Ultimately, your security and privacy while
using the Internet are your responsibility.
You have to be vigilant, aware, and
educate yourself about these issues. The

take a cavalier attitude about privacy and
security. Learn more, become informed.
Below are some links to various sites
that will give you a start on obtaining
software/hardware for your protection and
privacy, as well as links to organizations
that take these issues very seriously.
