Online, You're Being Watched At All Times; Act Accordingly.

Posted by timothy on Sunday February 9, 2014 @11:52AM from the so-act-suspicious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kaspersky Lab's Internet security expert Costin Raiu discusses internet surveillance claims that you should assume that you're being watched at all times. The article reports that Raiu conducts his online activities under the assumption that his movements are being monitored by government hackers. Raiu: 'I operate under the principle that my computer is owned by at least three governments' ... 'this is not meant as a scare tactic, but a rather as a statement of fact that should now be the default setting for everyone.'"

  The problem is that it isn't a BETA. It isn't even ALPHA. It is simply CRAPOLA.

VPN services by neo8750 · 2014-02-09 13:42 · Score: 1, Offtopic

So is there someone/place out there that runs checks on the VPN providers to be sure they arent just a honeypot ? If so where would one find such a place?
