Privacy Crisis

How to Maintain Your Privacy Without Becoming a Hermit

Privacy Crisis is a comprehensive guide to understanding how your personal information is being used against you for the benefit of scammers, stalkers, greedy corporations, and political propagandists—and how you can neutralize those threats without withdrawing from the modern world and living like a hermit.

The most important steps you can take to protect your privacy are immediately explained in Chapter 1: turn off your smartphone for five minutes, lock your mobile SIMs, encrypt the storage on all of your devices, organize and manage your secrets and papers, freeze your credit profiles, enable two-factor authentication everywhere you can, distrust by default all requests for payment, and do whatever you can to prevent your smartphone from being stolen.
