Of course the wiretapping action can dismantle the privacy of the victims of wiretapping. However, there are some simple ways to protect your privacy as a gadget user so that your personal data is not stolen by others. Here’s the review.

Making a password to enter a social networking account or accessing your gadget is the easiest step to protect your personal data?
Have a gadget without a password, like leaving the car unlocked. Of course it will make your data prone to being stolen.
2. Don’t be lazy to sign-out
Taking steps to sign-out after doing activities on social networks or cyberspace has also proven effective to reduce the number of actions hacked into your account. This is very necessary for you to do especially if you use public facilities such as Warnet to conduct online activities.
3. Don’t give phone numbers / email addresses carelessly
Giving phone numbers and email addresses carelessly is also an action that you should avoid. This is to avoid scam or even hacking against your email address or cellphone.
4. Make encryption on the computer
Encrypting your computer means someone must have your password (or encryption key) to get access to your hard drive.
On a Mac, you only need to go to settings, select ‘Security and Privacy,’ go to ‘FileVault’, select the ‘Activate FileVault’ menu and your PC is encrypted. For a normal PC, you can use the BitLocker service.
5. Create multilevel steps to log-in your email
You can apply this multi-level security to better secure your e-mail account. The service provided by Gmail with the name 2-step Authentication can you apply easily.
6. Use cash
Limiting the use of a credit or debit card will also secure your bank account from money theft.
Use cash to pay for small things such as when buying snacks at a supermarket or even when buying fast food.
7. Change the privacy settings of your social network

For example on Facebook , you can immediately change this privacy level to ‘Friends Only’ from ‘Public’ to better know who will receive and access your posts.
