Abstract:
It only takes a couple of clicks: we order a product, post an image, download a file or transfer money but as we participate in the online world, we are being watched. Institutions and corporations, both public and private, gather our data and compile comprehensive virtual profiles about us, including our preferences, needs, and desires and sell them on to anyone interested. Hackers, former business partners, friends or loved ones may turn against us and launch a digital attack. The Safe Surfer helps readers protect themselves against digital threats and secure their privacy in the digital age.
