Minimize Stalking

How to Minimize Stalking“When I first worked in this field, surveillance equipment was expensive, complicated to use and limited to law enforcement and the military,” says Dill. “Now anyone with a credit card can purchase extremely sophisticated, simple to use spy equipment—even on Amazon.”Social media and nanny cameras have become the most common cyberstalking tools, he says. “People use nanny cameras because they’re so inexpensive and readily available. And everyone understands how to use social media, but most don’t comprehend how it works and what personal information is collected,” says Dill. “Many people use social media to share their location with friends, but don’t properly set their security settings, or they accept individuals as friends that they don’t really know. In addition, simple GPS and Bluetooth devices are being repurposed for stalking.”Asked how to minimize vulnerability to cyberstalking, Dill says, “People need to read the privacy policy and terms of service on the apps and social media they use. Once they understand what permissions they are actually granting, they can take steps to limit their exposure by setting their security settings.”As for preventing someone from watching you via a hacked webcam, Dill suggests powering down laptops and covering cameras that are not in use, using anti-virus programs and online scanners, and keeping operating systems up-to-date. In general, he says, “If you think someone might know your User ID and password, change it.”Preventing GPS tracking is more challenging. GPS “jammers” are available online, though illegal in the U.S., Dill says. He suggests physically searching the vehicle for tiny devices, but some are so small that a forensic expert might be needed. There are definitely products out there that are so well hidden that you would never know they existed. I’ve seen cameras in alarm clocks, wall clocks and soda cans. They’re so tiny, they could be just about anywhere,” says Wolf.*extortion through sex.Questions- Nowhere to HideAnswer the following questions according to section IntroductionComplete the following sentences.
