There are some photos you want to keep private. You know which photos we are talking about. But as we have seen from time to time in the news, they often leak to Internet photos that shouldn't be leaked.
As the readers of iGuRu.gr know, you cannot trust any security application, any device that promises privacy and of course you should never trust the human factor. The internet is not safe, or THERE IS NO SECURITY ON THE INTERNET!
Below we will describe 5 ways to protect your photos, so you do not see them running freely on the Internet.
The best way, of course, and the safest way, is to have no such pictures in digital or analogue form. But to read this publication, there will be a reason, so let's move on.
Beware of the former
Do you remember these photos you took in a passionate encounter? Now that you have separated, what is it? If your former companion does not get it well there is always the chance to see your very personal photos in a shared internet view. This is why revenge porn.
Μπορείτε φυσικά να του/της ζητήσετε να τις αφαιρέσει, αλλά δεν είναι σίγουρο ότι θα το κάνει. Ευτυχώς η Google επιτρέπει την υποβολή αιτημάτων για την κατάργηση links που περιέχουν "revenge porn". Ας μην ξεχνάμε και την team of the Prosecution of Electronic Crime.
Beware of synched Photo Stream
Apple and Android use methods that allow you to sync your photo library to multiple devices like your phone, tablet, desktop, notebook PC, etc.
You take a photo from a device and it will be directly played on other devices through the cloud.
What could possibly go wrong? Yes you guessed correctly. A personal photo could come up with the computer you have in your living room, usually used by the whole family.
Beware of Screenshots from Snapchat
Η εφαρμογή Snapchat είναι ένα πρόγραμμα που σας επιτρέπει να στέλνετε πονηρές φωτογραφίες στους φίλους σας. Οι αρχάριοι του Snapchat πιστεύουν ότι είναι ασφαλές γιατί οι φωτογραφίες "αυτοκαταστρέφονται" μετά από ένα καθορισμένο χρονικό διάστημα.
The photo may remain forever when the recipient takes a picture before it is destroyed. The screenshot of their phone can store a copy of the photo.
Beware of lost or stolen mobile
If your phone is lost or stolen, you might want to have a good password or a feature that allows you to delete it or lock it remotely.
Before you start the wishes, lock your device now.
Some smartphone operating systems such as iOS allow a phone to automatically Clear data if someone uses the wrong code more than 10 times. They also allow remote locking as well as remote data wipe.
Privacy Tools
Υπάρχουν διάφορα εργαλεία που υπόσχονται να προστατέψουν την ιδιωτικής σας ζωή και είναι διαθέσιμα στα App Stores. Μερικά από αυτά σας επιτρέπουν να δημιουργήσετε ένα "κρυφό" φάκελο όπου μπορείτε να αποθηκεύσετε όλες τις πονηρές φωτογραφίες σας, αφαιρώντας τις ουσιαστικά από το camera roll.
The question is you trusting the developer? The hidden envelope that promises is indeed hidden?
In addition to all of the above, there is always the risk of being phishing by giving yourself the hacker the password of your device. There is always the risk of not logging out of your account on a PC that many use.
