How to protect ourselves:- Anonymous and Private browsing • Anonymous browsers:- They are used by journalists governments etc. which let the user access the internet without revealing personal information such as IP address. For e.g. Tor browser Private Browsing can be achieved through the following ways:- Incognito Browsing Proxy VPNs

For e.g. Incognito mode in Chrome, private browsing in Firefox. • Proxy:- A proxy site serves as an intermediate between the user and the desired website. Instead of the user, the trackers receive data about the proxy site. • VPN:- A virtual private network, or VPN, is an encrypted connection via internet from a device to a network. It can be installed as a plugin too. It tunnels your connection through a private server.

- 9. Use a firewall whenever possible:- A firewall is a barrier which monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on given guidelines. It keeps unauthorized traffic out. Control browser settings:- Browsers track user data and share information with websites you might not approve of. Disable 3rd party cookies to prevent tracking. Use private browsing:- Using methods such as the ones mentioned previously, keep your personal information and browsing data safe. Be careful with url:- It is better to type it in yourself instead of clicking on a link and making sure that the connection is secure with https and a padlock sign.
- 10. Be careful about what you’re posting on the internet:- While posting on social media sites like Facebook, it should be ensured that no personal information like residential addresses are divulged. Handle emails with care:- Be cautious with how much you trust emails, especially ones from illegitimate looking sources. Do not open attachments in this case, nor click on any links. Avoid dealing with sensitive information while using public connections:- Public WIFI's are often unencrypted and are thus easy to gain access to which can be used to commit fraudulent activities. Avoid using public computers:- Ensure your login information and passwords are not getting saved. Avoid putting sensitive data in and make sure the computer is not left unattended if you do. Delete cookies and log out when you are done.
