There are a number of ways to keep prying eyes out of your business and make it more difficult for those unwanted/nefarious third parties that wish to view your private messages, email correspondence and browser history. Here are some simple tips to make you less prone to online criminal exploits.
Change search engine - DuckDuckGo is a search engine that doesn't track or share any of your
information. If you're looking for better privacy, use this over Google.
HTTPS - When you're browsing the web, you'll notice that URLs typically have the "http://" prefix, if not the more secure version: "https://"
(HTTP Secure). There is a HTTPS Everywhere browser plugin that works with Chrome,
Firefox and Opera. It attempts to automatically switch any HTTP web
address over to HTTPS which encrypts communication between you and the
server to protect against eavesdropping or impostors.
GPG - Encryption software is way of safeguarding your private correspondence. Email is an inherently insecure mode of communication - akin to writing a
letter to someone without putting it into an envelope. Anyone who
happens to handle the e-mail or access your e-mail account on the server
can read the entire mail without you noticing. GPG is an independent utility that encrypts and decrypts binary files, there is no connection with any mail server or service.
