IG safety tips: - Use a strong and unique password - Turn on 2FA - Never click links from unknown or urgent DMs - Review your recovery email and phone settings - Limit access to trusted devices only - Watch for fake copyright (etc) or verification messages

Khabib reminds everyone about how the Muslim Ottoman Empire supported the Irish people during the Great Famine.


And this is exactly why “just use a VPN” isn’t the magic privacy shield people think it is. If ex intelligence officials run the VPNs, then who can we really trust? Privacy starts with knowing who owns the tools we use. @AhmedDSiyad @milateri

Israeli intelligence may be monitoring your VPNs. A recent investigation conducted by MintPress revealed that several of the most popular VPNs are owned and ran by former Israeli intelligence and combat officials allegedly involved in hacking the personal data of politicians,…
