Every person has a unique fingerprint, as well as almost every device through which you visit sites. Namely, sites can access some information about your system through a web browser and create a digital fingerprint based on that. Later, this information is sold to advertising agencies and they follow you on the Internet and place advertisements.

In this article, I will show you how to hide your IP address completely free of charge and thus be anonymous on the Internet. You can hide your IP address in several ways, but I will show you the most effective one.

As you surf the internet your location is available on every site you visit. Basically, every site you visit knows your IP address, location, region, country . .. and much more. You don't believe it?

Chrome has built-in protection against malicious sites, but Microsoft Edge has protection (SmartScreen) which, according to tests, is better. As users do not switch to Edge, and after so much effort that Microsoft has invested, they decided to make an add-on for Chrome.

Two-factor authentication is definitely desirable protection for your online accounts. But to enable this option, you must always have your phone with you to receive login codes. The problem arises when you do not receive an SMS, or it takes a long time to arrive. That's why applications for offline code generation such as Google Authenticator have been created. But even with that application, the process itself takes longer than when you just log in to the site without two-level protection.

Do you trust this URL: www. a pple.com? It looks like a link to the Apple site, but it's not! Don't you see what's wrong with that link? Don't worry, you're not the only one, most people won't notice the difference, and here's what it's all about. https://www.apple.com looks like a link to the Apple site, but it's actually another link that looks a lot like the original and leads to another site. The difference is in the letter "a", which is actually Unicode Cyrillic "a" (U + 0430), and not the standard ASCII "a" (U + 0061).

I haven’t written a VPN -related article in a while, despite getting a lot of questions about it. The reason why I did not write articles on this topic is that I tested VPN services, so I wanted to write a summary article. And here, it's time to write which VPN services were the best for me so far. When I say "best", I mean ME, the best for MY criteria. And what I watched was:

As Ransomware viruses began to appear rapidly and spread, such as WannaCry recently, Microsoft decided to take Windows PC protection to a whole new level.

One Facebook patent clearly shows how Facebook will use the front camera on phones to record users' facial expressions . This is not new since Facebook developed this patent in 2014 and published it in 2015. The idea is to record the expressions of the user's leaves - emotions - during their various activities on that social network, for example, while the user likes a post. In this way, Facebook can determine (understand) even more precisely what the user likes and does not like. For some, this is a great option because they will get more relevant information on the wall, but some are also worried and wonder where privacy is ?

Ransomware Wana Decryp0r , also known as WCry , WannaCry , and WannaCrypt , is a virus that has traveled the world and infected hundreds of thousands of computers in 99 countries. This virus is known to us before, but it was not so widespread.

" Superfish " is an adware program with a major security flaw, which was found pre-installed on some Lenovo laptops.

Self-Destructing email is a service that offers a unique email address for a specified period, usually 10 minutes. After the scheduled period of the email address expires, it is automatically destroyed and all messages that arrived at that address. IMPORTANT : These email addresses can be detected!

SuperVPN service offers you an amazing opportunity to surf without tracking because it hides your IP address and no one can find any information about you. This means that no one can see the content of your emails, or block your web use. Virtual private networks redirect traffic through the VPN tunnel through highly secure servers, thus preventing the theft of your data. You get an extra layer of protection every time you connect to the network. Geographically blocked sites can be easily bypassed while using a server-generated IP address.

Although web browsers and antiviruses today protect us quite well from phishing, keyloggers, viruses, etc. many Facebook users are still facing hacked accounts . Most often, these are the mistakes of the users themselves, because they are not careful or simply do not know how to protect themselves. That's why I decided to write this article where I will explain how to protect your email and Facebook account, as well as the computer itself.

You have just sent your data to a remote server from which the hacker can read it.
