Chapter 1 -
The Illusion of Anonymity
Corporate Anti-Privacy Tools
Besides the tools that the government may use,
many companies also provide tools that can be utilized by businesses
and home users alike to monitor and track computer and Internet
usage. Spector Pro, a computer surveillance program, is one such
product that is made by SPECTORSOFT. The latest version of this
tool allows a person to track e-mail usage, instant messaging
traffic, websites visited and programs used. This surveillance
program is a great asset for accumulating data. In the business
world, management has a responsibility to ensure that business
secrets are not leaked from the company. In the home environment,
parents have the responsibility to monitor children to make certain
that their use of computers does not put them at risk of becoming
the victim of a sexual predator, for example.
Coming to grips with the reality that much
personal information has become all too readily available is the
first step in protecting one’s self from prying eyes. The following
section will explore further measures that can be taken to keep
personal information just that, personal.
This section has provided an overview of the
illusion of anonymity on the web. Next, some tools and techniques
to minimize exposure will be explored.
