Hide Your Digital Trail:

 

 

That is Easy … just do everything in the previous two chapters … “Computer Security And Privacy” and “Telephone, Voice Over Internet Phone (VOIP), Cell Phone, And Superphone”. Your laptops will be secure, protected, and encrypted. Important and private files will be securely encrypted and stored in a separate secure location from your laptops. You will have secure and encrypted backups. You will have a decoy and clean computer, protected for everyday and travel use. Your Internet browsing will be protected, secure, and private.

 

If you have a tablet or Superphone, then make it private. Start by registering these devices to a Protected Business Name or a Fake Name that is NOT traceable to your Given Name or your home address.

 

 

How do you make your email private?

 

This is difficult because email has many sides. There’s a sender, a receiver, and maybe multiple receivers for every email. There’s also the email provider for each party to an email. You can’t control what other people do with email you send, let alone what ALL of your email friends do with email both sent and received. You don’t control the email provider either.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  My advice is simple. Keep your emails respectable, responsible, and safe to the point that if anyone were to read any email you send, you would not be embarrassed or placed in any jeopardy. To put it another way, assume your email is read by your worst nemesis and CYA (Cover Your Assets). For those occasions when you need an email to be secure and even self-destruct, read on …

 

 

SEND PRIVATE INFORMATION BY EMAIL:

 

Go to www.thismessagewillselfdestruct.com

 

Enter a message in the box on the left

 

Enter a password. (optional, but recommended). Something simple like the first name of the recipient, or P O Box number.

 

Send a clue about a password to the recipient in advance

 

Check the box where you accept the Terms of Service

 

Click on the button “Save This Message”

 

A URL will show up

 

Click on the small icon at the end of the URL

 

It will say “COPY”

 

 

You can send a test email to yourself:

 

In the body, hit “Control + C” to paste the URL in the message

 

Send it

 

When the email arrives, click on the URL

 

Enter the password

 

Read your test message

 

When you leave the page … The message disappears!

 

NOTE:  To be anonymous, send all encrypted email from a public computer far from home (library or Internet café). Never write a secret message using Microsoft Word, because there is imbedded “metadata” about the document’s author.
