UK: Activist hacks into abortion clinic’s website and threatens to release ‘database of contacts’DAILY MAIL, PUBLISHED: 00:22 GMT, 9 March 2012 | UPDATED: 03:36 GMT, 9 March 2012 An activist claims to have hacked into the website of Britain’s largest abortion clinic [BPAS]. He claims to have the ‘entire database and contact details’ of women who had contacted the British Pregnancy Advisory Service and warned that information would be released today. …

  4. “Around 26,000 attempts to break into our website were made over a six hour period, but the hacker was unable to access any medical or personal information regarding women who had received treatment at bpas. 'The website does store details (names, addresses and phone numbers) of people who have requested information from bpas via the website, including those making personal inquiries as well as health and education professionals, the media and students.” Ann Furedi

  9. ENCRYPTION Encrypting your information is a bit like keeping it in a locked safe. Only those who have a key or know the lock's combination (an encryption key or password, in this case) can access it. Software: TrueCrypt, FreeOTFE, The FREE CompuSec, Steganos LockNote Note: Please bear in mind that the use of encryption is illegal in some countries (Russia, China, Myanmar etc)

  10. KEEPING YOUR ONLINE COMMUNICATION PRIVATE All Web addresses normally begin with the letters HTTP, as can be seen in the example below: E.g. Yahoo, Hotmail When you are visiting a secure website, its address will begin with HTTPS. E.g. Gmail, RiseUP

  11. HOW TO DESTROY SENSITIVE INFORMATION Eraser is a free and open-source secure deletion tool that is extremely easy to use. You can wipe files with Eraser in three different ways: by selecting a single file, by selcting the contents of the Recycle Bin, or by wiping all unallocated space on the drive.
