We are experiencing a level of connection never seen before and technology is pushing the limits of privacy further every day. Facial recognition software and biometric identification devices are here to stay, but there are far greater intrusions in people’s privacy that we do not notice. Every new mobile app that tries to make our lives easier comes with a privacy issue, and many are only created as an excuse to amass personal data. Government and corporate surveillance is real and increasing, with liberties rapidly depleting. Protecting your privacy both online and in real life should be a top priority to stay safe.
Understanding the risks
A wide variety of consequences are involved when your privacy has been compromised. Russian private investigators have identified many of these risks through field work, including identity theft, romance and investment scams, blackmail, assault, and even kidnapping and homicide. Victims are often first targeted using the tools the Internet provides, and the options are plenty. Google Street View is used by thousands of criminals each day to conduct crimes and in the preparation of targeting victims.
Everyone is at risk
It might be possible that your privacy is being compromised without you even realizing it. Anytime you use an unsecured Wi-Fi network, a dating app or a social media network, criminals could be waiting. If you use the internet, you can be a victim.
How to protect yourself
There are a variety of resources available to stay safe online and offline, but here are some specific ways you can protect your privacy and avoid being a victim.
Overall, it is important to remember that your privacy can be compromised but there are still ways to protect yourself and loved ones. If you are not doing everything in your power to cover every end, your information becomes vulnerable. Being aware of your weaknesses will ensure you can improve your safety and protect your privacy.
