I was serious about saying 'don't do anything online that you absolutely want to keep private' - there's no 100% secure system.<br /><br />Doing your best means:<br /> - Keep your system up to date (OS, browser, antivirus)<br /> - Don't submit a form without confirming the SSL certificate and form ACTION tag (where it will submit to)<br /> - Disable javascript, ActiveX, and Flash when not required<br /> - Don't click suspicious links<br /><br />...and more like that. But, these practices need to be balanced with what you hope to gain from using the web. Everything is a balance. You're completely safe if you turn off the computer, but then you can't use it either and enjoy the funny videos (that might be suspicious), online banking (that is high-value), and other tasks.Matt Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902381553517250020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995415.post-48806908325718775132009-08-13T22:14:36.846-04:002009-08-13T22:14:36.846-04:00what are the precautions that individuals could ta...what are the precautions that individuals could take to protect themselves against online privacy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995415.post-65056545187517355802009-07-02T14:22:53.169-04:002009-07-02T14:22:53.169-04:00Thanks - I contacted the developer to inform them....Thanks - I contacted the developer to inform them.
