With the rise in cyber threats on Windows, many are turning to macOS. If you're one of them, here's a comprehensive guide to safeguarding your device and enhancing your OpSec!
🔒 FileVault Encryption:
Activate FileVault to encrypt your entire system. It takes about three hours, so be patient.
Remember to jot down your recovery key on paper. FileVault is built-in, no downloads needed!
It's akin to VeraCrypt/TrueCrypt/Bitlocker, so setup should be a breeze.
🔑 Password Protection:
Set a strong password for your Mac. It might be a hassle, but it's crucial for security.
🛠️ Recommended Tools:
Explore and install: Mergen
Consider the fantastic: Little Snitch or Lulu/Endian
For now, stick to downloading apps from the App Store—they're thoroughly vetted!
🦠 Antivirus:
Opt for Malwarebytes to keep threats at bay.
🌐 VPN:
Always use a VPN. I suggest Mullvad.net
🛡️ Malware Awareness:
Check out this example.
Stay informed about threats: Crypto-stealing malware
More insights: TechRadar
🚫 Safe Practices:
Avoid downloading unknown files, especially in DMG format.
Scams are rampant: Scam alert
Use Safari or Brave for browsing.
Steer clear of suspicious Wi-Fi networks, especially at airports, without a VPN.
Be cautious with links and downloads.
Use dangerzone.rocks
Alternatively: Entrusted
