Halkan Digital Citizen waxaan si dhab ah u qaadnaa sirta iyo amniga khadka tooska ah. Maalmahan, waa xaqiiqo nololeed oo qofku aanu aad uga taxadari karin, xog badan oo aanu haynana wuu sii fiicnaanayaa. Xaaladdan, aqoontu runtii waa awood. Haddaba, aad baan u xiisaynayay ciwaanka Xakamaynta Qarsoonnimadaada onlaynka ah^{(Take Control of your Online Privacy)} . Buugani ma ii sheegi karaa wax ka badan wixii aan horay uga bartay ee ku saabsan amniga khadka iyo sirta? Waa buug e-e-book ah oo gaaban (118 bog) markaa miyay ku jiraan macluumaad ku filan si uu u qalmo iibsashada? Aan kuu sheego waxa aan ogaaday.

Bilaw wanaagsan

Qoraaga, Joe Kissell , waxa uu akhristaha u soo jiitaa isla marka la is-tago isagoo hordhac toos ah u saaray ujeeddada buugga, oo ay ku xigto loolan toosan oo siman: Baro waxa aad qarinayso^{(Learn what you have to hide)} . Sida uu tilmaamay, qaar badan oo naga mid ah ayaa laga yaabaa inay u qaataan inaanan haysan wax aan qarinno, laakiin taasi si fudud maaha. Xataa kan aan waxba galabsanin waxa uu leeyahay wax badan oo uu qariyo, waxaana jira habab badan oo lagu ilaaliyo dadka wax tusa.

Buuggu waxa uu si toos ah hoos ugu dhacayaa ganacsiga isaga oo si sax ah u sharaxaya waxa dadka intooda badani rabaan in ay xafidaan (goobta, macluumaadka caafimaadka, macluumaadka shaqada iyo wixii la mid ah) iyo cidda ka timid. Qaar ka mid ah xog-ururintu waxay ku saabsan yihiin waxa ay dadku filanayaan (xayaysiiyayaasha, gaar ahaan) oo ay leeyihiin niyo aan fiicneyn (xayaysiimaha la beegsanayo). Iyo, dabcan, makiinadaha raadinta ee kala duwan waxay naga nuugaan xogta haddii aan ogaano iyo haddii kale.

Laakiin waxaa jira kuwo kale oo halkaas ka jira kuwaas oo ujeeddooyinkoodu aad uga fog yihiin kuwa xun (hackers, abuurayaasha malware, dadka ka soo jeeda nolosheenna kuwaas oo laga yaabo inay aad u fogaadaan ama dhab ahaantii waxyeello noo geystaan, iwm.) iyo dabcan hay'ado dawladeed oo kala duwan oo adduunka oo dhan ah kuwaas oo ujeeddooyinkooda aan ku jirno. kaliya ma oga.

Haddaba, iyada oo dhammaan dadkaas iyo hay'adahaas oo dhan ay damceen dhammaan macluumaadka ay naga heli karaan, suurtagal ma tahay in aan si gaar ah u ilaalinno oo dhab ahaantii ammaan ahayn? Qoraagu si daacad ah ayuu uga hadlayaa: Maya. Laakin wuxuu markaa bilaabay inuu bixiyo si sahlan oo loo fahmi karo siyaabaha dadka intooda badan ay ku yeelan karaan sirnimo inta ugu badan ee suurtogalka ah. Waxaan u riyaaqay sida daacadda ah iyo habka tooska ah ee loo sheego dhibaatada iyo in akhristaha la siiyo dariiqo xal ah.

Qorshaha iyo xeeladda

Buuggu wuxuu ku sii socdaa inuu si faahfaahsan u sharraxo waxa aad u baahan tahay inaad samayso si aad xilka u qabato, adigoo ka bilaabaya waxyaabo ay fududahay in la hagaajiyo oo laga gudbo dhibaatooyinka kakan. Inteena badan waxaynu maalin walba si caadi ah u isticmaalnaa email-ka iyo browser-yada mareegaha iyada oo aan aad looga fikirin sida waxa aanu qorayno iyo waxa aanu dirno uu qof kale u arko oo uu u isticmaalo, buuggu waxa uu sharaxayaa sida aan nafteena isaga ilaalin karno inta aan ku jirno hawl maalmeedka. Qaar badan oo ka mid ah waa caqli-gal fudud, laakiin caqli-galnimada ayaa aad u fudud haddii aad gacanta ku hayso macluumaadka saxda ah. Immisa isticmaale ayaa maalin walba wax ka og DNS , tusaale ahaan? Oo weliba hubinta in goobahaas si sax ah loo sameeyay (ama xitaa isticmaalka bixiyaha DNS oo aan ahayn ^(DNS)ISP- gaaga ) waa hal tallaabo oo fudud oo xagga qarsoodiga ah ee shabakadaada guriga.

