I recently volunteered to teach an “intro to mobile security” class, in-person, at a local shul (Jewish prayer/study space) in my rural, aging community. I’m going to do one class for activists and one for the general public. I know I want to end with a list of privacy-friendly alternatives and habits, but I’m kinda stuck getting started. How do I introduce this topic, especially to older folks? Links, resources, personal thoughts welcome. Lmk if you don’t want to be credited.

A good start would be ‘how to develop a threat model’. There are very useful guide about it like the one written by EFF.

Security planning helps you to identify what could happen to the things you value and determine from whom you need to protect them. When building a security plan answer these five questions:

  • What do I want to protect?
  • Who do I want to protect it from?
  • How bad are the consequences if I fail?
  • How likely is it that I will need to protect it?
  • How much trouble am I willing to go through to try to prevent potential consequences?
