The biggest threat that remains hard to resolve is the phone number threat. Each day it becomes even more important to protect because every platform now uses this as an identity card. Let me remind you in this video of all the threats and problems with loose control of this phone number.
In this video I finally arrive at a solution that has eluded me for many years!
This is the video that establishes the phone number problem.

10:46 - Having watched quite a few Rob's videos, I started to appreciate the amount of knowledge and level of carefulness required to keep privacy intact. For example, when Rob says "as long as the email does not have identity info and IP address," he really means a separate email address and VPN, if I am not missing anything. I also liked that gentle nod to Mint Mobile LOL

@@robbraxmantech any recommendation on a “degoogled” streaming device? I have a NAS running Jellyfin on my LAN with all of my music,movies, and TV shows uploaded to it. However, I’m looking for a streaming device that doesn’t require me to sign into a apple/google account In order to download apps. Really the only app I need to download is Jellyfin(but without apple or foogle sticking their nose into my business). This is possible on my degoogled phone because I have f-droid. But it would be nice to have a streaming device similar to a Apple TV/ Chromecast that is capable of this so I can stream my music and videos from my NAS locally/remotely onto a TV. Looking forward to your input. Thanks for your time and everything you do!

The "solution" is simple... phone numbers aren't private, and never have been. The problem is people using them as a form of ID, and a means of authentication. NOTHING about a phone number is private, _or secure!_ There have been way too many cases of people having things stolen because they lost control of a phone number.

This is an excellent idea. This prompts two privacy questions for the future: 1) How do you talk to someone over a telephone knowing it is not ( never) possible for them ( anyone) to know the number you are using? 2) How can you purchase something ( legal) online and never reveal your identity (real)? Legal and confidential Shipping receive addresses are common but what about the instrument you use to pay for the product or service? 95% of Prepaid credit cards do not work.

1) In the part of Europe that I am in, you can dial a prefix number before the number you are calling which will hide your Calling Line Identity from the person you are calling. Indian call centres inject false CLIDs to the suckers that they call in case they block calls where there is no CLID, or to make it look like someone is calling from a specific town or city, and not Mumbai. 2) What you're asking for is a system that guarantees (or "trusts") the transaction without revealing the identity of the transactor. That sounds very much like the concept of the Blockchain from where I am sitting.

If you buy used goods from listings on craiglist or facebook its a great idea to meet them in public and not give them identifying information like adress, phone number, name, plate numberetc especially since they dont need it to sell you a coffee table. Still havingmultiples voip numbers lets you know where it leaked from. So you can isolate an eventual leak and change only that number

I solved it a long time ago by getting rid of my phone so I would not need a number. By the way, 2FA is a violation to the American Disabilities Act because many disabled people do not own cell phones or email, and all U.S. companies & organizations must be ADA compliant. Next time you get prompted for 2FA, call the company & tell them they are in violation of the ADA and you cannot do 2FA.

Just because some disabled people don't have mobiles doesn't mean that it would be a violation of the disabilities act. Short of someone who is completely paralyzed, SMS is accessible to everyone. So I don't really buy your argument. I would agree that it _should_ be illegal to require though. I suspect that if that is somehow the case or a law would be made for that it would only only apply to required services such as banks, and hence still keep most people locked out from stuff like Steam or Discord. I tried contacting Discord about not having an SMS phone number and they essentially said "tough luck, we don't want you then". Steam would probably say the same thing (granted this is just for verification for ladder and/or SteamGuard or such, not required for basic Steam use).

What bugs me is why banks, brokerage houses, and such will not adopt 2FA using a separate email address. I have a 2nd email address set up to be used only for 2FA. But yet these businesses will not consider using email addresses, only a phone number for 2FA. Each time I bring this up with them, I get blown off with we don't do that. Just blows my mind.

Yes and no. It's true that some services might detect a VOIP number and deny it, _but_ if you use your real number for 2FA and VOIP for everything else it will still work. This kind of makes sense to do anyway because all your normal conversations -voice and SMS- will be encrypted (assuming it gets routed through a VPN). Only 2FA won't be encrypted, but that will pretty much never be an issue. The only _theoretical_ downside is that when doing it this way is that the 2FA will still be vulnerable to SIM swap attack (assuming that you can't just set protections with your provider to make such attacks not viable) *_if_** somehow someone got a hold of the 2FA number.* _however_ considering that the number is only used for 2FA, nobody should have that number as being linked to you (it will only get brute forced SMS spams but not know any info about the owner of the number). So it's rather irrelevant that I even brought this up.
@JM.TheComposer

Yes, this is what I was thinking. And one of my banks here in Canada is so stupid, they force you to use the same number for your voice contact that is used for SMS 2FA. You are also forced to use SMS 2FA with no other options. 🤦

@reefhound 3 месяца назад
@@MsHojat The only real defense to SIM swap is for no one to know the number. Using your real number for 2FA only is not a bad idea but if you were previously using it for everything it's too late. The damage has been done. It's already out there all over the place. You would need to get a new number.

