As Internet Monitoring Becomes More Prevalent, More Internet Users Turn To VPNs For Privacy

Over the last few years there has been an increasing push by governments and corporations globally to monitor and control the content that is being seen, used and downloaded on the internet. This has become painfully obvious with the recent Mid-Eastern conflicts. In most cases the censorship and monitoring is extreme, and very obvious, but in other cases the invasion into citizen privacy isn't quite as obvious.

Legal Invasions

In the US, there was SOPA, PIPA AND CISPA. In the EU it was ACTA. Fortunately all these draconian laws were rejected in the legislative processes. But in the US, the entertainment and internet industry corporations are risking the possibility of running afoul of the Consumer Privacy protections, and in the UK, the courts have already issued ISP's blocking and monitoring orders on specific websites. What is all this monitoring and blocking for? And just as important, what exactly are they looking at and recording? Well, Anti-Piracy, child pornography, and counterfeit drugs/products, are among the biggest items that are being sought out.

But, What Are They Monitoring And Recording

In the US, the ISPs that enlisted to monitor their customers activities and report possible illegal activities through the newly developed Copyright Alert System, (CAS,) claim that only file sharers, P2P, and Torrent users will be affected the most. They also claim that any information shared with the Center for Copyright Information, (CCI,) the authority behind the CAS, will be stripped of any information that could possibly identify the person, or customer. ISPs already collect every activity on the internet of every customer. Every website, password, log-in, instant message... all of it. They keep these records for a short time, mainly for law enforcement in a database that each of the ISPs have.

Who Has Access To This Database

Until recently, access to the customer information databases has been extremely limited. Access was granted to only the highest levels in the company, and then only when a warrant was issued by a court. But because of recent legislative and corporate administrative events, access to the database has been brought into question. FBI national security letter requests, and the lack of governmental oversight into the CAS has many people wondering what they can do to protect their right to privacy on the internet. They are concerned that more unscrupulous employees will gain access to the database and exploit customer information.

How To Keep Private Stuff Private

In the Mid-East, when the dictators closed the internet off, and started monitoring what little they left their internet denizens, they learned that VPNs, (Virtual Private Networking,) would cloak their activities. And while the VPN encoding could eventually be broken, it would take a lot of time. The rest of the free world is now slowly waking up to this fact. Using a VPN insures the privacy of the connection using encrypted dedicated tunnels, and many will encrypt the data payload... further insuring privacy. VPNs have been used for years by businesses to ensure their customers privacy, and now more and more, internet consumers have been turning to private VPNs for the same insurance.

Internet Safety Month in 2012 Got Off to a Rocky Start I'd Say

We are all told that everyone needs to play it safe on the Internet and be careful with passwords and personal information. We are told that more education and awareness is needed. True enough I suppose, but when the hackers are breaking into some of the most sophisticated information systems on the planet run by our government and large corporations, are we really safe? That is doubtful, so what's a person to do? Well, let's talk about that for a moment.

Why you ask? Well it is supposedly "Internet Safety Month" as I write this article in June of 2012. Oh, you didn't hear about that? Well, there was an interesting piece in Homeland Security News on June 12, 2012 titled; "June is National Internet Safety Month," which stated;

"Private organizations and government agencies collaborate in promoting June as National Internet Safety Month; the sponsors encourage all Internet users to follow three simple steps when connecting to the Web: STOP - THINK - CONNECT; the National Cyber Security Alliance also encourages Internet users to take a few moments to teach a young person about better online safety so that they use good judgment and behavior all-year long, so when connecting to the Web: Stop. Think. Connect."

Yes, well, good stuff indeed, good advice, but the reality is that if a sophisticated hacker network wants into your computer system, good luck stopping them. Now then, if you post personal information on Facebook, have your resume on LinkedIn, buy stuff online, have a PayPal Account, Amazon Account, pay your taxes online, or do online banking then someday someone is going to hack into your financial information, have your social security number, account numbers, password, and access to credit card information, etc. It's only a matter of time, not if, not in my opinion, merely when.

