Internet Marketers nowadays often get caught up in their business, that they tend to forget the medium they’re employing all along.
THE INTERNET.
The technical aspect of Internet is just as important as the Marketing (that’s why it’s called Internet marketing in the first place!). If anything needs to grow, if anyone needs to evolve in their progress, a solid foundation is needed to be laid down.
Whether you consider yourself to Black hat, Grey hat or White hat, every once and a while, you might ask yourself how the information that is sent by surfing is handled.
Information is transmitted, captured and logged the mere nanosecond you arrive at a website. (I will explain the technical aspect of that in a jiffy; I promise it’s not as boring as it sounds, though!)
So whether you want to cloak your information out of privacy, or if you want to take no risk, or if you want to bypass a filter at work, or if you want to appear as if you're from another country, or if you think of a smart, new IM technique for it, anonymous surfing is something that you might need more than you would imagine!
Probably, when you're reading this article, this website has already logged all sorts of things from you. Starting with your IP address, your location, your ISP location, where you IP was leased, your connection speed, your browser and it's version, your screen resolution, what page you came from and what other pages you're visiting on this site... Kinda scary, right?
MSNBC did an interesting case study on the whole matter of privacy theft. The above alone gives enough information for a malicious person to track you down, or even worse, for a hacker to get into your computer. Sometimes, hackers will take computers "hostage" and utilize them as working stations to transmit all sorts of illegal content. Those are called "slaves" in the hacker jargon.
MSNBC reported about a man that got hacked and was found with hundreds of illegal child pornography on his computer. He got thrown in jail for 45 days until it was finally found out that his computer got hacked and was spreading this content from a hacker.
Imagine how this man must've felt...? More and more are scammers and malicious surfers getting crafty into tricking Internet Marketers into their little scams with frighteningly simple strategies. Acting like a famous Internet Marketer, hoaxing a website, and the like have are being reported with an increasing trend, but the information on privacy control is getting all the more scarce and ineffective.
The methods that are supposedly solid-proof and available are often long redundant. A firewall won't keep a hacker out if he/she really wants to get in. But all too often will a personal firewall offer a fake sense of security, but I don't want to say that a firewall doesn't work. But it's simply not enough!
A good protection starts with wit and common sense. Learning how to surf. Knowing where to look for good software and knowing what software to avoid.
