    Internet Users Security Risks

    Hello!, I'm a regular internet users. However, I'm afraid of these data loss, threats and loss of control and many other risks. I just think that this might happen in the photos I saved. How could my cloud storage data free from these dangers? What is really essential to every internet user? Any information about security & safety measures online will be most welcome!

    You cannot. The cloud makes you subject to someone else's server and storage.
    Does your cloud allow you to upload files that are already encrypted?


    There are many encryption programs for sale...
    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

      When you are using a cloud service you are handing your files over to someone you don't know. There are hackers all over the world trying to get into cloud services for no other reason then to say they did it.

      If you want to keep your data safe get an external hard drive. You should have at least one anyway for data backup. They are cheap. I think my wife buys me a new one every time she sees them on sale at Costco.
