Information and Anonymity (Part 2)
When your work does not need any link to the internet or office network, you can try disconnecting it by disabling the network card or through some other means. Any Trojans or viruses that aim to steal information cannot defeat hardware constraints such as a pulled network cable. When using remote terminals or accessing the office/home network from a remote location, say the coffee shop, try to maintain the utmost secrecy of all usernames and passwords to prevent identity theft. Install appropriate security software which prevents information from being intercepted and used. Proper security software renders information that is intercepted useless with encryption that is now common among many devices.
