RE: How I Improved my Security on the Internet - Easy Ways to Improve Your Own Security

in #technology7 years ago

Great post! It isn't really personal security, but for personal privacy I would absolutely recommend that you get a personal VPN. I was just telling someone the other day that you don't really see viruses that much anymore. Not like you did back in the day of Nimda and Sircam. Most things now are browser hijacks and malware that you get by clicking on a link. The boom in virtualization and emulation software like Virtualbox have made it very easy to have a test machine setup. Great advice!

Oh yeah I was just talking about how insecure it could be to use a public hotspot. I reckon that you have quite a few people going around taking advantage of insecure hotel networks etc.

For sure. I was able to snag a really good deal on NordVPN a little bit ago. They even have an extension for Chrome so you can use it wherever you are.
