    The one who owns the information owns the world. In the age of advanced information technologies, this wisdom reveals a new side. After all, today there are many tools to steal your data and deprive you of the right to privacy of information. Sometimes this is used by attackers, sometimes by government officials. Whatever the case, we will tell you how to protect yourself from this and keep your data private.

    Information online

    If you want your web surfing to be as secure and private as possible, bulk private proxies — are the first thing you need to install. There are many unreliable options among free proxies, and this is at best. In the worst case, you may encounter a situation when the proxy provider wants to use your data for its own purposes. That’s why it is important to choose a reliable proxy provider, such as soax.com.

    In addition to proxies, you can use other security tools – for example, VPN or TOR browser. However, please note that in this case the Internet speed will be very slow.

    Eavesdropping protection

    This issue can be solved radically – by changing communication standards. Most modern mobile phones operate on the GSM standard, which is easy to intercept if you know how to do it. But there is also the CDMA standard. It is many years old, the phones working with it are an average of one and a half times more expensive, and they are almost always ordinary push-button phones, sometimes even without J2ME.

    However, the reliability of this standard is shown by the fact that the knowledgeable people, businessmen and those for whom safety is above all, steadily support it financially.This also includes the simple change of a smartphone to a regular phone.

    You can also check your phone to see if it is bugging. If you have a smartphone, the indirect signs that your conversations may not be private are:

    • the battery dies very quickly, even if you do nothing;
    • you can hear other people’s voices in the phone while you are talking;
    • the smartphone heats up a lot, and when you bring it to the speakers, you hear a background sound. 

    These signs are not one hundred percent proof of wiretapping, but if you have noticed them, then you have a reason to worry a little.

    SMS interception

    Two rules can help you protect yourself from SMS interception. Firstly, do not give anyone your smartphone, and if you do, do not forget to set a guest mode or a password to access your data. This will at least help you avoid the consequences of human curiosity. As for SMS directly, one of the most beneficial options is encryption. For Android and iOS, there are special applications that perform these functions.

    Determining your location

    Everything is very simple here. You can find out your location quite easily through the included GPS receiver on your smartphone, and a little more complicated through the operator and SIM card. Moreover, even if your phone is turned off, your location point can still be found with average accuracy. The solution is obvious: if privacy is so important to you, remove the SIM card from the phone when you want to stay inconspicuous.

    However, for GPS there is another solution – incorrect coordinates. There are special applications that emulate your location anywhere, even in Rome, even in Paris. And you can find them for both Android and iOS.
