  6. "Don't answer unknown numbers" is a 1995 hack we keep passing around. It fails because your phone has no context to tell strangers from your plumber.

    Anti-spam ships in every WIGGWIGG plan, no premium tier. A personal block list (encrypted on our side, hashes used for matching incoming calls) plus call screening (an announcement plays before the call connects; auto-dialers usually hang up rather than wait) handle the actual blocking.

    Three more signals warn you when a call looks suspicious: STIR/SHAKEN attestation, a check on the caller's phone provider, and an opt-in community spam list (threshold-gated, hash-only). You see the warning before answering and decide.

  10. My advice to everyone: always retain as much data as possible never, ever overshare, and always compartmentalize¹. 🔒🧩 #PrivacyTips #DontOvershare #Compartmentalize #DataMinimization

    1 In information security, compartmentalization limits access to sensitive data to only those with a "need to know," dividing information into isolated segments to minimize breach impact. If one compartment is compromised—say, by an insider or cyberattack—attackers can't easily access others, reducing overall risk

  15. 📍Think before you post.
    Photos, check-ins, and tweets can expose your location—even unintentionally.

    X (Twitter) and other platforms may retain geotags or infer routines. A single tagged post can reveal your home, office, or habits.

    🛡 Tips:
    • Disable location tagging
    • Strip metadata from images
    • Avoid posting in real-time

    Privacy isn’t paranoia—it’s protection.
