Big Brother is Watching You. How to Protect Yourself in the Digital World

In the era of total digitalization, it is hard to imagine life without the internet and smart devices. However, even people who are cautious in the real world often do not pay enough attention to their digital security. Meanwhile, the... consequences of such carelessness can be encountered at any moment: an attacker can take control of a car, a television can record viewers' conversations, criminals can kidnap children using toys, and one can connect to cameras to spy on their owners. There are also state projects like "Smart City," which imply the widespread installation of cameras and facial recognition technologies. This does not mean that one should strive for digital monasticism and panic over gadgets, but it is essential to learn and follow basic safety rules. Mikhail Rightman, in his book, explains how to minimize the likelihood of personal data leakage, complicating the task for potential attackers.
