This week I discuss the concept of creating online accounts tied to your identity before criminals do it for you, otherwise known as planting your flag. While some of my shows are targeted towards those who take privacy to the extreme, this show is relevant to everyone. While preparing for this show, I found myself exposed. Let's tighten our online security together.

Support for this show comes directly from sales of my books. More details can be found at https://inteltechniques.com/books.html.
