Segregation

The core value behind the security principle of segregation, is the zero trust mindset. You have to understand that no matter how strong we are, we will be hacked sooner or later, no matter if it's by external hackers, insiders or ourselves. Segregation can ensure that in the event of a security incident, you only lose what is directly compromised.

  • If your password security practice is good, when one of your accounts gets hacked, the same password will not compromise other accounts.

  • If your cryptocurrency is not stored under one set of mnemonic seeds, you will not lose everything if you ever step into a trap.

  • If your computer is infected, luckily this is just a computer used for casual activities, and there is nothing important in there So you do not have to panic, as reinstalling the computer would solve most of the problems. If you are good at using virtual machines, things are even better, as you can just restore the snapshot. Good virtual machine tools are: VMware, Parallels.

  • To summarize, you can have at least two accounts, two tools, two devices, etc. It is not impossible to completely create an independent virtual identity after you are familiar with it.

Don't protect privacy, control it. The reason for this viewpoint is that: in the current Internet environment, privacy has actually been leaked seriously. Fortunately, privacy-related regulations have become more and more widely adopted in recent years, and people are paying more attention.
