5 Tips on How to Keep Your Privacy Safe from Unwanted Audience

There is an old concept about trust and mistrust in general. We always discuss with each other about being vigilant and cautious about people around us. We always tell our children to not to hang out with strangers. Not to exchange gifts. Not to even go close to them. And up to some extent, we also apply the same rules to ourselves.

But what about people we know and show our trust in? It is a fact that people we know and stay with all the time can hurt our privacy to a lot more extent than people who don't know us but who keep on trying to get some hands on our private information.

And while browsing internet, it even gets more critical. While we share our sensitive information like photos, SSNs, Credit Card Nos. Driving License Nos. Bank Accounts, etc. with third parties and with people whom we like to do so online, we sometimes forget the fact that our own machine can even be compromised and cause our privacy to be leaked effectively into unwanted hands.

Therefore, I am very much confident about the fact that our privacy lies in our own hands. So, in general we can stay safe through:

1. Never ever sending sensitive information on public computers
2. Making sure that website we are interacting with uses https (secure) protocol to communicate
3. Keeping machine's antivirus updated.
4. Deleting browsing history on computers
5. Checking for malwares and keyloggers on computers to use

So stay safe during your online sessions.
