Bookmark These: Protecting your online data
By

We're all doing a lot more business online these days, but what can you do to protect financial and other private information there? These sites will help you take charge of your data.
—Electronic privacy: The Electronic Privacy Information Center, at epic.org, has this well-organized page of "practical privacy tools." It centralizes listings for what it calls snoop-proof email services, such as HushMail and Safe Message, anonymous Web surfing, firewalls and encryption options. The nonprofit EPIC says it doesn't endorse any of the companies or services listed. http://epic.org/privacy/tools.html
—Electronic frontier: Another cyber rights group, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has this rundown of protections. The substance of it still stands, but it's an old article, and many of the links we tried were dead. But advice on being skeptical of all requests for personal and financial information, not revealing that information inadvertently, not responding to spam, examining privacy policies at sites you visit, and other measures remain valuable. https://www.eff.org/wp/effs-top-12-ways-protect-your-online-privacy
—Gone phishing: The site for the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team has highly technical stuff about computer-network security, but it also has this page explaining "phishing" and how to deal with it. Phishing is the term for attempts to get your personal-financial information via scam emails and websites. The page has additional links on phishing, how it works and how to report it. http://www.us-cert.gov/nav/report(UNDERSCORE)phishing.html
—On guard: The OnguardOnline.gov site is part of the Federal Trade Commission's effort to inform the public about online dangers and to provide information to those who think they have been scammed or have had their identity compromised by online activity. The page here is all about phishing. http://www.onguardonline.gov/topics/phishing.aspx
—This FTC page tells how to file complaints to the government about suspected phishing and other online scams. http://www.onguardonline.gov/file-complaint.aspx
