Online Privacy and Security

Online Privacy and Security

It seems like every day you hear of a new data breach. Is security dead?
If you read today’s headlines about security breaches, you might be thinking of going back to fax machines and snail mail. Or you might be assuming that privacy is dead and we may as well get used to it (and you have nothing to hide, right?)

There is no such thing as perfect security, but you can learn to greatly decrease your chances of something bad happening.
While there is no such thing as foolproof security and privacy, there is a middle ground that you can find by understanding and using particular techniques.
