Safety rules in the virtual world

How to reduce the number of "bread crumbs" on the Internet and increase your anonymity. Compiled on the recommendations of experts, professionals, experienced users and private detectives
1. Do not write too much.
2. Do not use geolocation services such as Foursquare, where it should be noted in which cafe and bar and when you came.
3. Do not use social networks. If you use it, indicate the minimum of information, do not publish posts, do not report your movements and events in private life.
4. When filling out questionnaires when registering on various services, use fake data - street, house number, passport data, home phone.
5. When registering, many services offer to choose a secret question that you can answer if you forget your password. In the case of a correct response, the system allows you to replace the old password. The question established by most systems by default: "The Mother's Material House." It is best to write not a surname, but some word or phrase. For example, "green stool." Or choose other questions.
6. Create complex passwords. Amazingly, but the most popular password is 123456. You can’t create a password that coincides with the date of birth, name and surname, the name of the place of work, and in general have something remotely similar to human language. The more characters in the password, the better. 5J6SVPKJ7 - a good option.
7. Do not use the same password on different services.
8. Regularly change all passwords.
9. Do not keep secret documents at the post office and other online services.
10. For secret correspondence, use individual mail accounts that have no personal information.
11. Carefully follow the movements over the network, so as not to stumble upon dubious sites that often contain viruses.
12. Do not use it is little-known and unverified by online stores.
13. Do not use applications on social networks - through them, maybe the information was already flowing.
14. Do not publish your passport, pension, insurance, banking and other data.
15. Do not post and do not mention your phone number, home address and other information.
16. Do not look for a suspicious in Google.
17. Google archives the entire history of requests. If you do not want your requests to be laid out and saved by day-hours, use Scroogle Scraper. This is a search based on Google, which uses fake IP addresses.
18. Use distorting proxy servers that encrypt your IP address. For example - Anonymizer.ru.
19. Do not use common browsers. Use the Ecapsule browser (cost - $ 30). It does not save any data, does not show your IP and opens only on a password.
20. Do not forget: everything that got to the network remains there forever. And it can always be found.
