Calculate your risk
In a perfect world, we would all be using Eben Moglen's Freedom Box, but the reality is that not using any online services will make our lives extremely difficult.
So let us try to identify what information we have online that we cannot live without. Then we can determine if we should replace those services or just put a disaster plan in place?
Things to consider while evaluating your risk:
- Do I have the data elsewhere / can I make a backup
- How often do I use the data
- What email address do I use to register for services?
