Last week I published my first Cybersecurity Friday post with three key steps for indieweb cybersecurity. In summary:

1. Email MFA/2FA. Add multi-factor authentication (sometimes called two-factor authentication) to everywhere you store or check email. Do not use phone/cell numbers.
2. Domain Registrar MFA. Add multi-factor authentication to your domain registrar account.
3. Web Host MFA. Same for your web host and any intermediate name servers (DNS) or content delivery network (CDN) service accounts.

Next time: entropy is your friend in security.

If you want my #Cybersecurity Friday posts as soon as I publish them, follow my site http://tantek.com/ directly in your reader rather than using #socialMedia or #Mastodon or some other notes-centric #fediverse client.

You can subscribe to my site directly with an h-feed supporting #indieweb Social Reader, or if you use a classic feed reader, it can auto-discover my Atom feed from my home page.

You can also read my article blog posts and those from other Mozillians on the Mozilla Planet:

If you look closely you might even find my not-so-secret articles-only Atom feed linked there if you prefer.
