7 Scary Privacy Issues to be aware of -

We are all aware of the National Security Agency break the encryption and implementing backdoors on different servers, and networks within many social sites, email providers, mobile networks, mobile phones and other platforms to collect information on behalf of safety and security for the American people and other friendly countries in the whole world.

Whether you agree or disagree with these policies, there are many disadvantages to this level of espionage. At this point, we as a culture goes a change where we are used to these "invasions" instead of putting our collective foot down and say no

  1. Facebook: . Like it or not, there have been recent changes in the privacy policy of the social network in that its parameters are not (which means by default) allow users to exclude their Facebook profile from a public search.
  2. Google Google has updated its terms of service so that it can use your Google+ name, face, web reviews and social media activities in online ads to anyone for any reason, as long as Google think it would help sell what the ad offers.
  3. Apple researchers determined Apple's iMessages are playing, or at least be able to be read by Apple employees. This news should not surprise people too because we have known for some time that emails can be read by employees in different email providers
  4. LinkedIn Intro :. This is a new service that connects your Apple iOS email to LinkedIn servers, which essentially routes your emails in a situation average man-in-the-kind. While the company says it will not access your e-mails, some say it can, which really is not good
  5. Drones :. Yes, drones while small, mosquitoes or size of aircraft unmanned aircraft begin to populate heaven specifically to collect information on those who are up to no good or is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
  6. Webcam spying: a clean-rental company recently was sentenced to a heavy fine amount of money by the FTC because it has installed software on its laptops to spy on the behavior users. The point of the software was really to locate devices if they are lost or stolen, but apparently someone internally could not use
  7. free WiFi :. At this time, dozens of municipalities are investing in WiFi they call "muniWiFi" meaning network municipal wireless and is designed for coverage of cities and provide free wireless to anyone who wants . But just because it's free does not mean it is safe; no doubt the criminals will have a field day with the free public WiFi like this, so you must have a step ahead of the bad guys. Using a VPN like Hotspot Shield VPN to protect your data. Hotspot Shield will also protect your IP address protecting you from prying eyes.

You say not to worry about all this seems like a pretty lame way to conclude a regurgitation of how privacy has been lost and how businesses and our government take the opportunity. But frankly, as long as you consciously participate (or not participate) in a way that you or your data prevents it from being unintentionally exposed, so do not worry about it. But at least do something.
