"Whether you're browsing the Internet, sending or receiving text messages, or chatting on your cell phone, information you may think is private very often is not." Says Wealth Preservation & Privacy Expert Mark Nestmann.

"That's why it's important to educate yourself on counter-surveillance strategies to reclaim your electronic privacy. And now, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has created its Surveillance Self-Defense project-an online how-to guide for protecting your private data against government spying. You can read about the project at http://ssd.eff.org."

"I view myself as fairly knowledgeable about electronic surveillance threats, but I learned a great deal I didn't know when I reviewed the guide. For instance, you probably have heard of "cookies"-those bits of code that record your use of a Web site and your user preferences. Modern Web browsers give you ability to discard cookies periodically or even every time you close the browser."