You just keep your phone on connected to the network but internet disabled and walk around. Your phone already generates an incredible amount of signalling communication Some of it is kept for a while for legal reasons and some of it may be kept for a shorter period technical reasons. Towers keep measuring your location and signal strength all the time. Your phone does the same and sends its measurements to the towers. They pass this information to a higher level component that decides about the most effective way to provide you the service. Can be thousands of entries daily for an unused phone in your bag. Now turn on internet. Two dozen apps start communicating instantly. That generate even more signalling reaching more network elements. If you have a turned on phone thsn your location is tracked better than KGB could have dreamed of and there is very little you can do about it. Forward your encrypted text messages from your phone at home via lorawan to a device that has no other wireless technology in it and stay within range.

At least personally I find that RU-vid deletes comments (presumably anti-spam) in a seemingly random manner. I've never noticed specific topics that it blocks. I can re-post pretty much the same content as the deleted post again and it will go through. I think it's more related to whether or not a user has anti-fingerprinting anti-scripting, and other privacy features in their browser. If Google/YT find it to be a hard to verify account it will seemingly randomly delete comments several seconds after they are posted. At least that is my experience and my hypothesized theory.

Browsing RU-vid and watching other videos about DIY cloud servers and VPNs, it seems to me that to have total control of one's own privacy would literally have to be "privacy in a box"! A personal server (probably at home) that may or may not be your home network backbone, but also part use for IoT home security, decentralized VPN tunnelling, as well as personal domain email and cloud storage, and maybe web2.0 (correct usage?) of Google/ Microsoft/ Apple account "all-in-one applications" used through the server instead of immediate phone device.... And of course, a personal server would also serve as a personal PBX.... ^All of this, I'm spitballin and brainstormin... I'm a normie and not a tech-head; so I would have no idea how to start off such a project. And after all this, one would probably hope that the physical personal server/ storage device is safely secured in their household or somewhere and not found out by those snooping online or those snooping physically nearby for wifi signals.

In his video, Mr. Braxman said ,"A Google," and because he said that it activated my voice recognition on my phone. Very odd considering I don't have an accent like him at all. If that's the case and you can automatically initiate someone else's voice recognition , you can further activate other items in their phone that's scary.

Yeah this has been a thing for many years now, ever since voice-activated assistants existed. From what I've heard it's even been used in the past in online games to kick people off of the server by saying something like "hey Xbox, shut down now". Although I'm surprised it occurred to you now because I heard that many years ago it was patched to not happen for internet videos, due to some sort of detection mechanism (I'm not sure if it's RU-vid that plays some inaudible sound in the background during videos, or it listens on a frequency that would normally be cut off, or just has better detection or something). Maybe your phone is really old and hasn't received any updates for that?

I was getting emails from the DNC asking for donations. But they thought I was a woman named Margaret. I started getting emails from other companies and eventually received an email that included Margaret's address. She lives in England! So the DNC was asking people in England for donations, which I think is illegal. Then I got an email from a collection agency. I had to explain the whole story and what do you know - that ended the emails to Margaret from everyone. I have two other email accounts. I gave them the same bizarre nonsensical name hoping to avoid the auto-name generating algorhythms used for spamming. Turns out someone else conjured up the same email name only on a different email service. And then one day I received an email from a school counselor addressed to all three accounts. This email was intended for the parents of a very troubled youth, and it discussed his whole history at the school and details of his problems and everything. So the idiot counselor apparently remembered the bizarre email name but not which domain, so she sent it to all three. I went to the school website and got the email address of every staff member I could find including the principal. And then I replied to all of them and to the parents and said thank you for the private information about the boy and asked for more details as his case continued. I also reprimanded the parents for getting a divorce and blamed the boy's problems on them. I never heard back but I bet it didn't turn out so well for the counselor.
@MsHojat
@MsHojat 7 месяцев назад
Valid numbers can be obtained by brute force- calling/texting all possible numbers. I would assume that is probably the reason you are getting calls rather than someone from another area code, but your hypothesis is still possible instead. However, if you register your number with the do not call list that should protect you from getting US-based spam. Only international spammers would then do it, because any in the US (or even closely linked with the US) will be breaking the law and can be tracked down by law enforcement. Or, considering that they are presumably a legit organization that respects people, you can just call them and tell them they have the wrong person and you don't want their messages.
@parodylover999
@parodylover999 Месяц назад
@mshojat the benefit of a VoIP number is their number blocks are typically scarcely populated and if their aren't any public records of that number series tied to any identities, spammers aren't going to waste time on blocks that are super unlikely to get calls answered from. when you activate a number, always make sure it's blank on fast people search.

I still think best solutions would be pay for number say $1.99 a month then pay per text or per min. That way you could have multiple numbers for each social media account. Money starts to add up the more numbers you want to create @ even $5. Still needs to be a way to own the number cheaply but pay per usage cause it will be rare that you receive even enough texts to care.

In theory a privacy-minded person would do the same thing, however in that case they wouldn't need to use a disposable number because they shouldn't have any concern about getting banned.
