Like a fingerprint left at the scene of a crime in a TV drama, your digital fingerprint can be used to track down who you are with 99.2% accuracy<\/a>, even when you switch browsers. As easily as a detective can say ‘enhance’, someone can follow your digital fingerprint to find an alarming amount of information about you. Are you concerned about the risks of digital fingerprinting yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, maybe not quite as easily. Those shows do make it seem ridiculously simple, don\u2019t they? All the same, you should at least wear a pair of gloves. I mean, use a proxy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, I took security measures <\/strong>after that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