Waxaan ka shakisanahay in dad badani aysan aqoon VPN-yada (shabakadaha gaarka loo leeyahay), iyo sida ugu fudud ee loo dejin karo^{(VPNs (virtual private networks), and how easily they can be set up)} si wax uga dhex raadiso meelaha caamka ah sida dukaamada qaxwaha ay aad u ammaan badan tahay. Buuggu waxa kale oo uu tan ku sharaxay erayo fudud.

Waxaan si gaar ah u jeclaystay habka tallaabo-tallaabo ee loo abuuro qofka istaraatijiyad gaar ah oo gaar ah. Waxaan hubaa inaan ahay mid ka mid ah dad badan oo aan waligood ku fikirin inay sameeyaan shay tan aasaasiga ah oo lama huraanka ah ka hor. hadda waan samaynayaa!

Oo xataa waxaa jirta Ballanqaad la qaadanayo. Si fudud baa loo qoray, laakiin ujeeddadu waa culus tahay: Jaahil ha noqonin, marka wax la baranayo way fududahay xilliga macluumaadka, hana noqon nacas, waayo, way soo^(WILL) noqon doontaa inay ku qaniinto.

Qaadashada tillaabooyinka saxda ah

Buuggu waxa ka buuxa fursado lagu helo waxbarasho. Inteenna badan, oo aan anigu naftayda ku daray, ha ka fikirina waxyaalahan maalinba maalinta ka dambaysa. Qalab noocee ah ayaad u isticmaashaa gelitaanka shabakadda, warbaahinta bulshada iyo iimaylka? Maxaa dhacaya haddii la xado? Qaar badan oo naga mid ah ayaa ka walwala dukumeentiyada iyo xogta, laakiin ma waxaan joojineynaa inaan ka fikirno in qof kasta oo xado laptop ama taleefan casriga ah uu markaa heli karo dhammaan taariikhdayada wax raadinta sidoo kale? Waxay ogaan doonaan boggaga la booqday oo waxay arki karaan nuqullada boggaga laftooda. Haddii aad isticmaasho browser-kaaga si aad u kaydiso furahaaga sirta ah, ka fikir xumaanta la samayn karo.

Isla sidaas oo kale ayaa laga yaabaa in laga sheego xisaabaadkaaga iimaylka. Haddii aad isticmaasho macmiilka iimaylka (sida aan sameeyo) ama kaliya si toos ah u gasho emailkaaga shabakada, qof kasta oo gacmihiisa ku qabta kombayutarkaaga ama taleefankaaga ayaa sidoo kale heli kara dhammaan iimaylladaada. Xitaa haddii aad hadda uun la sheekaysanaysay saaxiibbadaa, ma rabto inaad runtii rabto qaar ka mid ah kuwa hooseeya inay gacmahooda ku helaan dhammaan ciwaannada iimaylka saaxiibbadaa, miyaad tahay?

Ka dibna waxaa jira goobo sida Facebook , kuwaas oo dadka qaarkiis u muuqdaan inay diyaar u yihiin inay mantagaan faahfaahin kasta oo ugu dambeysa ee daqiiqad kasta oo noloshooda ah. Haddii qof uu u maleynayo in alaabtu ay si uun u gaar tahay, gaar ahaan maadaama Facebook ay u muuqato inay wax walba u beddesho niyad-jab dhowrkii toddobaadba mar, waxay kaliya u qabteen shaqada hoose ee iyaga.

Waxaa kaloo jira arrimo gaar ah oo ku lug leh carruurta. Ma aha oo kaliya in carruurta yaryar ay u baahan yihiin in la ilaaliyo marka ay isticmaalayaan internetka, laakiin macluumaadka dadka waaweyn ee ku saabsan carruurtaas, iyada oo aan loo eegin sida aan waxba galabsan, waxay u baahan tahay in si adag loo ilaaliyo sidoo kale.

Qoraagu markuu arrimahaas soo qaaday, waxa uu akhristaha u mariyey xalal u dhexeeya mid fudud iyo mid hore, isaga oo sharraxaad cad ka bixinaya waxa loo baahan yahay in la sameeyo iyo sababta. Waxaan filayaa in akhristayaasha intooda badani ay heli doonaan, sidaan sameeyay, in tani ay tahay indho-fur lafteeda. Qoraagu waxa kale oo uu sameeyay muuqaal aad u wanaagsan oo u adeega sida hordhaca ugu fiican ee buugga. Waxaad ka arki kartaa hoos:

Gabagabadii

Buugani waa mid yar laakiin waa mid awood leh. Bog kasta waxaa ku yaal macluumaad faa'iido leh, oo uu qoray qof si cad u yaqaan waxa uu ka hadlayo. Buuggu si fiican ayaa loo isku daray, oo leh hyperlinks qaybaha kale iyo isku xirka ilaha dibadda sidoo kale. Waxa aan odhan karaa si aan shaki lahayn waxa ay ii ahayd indho-fur weyn oo aan diyaar u ahay in aan bilaabo in aan talada ku dhaqmo.