Sounds too over-the-top doom-and-gloom? Well, consider the number of companies which have been hacked into just in 2011 and 2012, and the hackers are getting better, even if the security is tightening down. Trust no one I say.

In fact, if this truly is Internet Safety Month, well that LinkedIn hacking job with all those stolen passwords sure put a dampener on any sort of cause for celebration, yes it was only a social networking site, but how many people use the same passwords across multiple domains and websites - one survey said 80% meaning all those passwords hacked are only the beginning of the mischief and a foreshadowing of things to come. Please consider all this and think on it - it's not my attention to scare you - just help in awareness is all.

No You Can't Have the Global Internet - Make Your Own In-Country Internet Yourselves

Personally, it is hard for me to trust the government when it comes to the Internet. Our government is one of the greatest in the world, but it does get a little paranoid at times, and when it comes to personal data online, it's hard to trust a government which doesn't trust its own people, and is busy archiving everything online. I have an even bigger problem when I see that multiple governments are now sharing information.

Apparently, they are hoping to root out terrorists, tax cheats, and catch money launderers, oh and the occasional drug cartel money flows. Yes, I suppose they might be able to catch a few, especially the stupid ones, but that only makes the smart criminals stronger, having less competition. Then there is the big issue of copyright infringements, and supposedly we have to look at what everybody has on their personal computer to prevent anyone from running off copies of e-books, movies, videos, or music for all of those industries.

Of course, there are other serious issues which should be quite troubling - if we make holes in all the software to let our government in obviously, all the other governments will want into our computers as well. And then there's the biggest wannabe government of all, the government of governments, which is trying to rule the world. Now the United Nations wants access to everything, and they want to control and run the Internet. Personally, I have a real problem with that because I judge any organization by the company it keeps.

There was an interesting piece written on SlashDot not long ago titled; "UN Takeover of Internet Must Be Stopped, US Warns," posted by Samzenpus, June 1, 2012 which states;

"Benfrog writes "In a rare show of bipartisan agreement, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle warned of a UN summit in December to takeover of the Internet if proposals from China, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia are adopted. The World Conference on International Telecommunication, hearing proposals including using international mandates to charge certain Web destinations on a "per-click" basis to fund the build-out of broadband infrastructure across the globe' and allowing 'governments to monitor & restrict content, impose costs on international data."

You see, I'm not sure I want the Russian government having access to my personal data or computer. I'm pretty certain I don't want the cyber hackers from China sifting through my information and conveniently borrowing any proprietary information that they think they might want. Lastly, if we give up control of the Internet to the United Nations, that is one step removed from our own government, the one that we only trust on even days of the week. Are you beginning to see my argument here? Indeed, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

The Internet Defender and How You Can Get Rid of It

A brand new virus online is called Internet defender. It's a fake anti-spyware program that is made by the same people that brought us Security Defender. Like their last creation, this one is also activated every time your computer starts. It will also do a fake scan of your computer showing you that you have many viruses, spyware and even intruders on your computer. It will do this to try to pressure you into using your credit card to buy the full version of the software. Never give your credit card information or it will be used to steal from you and once upgraded, the software will make your life even worse. It's of vital important to have a good antivirus installed on your computer to avoid this and other viruses like it. If you currently don't have an antivirus, then please check out the antivirus reviews to select the best one for your needs.

If you don't remove this virus program from your computer you'll be constantly harassed with pop-ups, error and warning messages and an inability to open and use some of your system programs. Some of the warnings you might see will say things like there is an intruder on your system or that someone has changed system files. These warnings will use technical language to try to confuse you and trick you in to using your credit card. With the severity of virus programs like this it is essential that we read antivirus reviews and find the best software that we can find. In finding and downloading the best antivirus in the antivirus reviews we can avoid ever getting these types of problems.

