My presentation with Roland Grefer at the 2004 ATA Conference. Internet privacy for the home and small office is of vital importance to all translators. Many of us work with sensitive and confidential texts, and we need to be aware of the risks involved with the tools we use to communicate with clients and colleagues. There are so many ways that our privacy can be violated–from viruses and spam to breaches in our home and office networks. With our help, you should be able to render your computer, company workstation, home network, or small business network “hack-resistant.”

- 26. If you think you do not need to worry about Internet privacy, do a quick search for your name (and its various forms) on Google. We think you will be surprised what you find. Just to play things safe, you might also want to search for your social security number, credit card numbers, and bank account numbers online.
Editor's Notes
- Internet privacy for the home and small office is of vital importance to all translators. Many of us work with sensitive and confidential texts, and we need to be aware of the risks involved with the tools we use to communicate with clients and colleagues. There are so many ways that our privacy can be violated–from viruses and spam to breaches in our home and office networks. With our help, you should be able to render your computer, company workstation, home network, or small business network “hack-resistant.” By "hack-resistant," we do not mean making your system impenetrable, because nothing can do that. However, if you are aware of the risks you will be able to use common sense and layers of protection, also known as defense-in-depth, to make compromising your system more trouble than its worth.
