Summary


In this chapter, I discussed privacy issues and protecting your personal information on both wired and wireless networks. The topics I covered include:

  • Why you should be concerned about your privacy

  • Threats to Wi-Fi privacy, including location-based services

  • Privacy threats from adware and spyware

  • Importance of understanding privacy policies

  • Vulnerable non-Wi-Fi devices, including X10 devices, cordless phones, and wireless cameras

As with any technology, as long as we are vigilant and stay informed of the related threats to our privacy, we can take the proper steps to protect our personal information from fraud and abuse.
