mention Apple’s Lockdown Mode in this post about 0-days exploited by a surveillance vendor in Egypt. Or mention the Advanced Protection Program in this post about a Russian actor focused on phishing against high-profile individuals in NGOs. I think both are missed opportunities to raise awareness of these features.
