Check out my post-Snowden guide to internet privacy and security, written for Catalyst Science News, the news site produced by City University science journalism MA students class of 2014.
In this feature I guide you through three basic steps to protect your personal data from spies, crooks and Google.
This article was posted on the same day that the Heartbleed bug was announced, making it all the more timely.
Summary
This guide will help to protect your online accounts, even if your password is compromised, from hackers who want to steal your credit card details. It takes you on a journey through two-step verification, the Tor browser, and encrypted email. These tools will stop tech firms from being able to profit from selling data about you, as well as stop the government from tracking you online and accessing your private communications.
All techniques described are legal.
