FBI Digital Exhaust Opt Out Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780994437655)

We live in a world where your every click online leaves a trace. As you navigate the internet, you're leaving footprints behind, and sometimes these footprints can lead trouble right to your doorstep. If you're seeking to guard your digital life against prying eyes, the FBI Digital Exhaust Opt Out Guide is your ultimate handbook.

In a world where more and more of our lives are lived online, learning to protect yourself is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity. And this book, one of the FBI's own guides to digital security for law enforcement and their families, breaks it all down in a way that's easy to understand.

Ever been creeped out by a friend request from a weird profile? You'll learn how to spot them, and why that's important. Are your home photos on a real estate listing making you a target? Discover how to scrub them off the net. And those ads that seem to know what you're thinking? This guide tells you how they're tracking you and how to stop them.

You'll also find out about data brokers who make big bucks by selling your information and how to thwart them. Plus, there's practical advice on how and why to limit your social media friends and followers lists, why facial recognition isn't your friend, and how you can make yourself a lot harder to find online.

But it doesn't stop there. This guide shows you how to secure your Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox data, and introduces you to cool tools like Ghostery, which helps keep trackers at bay.

The FBI Digital Exhaust Opt Out Guide should be your go-to guide for taking control of your digital life. It's about making sure the internet is a tool to make your life better, not a weapon to be used against you. Don't leave your online safety to chance. Make yourself a hard target with the right knowledge and keep your digital life your own.
