For my spring Cyber Security class, I selected privacy for my final presentation. This is a short version of Internet privacy issues and solutions.

1. Internet Privacy
Are your privates, private?

2. Current Threats
- Social engineering is #1 threat. Digital con artists that use human nature to steal or extort.
- Baiting - digital bullying; scareware - uses fear tactics; Phishing - emails
- Webcam Hacking - business and personal
- Unpatched software - Operating system to apps
- Browsers: add-on extensions can track and report activity
- Ad-tracking and social media - FB, Twitter, LI - companies are selling your information
- Malware - virus, worm, ransomware ((recent East Coast pipeline)
- Governments, domestic and foreign - China, Russia, Iran, N Korea - more business risk
- 5G, AI, smart homes, drones, IoT - Up and coming

3. Protect Yourself
- Shared information - I found pictures, addresses, even Amazon wish list for classmates
- Standardize software - OS, browsers, plug-ins - especially for business
- Update and patch current software, apps, anti-malware
- Clear browsing history, cookies, clipboard data, shut off devices when not used
- Use network and desktop protection - firewall, intrusion detection or prevention systems (IDS, IPS)
-Educate yourself, co-workers, family or employees on cyber security risks
- Public VPNs or hotspots are not always secure - use caution - data is easy to capture

4. Future of Privacy
- More data, more users, more complex
- FIDO alliance: Appl, Google, FB, MSFT, PayPal, Lenovo - mission to reduce reliance on passwords with:
- Security keys - a small, physical device that fits on a keychain
- Biometrics - finger prints, facial recognition
- Verify camera, microphone use via explicit request, screen alert with green and orange dots
- Limit photo and location access - specific location kept private
- Limit WiFi tracking - MAC address changes by network
- Limit app tracking
