Some of the more recent disclosures about just how wildly unsecured your personal data is caught everyone off guard - including some of the major governments around the world. Most people had suspected that the powers that be were monitoring Internet and cell phone traffic without ever admitting to it, but the recent release of extremely controversial documents to that effect has led most people to believe that every move they make online is being monitored by somebody.
Now unfortunately we come to the reality that any government's greed for information, and their almost incredible levels of paranoia, means that they're obviously going to continue to ramp up their monitoring of all the Internet traffic they can get their hands on.
Now the question is just how much of your data can "Big Brother" really see? You see what most of the conspiracy theorists are missing out on is the devil in the details of online surveillance programs such as Prism, in that it only scans metadata, or the header information on whatever you're looking at online. Then you need to factor in that "Big Brother" is not capable of monitoring every single piece of information passing through the Internet each day - there are literally hundreds of billions of emails and instant messages sent and received each day globally and the manpower/computing power to monitor, analyse and disseminate all of that data doesn't exist at the moment.
So right now folks it's time to start learning how to hide your online activities, and one of the fastest ways to do that is by using a VPN (virtual private network). This is a pretty much automated way for you to browse online in peace by routing your Internet traffic through thousands of servers dotted all over the world. Sounds complicated? Nope it's not, and if you want to see which one I use then just check out the resource link at the end of this article - I've tried others and this is my favourite my far.
With identity theft and millions of unscrupulous hackers lurking in the misty realm of cyberspace maybe it's time to discover how to hide your IP address while online. We all know that even the most innocent browsing of online sites can result in the unintentional sharing of some of your very personal information. See an interesting ad or article to click on? If you do, then you have opened a virtual Pandora's Box that can be difficult to close. Every speck of personal data that can be gleaned from the Internet has some use to someone.