Xukunka

Buugga Qabo Xakamaynta Qarsoonnimadaada Khadka Tooska^{(Take Control of your Online Privacy)} ah waxa uu bixiyaa waxbarasho lama huraan ah oo ku saabsan sirta khadka iyo dhaqamada amniga, oo leh macluumaad badan oo faa'iido leh si akhristuhu uu u qaado tallaabo wax ku ool ah. Qiimaha buugguna waa $10-12. Muxuu qof u doonayaa inuu waayo waayo-aragnimada waxbarasho ee tan oo kale ah?

Book Review - Take Control of your Online Privacy, by Joe Kissell

Here at Digital Citizen we take online privacy & security very seriously. Nowadays, it's a fact of life that one just can't be too careful, and the more information we have, the better. In this case, knowledge really is power. Thus, I was very interested by the title Take Control of your Online Privacy. Could this book tell me more than what I already had learned about online security and privacy? It's a fairly short e-book (118 pages) so would it pack in enough information to make it worth buying? Let me tell you what I've found out.

Getting off to a good start

The author, Joe Kissell, draws the reader in right from the get-go with a straightforward introduction to the book's purpose, followed by an equally straightforward challenge: Learn what you have to hide. As he points out, many of us may assume we have nothing to hide, but that just simply isn't so. Even the most innocent person has plenty to hide, and there are plenty of ways to keep snoopers out.

The book gets right down to business by explaining exactly what most people want to keep private (location, medical information, employment information and so forth) and from whom. Some of the data snoops are about what people expect (advertisers, in particular) and have relatively benign intentions (targeted ads). And, of course, the various search engines suck up data from us whether we realize it or not.

But there are others out there whose intentions are far from benign (hackers, malware creators, people from our own lives who may simply be far too nosy or actually wish us harm, etc.) and of course various government agencies world wide whose intentions we just don't know.

So, with all those people and agencies lusting after all the information they can get from us, is it possible to stay really private and really secure? The author is honest about it: No. But he then starts out to provide easy to understand ways in which most people can have as much privacy as is possible. I appreciated the honesty and the straightforward approach to stating the problem and giving the reader a path to a solution.

The plan and the strategy

The book goes on to explain in detail exactly what you need to do to take charge, starting with things that are easy to fix and moving on through more complex problems. Most of us use email and web browsers casually every day without much thought about how what we type and what we send might be seen and used by someone else, and the book explains how we can protect ourselves while engaged in these everyday activities. A lot of it is simple common sense, but common sense is a lot easier if you've got the right information on hand. How many everyday users know anything about DNS, for example? And yet making sure those settings are done right (or even using a DNS provider other than your own ISP) is one simple step towards privacy from your home network.

I suspect a lot of people don't know about VPNs (virtual private networks), and how easily they can be set up so that browsing from public places like coffee shops can be much more secure. The book also explains this in simple terms.

I especially liked the step-by-step approach to creating one's own personal privacy strategy. I'm sure I'm one of many people who never even considered doing something this basic and essential before. I'm doing it now!

And there is even a Pledge to take. It's written in a lighthearted manner, but the purpose is serious: Don't be ignorant, when getting educated is so easy in the information age, and don't be stupid, because it WILL come back to bite you.

Taking the right steps

The book is filled with opportunities to get an education. Most of us, and I'm including myself, don't think about these things from day to day. What device do you use for web access, social media and email? What would happen if it got stolen? A lot of us worry about documents and data, but do we stop to think that anyone who steals a laptop or smartphone then has access to our entire browsing history as well? They'll know what sites were visited and can see cached versions of the pages themselves. If you use your browser to store your passwords, think of the mischief that might be done.

The same could be said of your email accounts. Whether you use an email client (as I do) or just log into your web email directly, anyone who gets their hands on your computer or phone then has access to all your emails as well. Even if you've just been chit-chatting back and forth with friends, you don't really want some lowlife getting their hands on all your friends' email addresses, do you?

And then there are sites like Facebook, on which some people seem to be willing to vomit up every last detail of every last moment of their lives. If anyone thinks that stuff is in any way private, especially since Facebook seems to change everything on a whim every few weeks, they've just done the lowlifes' job for them.

There are also special issues involving children. Not only do young children need to be protected while using the internet, but information adults post about those children, no matter how innocently, needs to be fiercely protected as well.

Having brought up these issues, the author then walks the reader through solutions that range from the simple to the advanced, with clear explanations of what needs to be done, and why. I think most readers will find, as I did, that this is an eye-opener in itself. It's author has also created a great video that serves as an excellent introduction to the book. You can view it below:

Conclusions

This book is small but it's powerful. There is useful information on every page, written by someone who clearly knows what he's talking about. The book is well put together, with hyperlinks to other sections and links to outside sources as well. I can say without hesitation that it was a major eye-opener for me and I'm ready to start putting the advice into practice.

The Verdict

The book Take Control of your Online Privacy provides an essential education in online privacy and security practices, with plenty of useful information so the reader can take practical action. And the $10-12 price of the book is a bargain. Why would anyone want to miss out on an educational experience like this?
