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.
For the average Joe or Josephine this means that you're going to have to learn how to mask what you're doing online simply because nobody has the right to read your personal emails, for example. What's going on right now is a bad omen for what's coming down the pipeline in years to come - unless we see a complete regime change on an almost global basis between now and then.
Your Internet Protocol address is just the first privacy threat you will face online, but definitely not the last. IP addresses allow your computer's unique signal to be recognized and identified. This is similar to a cyber fingerprint. If you have had trouble with a particular site the administrators can bar your computer address and deny admission unless you have found a way to hide your IP address.
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.
