WHAT IS ONLINE PRIVACY?

• ONLINE PRIVACY IS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL AND MANAGE OUR

PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN WE USE THE INTERNET.
• PERSONAL INFORMATION CAN INCLUDE OUR NAME, ADDRESS,
CREDIT CARD DETAILS, BROWSING HISTORY, AND MORE.
WHO SEES MY DATA?
• INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER CAN TRACK MY ALL
MOVEMENTS ON SOCIAL WEBSITES.
• THE SITES I VISIT ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO MY DATA.
• AGENCIES ALSO TRACKS PEOPLE TO CONFIRM THERE IS
NO CRIME PLANNING HAPPENING ONLINE.
• TO SUM UP, EVERYTHING ABOUT ME IS IN AT LEAST ONE
COMPUTER FILE.
 IS MY DATA SAFE?

• THE DATA IS SAFE IF IT IS NOT IN DEMAND.

• IF SOMEONE WANTS MY DATA AND HAVE MONEY,
HE CAN GO TO DARK WEB FOR THIS PURPOSE.
• DARK WEB IS A PLACE TO LIVE IN FOR HACKERS.
• SO IF SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY A GOOD
AMOUNT FOR YOUR DATA, THEN IT IS NOT SAFE
ANYMORE.
DO GOVERNMENT HAVE ACCESS TO MY
DATA?
• GOVERNMENT SECURITY AGENCIES LIKE THE NSA CAN ALSO HAVE
ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICES THROUGH IN-BUILT BACKDOORS.
• THIS MEANS THAT THESE SECURITY AGENCIES CAN TUNE IN TO
YOUR PHONE CALLS, READ YOUR MESSAGES, CAPTURE PICTURES
OF YOU, STREAM VIDEOS OF YOU, READ YOUR EMAILS, STEAL
YOUR FILES AT ANY MOMENT THEY PLEASE.
• THAT’S A LOT TO DIGEST THAT EVERYTHING I DO IS BEING
MONITORED.
SNOWDEN INCIDENT
• EDWARD JOSEPH SNOWDEN (BORN JUNE 21,
1983) IS AN AMERICAN AND NATURALIZED
RUSSIAN FORMER COMPUTER INTELLIGENCE
CONSULTANT.
• HE LEAKED HIGHLY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
FROM THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY (NSA)
IN 2013, FOR ETHICAL REASONS.
• IT HAPPENED IN THE GOVERNANCE OF BARACK
OBAMA.

IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN LEARNING

ABOUT DATA HANDLING AND
MONITORING , I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM
THIS MOVIE.
 MAKING DATA SAFE
• USE STRONG PASSWORDS.
• BE WARY OF SUSPICIOUS EMAILS.
• INSTALL ANTI-VIRUS AND MALWARE PROTECTION.
• DON'T LEAVE PAPERWORK OR LAPTOPS UNATTENDED
• MAKE SURE YOUR WI-FI IS SECURE.
“THE ONLY PROTECTION IS TO UNDERSTAND
THAT EVERYTHING YOU PUT UP THERE CAN
BE ACCESSED BY SOMEBODY ELSE”

THANK YOU!
