We are living in an era where technology is developing at a great
pace and due to these security issues are also increasing day by day. Due to
which our privacy is no longer private. I wouldn’t speak out the name because I
will be judgmental.
So, in
this I will tell you how you can remain secure up to an extent.
Becoming completely
anonymous is difficult.
Without a further due let’s see my ways to remain secure and
private.
Note: Here
I will tell you about bot PC as well as Smartphone but majority of content will
be concentrating on PC
1.
Update your PC and Smartphone.
2.
Admin privileges
3.
Browser
4.
2-step verification.
1. Update
your PC and Smartphone.
By this mean to say always keep your system and apps up to
date. Whenever they push an update do it. That’s for your benefit. Why this important
is because majority of the update are the system patches and bug which have been
fixed. If you don’t update then you can get infected by the common vulnerability
which are been fixed in update as all the hacker will know the bug which is
been patched and if hack into your system easily.
This should be done in both PC and Smartphones.
2. Admin Privileges.
You should always use your PC in local account. This means
you should create an local
user in your P.C which doesn’t have admin privileges.
Why it is
important?
According to Microsoft vulnerability Report 2019 around 81% of
Microsoft vulnerability in eliminated in enforcing least privileges and removing
admin rights.
If this bounced up your let’s take an example.
Assume admin as a boss and local user as employee of the
company. Here boss have all the right of the company, boss can do anything he
wants but employee can’t do all things employee has limitation. Same concept applies
to PC. Admin control all the process of the computer and local user don’t have
control over all process.
Due to which if a malicious file enters your system in local
user then it the effect in diluted. And some malware requires admin power to execute
so in this situation you are safe.
I recommend you to create local user with least privileges
in your PC and use admin account only will installing necessary software.
3. Browser
Google is the biggest culprit when it comes to web tracking,
with hidden tracker found on around 76% of the top million site.
My recommendation is to uninstall google chrome and user other
browser available in the market.
Here is the list of Browser:
Pro tip: Don’t use UC browser and opera they both belong
to same category of Google chrome.
According to my opinion Brave
browser is best from interface to it privacy as well as it's AD blocker feature. I loved it
one of the best browsers, I have ever use.
4. 2-step verification
2-step verification
can save your from getting hacked if the hacked came to know your password.
Basically, it adding an extra layer of security for logging in successfully , by asking permission on the main device which you have set in the setting.
Or you can use SMS verification as well. And the new concept which no longer new,
authenticator app which provide you a 6-Digit code that is randomly generated
every 30 second (it changes every 30 seconds). Most popular app is Google
authenticator app.
Note: This authenticator is available for smartphones
only.
Enable 2-step verification in all your account and add an
extra layer of security to your
privacy.
