Guide To Computer Security (2022)
The original Guide to Computer Security was produced by the Newgon.com Support Team after consultation with the Newgon.com forum community in 2008. It explained how you could protect data stored on your hard drive and stay anonymous on the internet. The guide may be of interest to people who wish to protect their anonymity and data from adversaries. An updated version is currently under development.
Operating Systems
Windows 10
As of December 2021, Windows 10 is the world's most popular operating system. Although extremely convenient, it is widely considered to be a very poor choice for data security and privacy.
Multiple guides exist online describing how to reduce the risk posed by using Windows 10. However, it is inherently insecure and best avoided for anyone who is concerned about the leakage of sensitive information.
Windows 7
Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft; as such, known security issues are unlikely to be patched barring exceptional circumstances.
There are a number of concerns that may be of interest to the MAP community.
