Advanced Privacy & Security Crash Course (Become Invisible)

Michael Bazzell | July 30-31



Overview

This course will teach you how to clean up your digital footprint and take privacy to the extreme. The instructor has spent that past five years investigating methods for disappearing from all known databases while maintaining a "normal" existence. He has also researched the best ways to protect your data, communications, and overall online presence. This presentation of successes (and failures) will help you establish your own strategy for disappearing from public view. Overall, this course will explain how to be invisible. You will make your communications private, internet connections anonymous, computers hardened, identity guarded, purchases secret, accounts secured, and home address hidden. You will legally create and strengthen aliases that will be used more often than your true identity. You will remove all personal details from public view and will reclaim your right to privacy. You will no longer give away your intimate details and you will remove yourself from the system. When taken to the extreme, you will be impossible to compromise.
