Worried about people spying on you? Well take off that silly tinfoil hat and consider checking out the Electronic Frontier Foundation s latest surveillance self-defense report.
The San Francisco-based civil liberties group, which first issued the report in 2009, said it consulted with tech experts and privacy activists around the world in producing the latest version. It s in English, Spanish and Arabic, with more languages available soon, the organization noted in a press release.
The report has information on important security issues, tutorials on using privacy software and guides for various categories of users, such as human rights activists and journalism students.
Everyone has something to protect, whether its from the government or stalkers or data-miners, said the group s International Director Danny O Brien in the release. Surveillance Self-Defense will help you think through your personal risk factors and concerns – is it an authoritarian government you need to worry about, or an ex-spouse, or your employer? – and guide you to appropriate tools and practices based on your specific situation.
