But can you trust them? This company will have records of everything you do and by being your proxy server can intercept all of your traffic, view pages as you surf, capture data, etc. Frankly their web page seems a bit shady to me. Think about it, if you really want to capture people's data wouldn't posing as a company that claims to protect them be a good way? The people most fearful of data compromise (because they have worthwhile data) seek you out.
Yet somehow they still have not been able to locate and capture the most wanted man in the world. Do you really think that the NSA is in the lead when there is abundant economic incentive for the private sector to develop the same technology? If the staggering incompetence at every visible level of government is any indicator of the capabilities of the NSA, I say that you can sleep quite easy with your peer reviewed encryption technology.
'Yet somehow they still have not been able to locate and capture the most wanted man in the world' just one of those bizarre concidences, huh. Must be.
I am not concerned with the NSA stealing my money out of my account. Have they done this? I don't know of the NSA stealing $$ out of trading accounts. They can snif my ass as long as they don't ripp me off and drain my account. I am concerned with hackers breaking into my account and stealing my account. What are the necessary protections that need to be in place from preventing this from happening?
Perfect Privacy is really awesome and have a great support to help you set everything up. Anyway, it's as easy as it can get. BTW, they revamped their homepage. Looks much better now.
I don't get this. What exactly do you think your ISP is going to do? Blackmail you about what porn sites you visit? If you aren't doing anything illegal that you want to hide, the most basic of protections will keep your trading accounts safe, as long as you use some common sense and use a decent broker. There really isn't a need for these site anonymizers and all that rubbish. - Have a dedicated trading machine that you do NOTHING else with. Install a mainstream spyware program and a mainstream virus program. - Don't use wireless on this system or on any other system that is on the same network with it. (This isn't necessary if you know how to lock down your wireless properly, but if you are paranoid knock yourself out.) - Use a broker that has an SSL website or program. Even better, use something like IB and enable your account to use the keycard thingy. - Make sure your trading PC is behind a firewall. A basic Linksys firewall/router is all you need. - Don't write your password down on a sticky on your monitor. Duh. A lot of "internet crime", just like credit card crime, isn't having your info stolen online, it is low tech someone being sneaky and finding out your account info. Don't overcomplicate your life.
Anyone who has researched it at all knows the US govt has ZERO actual interest in capturing said person. All the way from declining gift wrapped offerings of foreign govts to actively ordering US forces to stand down in Afghanistan. If said person is actually what popular media says, and not an al CIAda operative from day1 to now (and that's a big IF), then they likely have ZERO interest in capturing the elusive bogeyman that has been so instrumental in foisting so many undeclared, unconstitutional wars. Maybe he's dead 5 years, I don't give a shit... He's only a threat because the threat was so beneficial to neocon agenda. eN eS Ay can suck it, tides are turning, the real agenda of turning America into a new world order police state is becoming increasingly obvious... Soon they'll be the ones in prison. Amateur hackers can best the best of the govt any day of the week. Govt can only sneak around putting in bugged devices, compile databases with the help of telecoms and MS (NSA vista backdoor).. and use rubber hose attacks when all else fails.