So, how do we remove it if we do get infected? Well, if you are an advanced user you can go into the system registry, locate and delete all keys and values that have anything to do with the virus program. You would then want to find and delete all files and folders that contain any trace of the Security Defender virus program. This is a long process and it can do quite a lot of damage to your computer if you make even a small mistake.

There is also the automatic way of doing this. Simply read antivirus reviews, select the antivirus that is right for you and then download it and install. Once it's installed, it's just a matter of a few clicks and it will get rid of the Security Defender and restore your computer to you.

Internet Identity Theft and How PayPal Can Help You

(Note: the author has no affiliation with PayPal other than an active account)

There is no escape from internet identity theft it seems, or is there? You know the problem. Everyone is telling you that your identity is going to be stolen and how you may come home one day to find someone has taken out a personal loan in your name, without you knowing anything about it.

Now that is seriously scary, but there is a lot that you can do to prevent identity theft. Let me give you a quick example of how this can work.

A few years ago I had a call from someone claiming to be from my credit card company. They said that first they needed to go through some of my security details, and that immediately put me on my guard! I declined to speak with them any further, but I did ask for their telephone number, a name and a reference or log number.

Having got the telephone number, I then contacted my local branch for the bank and asked them to confirm if it was one of their numbers, and it was as it happened. I then returned their call and asked why they were calling me. It turned out that someone had tried to order some windsurfing equipment from overseas, and with my card details.

We discussed my recent purchase history and decided that it may have been a firm in my own country where I live that I had given my details to for an on-line purchase. Someone there might have tried to use my details; after all they had my name, my home address and my card details, including the security number from the back of my card.

Fortunately for me and for you who are reading this, the credit card company concerned flagged this particular transaction as suspicious on two counts. The first was, it took my card over the credit limit, and the second was the fact that it was for an overseas purchase at some ungodly hour of the early morning. Turns out the credit card company's monitor our spending patterns and if something abnormal shows up it is flagged and often stopped. Now that is the sort of "spying" I do not mind!

So what has all this got to do with PayPal and Internet Identity Theft you may ask? Well, let me tell you why you should consider using PayPal as a safety net to prevent identity theft yourself.

PayPal acts like a safety net in the sense that the person or company that you are dealing with never gets to see any more of your personal details than the bare minimum to conclude the transaction. Obviously they need to know your name and address in order to know where to send your goods.

You open a free, PayPal account and you register your bank account details and your credit card details with them. They are secure and only known to you and PayPal. This is a great layer to prevent internet identity theft and stops you having to reveal any more than necessary to a supplier.

More and more companies that do business online offer the usual well know cards as payment options and PayPal as an alternative. You simply choose the PayPal option when you buy something and you are taken to your PayPal account where you log-in with your username and password, check the transaction details and then pay the invoice.

You do not even have to use a credit card if you choose not to. You simply make your debit card the primary source of funds for payment.

PayPal is not available for use in every country or every venue, so you do need to check, and they probably have very good reasons for that.

It is so easy today to become complacent when it comes to sharing our information online, and the criminals are so aware of that. At the same time, there is no need to get paranoid about it, but taking a few easy steps to protect your information can go a long way to safeguarding you from identity theft and all the heartache that comes with it.

I have always found it easy to get hold of PayPal by telephone and their staff has always been able to help me with any issues as a customer.

If you really want to prevent internet identity theft you can do no better than putting an extra layer of protection on your personal information. At the end of the day, if the thief has nothing to steal then you are much safer.

Guard Your Browser Against Internet Threats

When you are online, the entire worldwide web seems to be watching you. Visit a website and you will start receiving newsletters, promotional emails from a stream of different websites that you never even visited. Other than the website you visited, a number of websites are told about your browsing history and personal details like name, email address etc. without your knowledge and consent. Why does this happen? It happens because of your web browser for which you do not think enough. Since web browser is a medium to connect to the online world, you must secure it. Viruses, Trojans, malware, hackers use your internet browser to peep into your computer. The free internet browser support guide mentioned below will tell you ways to tighten your browser's security.

