Abstract

Pop-up ads, cookies, spyware, spam, junk mail, telemarketing calls. Rapidly evolving technology has made you a target and your personal information a desirable commodity. Your profile is out there and it's available not just to the highest bidder, but to every bidder. Technology, advertising, the media, and government have converged to invade our privacy. Invasion of Privacy exposes the dangers and proposes a practical defense. Invasion of Privacy is about people; people who do good and evil things with technology, people who are victims of technology, and victims who become avengers by turning the tables on the technology that victimizes them. Features Invasion of Privacy! is entertaining and simple to understand and it includes practical advice for average computer users. Average computer users will gain enormous benefits from simple steps like avoiding strange file attachments, creating secondary e-mail accounts, scanning for viruses, updating their anti-virus software, browsing through a Web Anonymizer, flushing their browser cache, controlling cookies, deleting Web bugs, complicating and cataloguing their passwords and more!