Instructions:

Download and install the latest security updates and patches for your web browser. To avoid manually doing the updates, turn on the automatic update feature in your web browser and relax. Your browser will automatically install updates without your intervention. Updates help keep your browser and the computer secured and protected from online and network threats. For Firefox, click Tools and select Options. Click the Advanced tab and then click Update, the sub-tab. click to select the button beside Automatically download and install the update. Click the OK button and then OK again to exit both the windows. Restart Firefox.

For Internet Explorer, click the Start button and go to Control Panel. Double-click Windows Update and then set it to Daily Updates. Save the changes and exit Control Panel. When you make this change, make sure Internet Explorer is closed. For Safari, click the Apple menu and select System Preferences. Select Software Update and set it to download and install updates automatically. Save the changes and close the window.

Block banners, pop-ups, plug-ins, and phishing websites. Also, block third-party cookies. Cookies are small files that a website places on your computer to track your origin and browsing preferences. A genuine website will use cookies to help you serve better, while a malicious one will use them to track your information and deceive you. Other than a few trusted websites, you can never be sure what will happen with your personal information. I have described the procedure of blocking cookies in Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari. Check the information below.

If you are using Mozilla Firefox, click the Tools tab and go to Options. In the Options tab, click the Privacy tab. Below Accept cookies from sites, you will see the Accept third-party cookies box will be checked. Click the drop-down menu and select ask me every time next to Keep Until. Click the OK button to exit the Options window. Close and reopen Firefox to make the changes effective. From now onwards, every website will seek for your permission before placing a cookie on your computer. If you think the website is genuine, hit Allow. Otherwise, click the Block button.

For Internet Explorer, click the Tools tab and select Internet Options. When in Internet Options, click the Privacy tab and then click Advanced. You will see two headings First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies. Click the Prompt button below both the headings. Click the OK button to exit the Advanced Privacy Settings window. Click OK again to exit Internet Options. Close and restart Internet Explorer.

If you are using Mac Safari, click the Safari tab and then select Preferences. Click the Security tab and check the box next to Block pop-up windows. Under Accept Cookies, either click the Never button or the Only from sites you navigate to button. The latter option will let only the websites you visit to place cookies on your computer. Rest of them will not be able to place the cookies.

Disable Java, JavaScript, and ActiveX in your browser. In Mozilla Firefox, click Tools and select Options. Click the Content tab and remove the check mark from the Enable JavaScript box. Hit the OK button and restart Firefox by closing and reopening the window. For Internet Explorer, click Tools and select Internet Options. Click the Security tab and then click the Custom Level button. Look for ActiveX Controls and Plus-ins and click the Disable button. Click the OK button to exit the window. Click OK again to exit Internet Options. Restart Internet Explorer.

For Safari, click the Safari tab and select Preferences. Click the Security tab and remove check mark from the Enable JavaScript box. Save the changes and exit the window. Close and reopen Safari to make the changes effective.

Always sign out properly from a website. Do not stay signed in when you are not using your computer. Do not open emails with attachments or links from unknown senders. Do not open emails that say "congratulations, you won $80 million" (or a similar message). Such emails always demand your name, address, data of birth, identity proof, email address, and phone number etc. You should not share your personal information with unknown senders because they spam you with such messages.

Run a full virus scan after every 14-15 days to make sure that no virus intrudes into your computer. Always scan the downloaded files before opening them. Free utilities and software like free online virus removal software, tray clock, weather forecast, music, and video etc. often come bundled with virus, spyware, and Trojan among other malware. If you want to download a free utility, always trust a trusted, secured website. Do not visit the websites that don't use HTTPS, a secure and anti-phishing technique. You can download and HTTPS Everywhere, a plug-in. It forces several popular websites to use the HTTPs encryption and thus prevents intrusion and maintains your privacy.

Additional Tips:

Set your browser not to store history (at least for insured or less-secured websites). Also, set your browser not to remember your passwords. In case of a difficulty, contact a web browser support service.

How Would You Like Random Blog Posts Deleted and a Knock on the Door for the Internet Police?

The other day, I was on a search engine, and I was amazed at how many dead web links there were to news stories about a certain very famous and popular politician in American politics. It seems as if someone went around and tried to sue all the news companies for posting information on our president which didn't show him in a good light, or something much more insidious - the search engine had purposely removed the links, or political operatives had paid various online companies to make sure they didn't show up anymore.

In case you didn't know it, there are companies you can pay who supposedly guarantee they can get a web link removed. These services exist so folks can manage their reputations online, especially if someone writes something that is basically slander, and destroys their reputation. Of course, if you are a famous politician in China, or you are the government there, you simply have your own censorship department which can go in and actually remove blog posts.

In the "Journal of the Internet" there was an interesting new research paper presented on the Chinese Government censorship wars going on right now. An article titled; "Censorship and Deletion Practices In Chinese Social Media" by Bamman, O'Connor, Smith of Carnegie Mellon - tells it all. In fact, the abstract stated;

"With Twitter and Facebook blocked in China, the stream of information from Chinese domestic social media provides a case study of social media behavior under the influence of active censorship. While much work has looked at efforts to prevent access to information in China (including IP blocking of foreign Web sites or search engine filtering), we present here the first large-scale analysis of political content censorship in social media, i.e., the active deletion of messages published by individuals."

Now then, if you're in China, I certainly wouldn't recommend that you post anything that would offend the government. But wouldn't it be a bummer if you posted something on your blog, and all the suddenly someone else had removed it? And maybe it wasn't even a person, maybe there was some sort of software that picked out keywords, or this case symbols, and it merely removes those combinations anytime they were found online.

Worse, if you really did mean to slander the government, or in this case perhaps tell the truth, you might have someone knock on your door, arrest you, and put you in prison. And don't think it hasn't happened before or that it won't happen again. And let's not just pick on China, as many other countries are doing the same thing. Did you know that Iran actually has a Minister of Internet Censorship? Yes, it is true, it is actually a branch of government; the Ministry of Internet Censorship. Please consider all this and think on it.

What Contributes To A Good Internet Security Software?

Our computers have never been so vulnerable even in the advancements in hardware technology. Imagine somewhere in the vast landscape of the internet, a whole army of threats are waiting to strike at the right moment. That's why every computer user needs the help of a good internet security software. When this area of computer care is neglected, not only the performance of the machines is at stake, it may affect your personal safety as well.

Most of the internet security programs comes in a bundle that includes a firewall, antispyware, antivirus and other capabilities. The main function of the software is to protect your computer from invaders, or outside parties that want your personal information or flood your computer with ads and spam. Some examples of these threats include spyware, malware, hackers, Trojans, and the vicious computer virus.

Before purchasing a security software bundle, make sure you know what kind of threats it is protecting your computer from. There are plenty of computer security products out there that promise to protect against all types of threats, but users still need to read the packaging carefully, or talk with a sales clerk about the product's capabilities. You should choose the bundle that will protect your machine from as many threats as possible.

Good security program should be able to advise users in case an unknown virus suddenly attacks the computer. Especially when browsing the internet, your computers are exposed to a multitude of threats lurking within web pages and emails.

A good internet security program should have an automatic update system that works regularly. This will prevent new threats from attacking your system, because many Trojans, viruses, and spyware are developed each day. The users should also be allowed to manually update their security program if they want to.

Aside from preventing a total system's meltdown and a deluge of ads, you could also protect precious personal information and data with internet security software. It is useful for a security bundle to come with a backup and restore capability as well. This can help you recover your data in case disaster strikes.

Those who are looking for the best internet security software need to find a balance between the amount of protection they need and the computer performance. Many computer users find their units slow down considerably after installing a security software bundle. To avoid this, consumers may pick the software that comes with a PC optimization capability. Not only should the software protect your computer from various threats, the best internet security software should also guarantee a smooth and fast performance.

Check out great deals on the top rated antivirus program and the best internet security software now.
