Practical Paranoia

You don't need to be paranoid to know they are out to get your computer and your data:

• 2,000,000 laptops were stolen or lost in the US last year.

• Malware attacks on OS X have become commonplace.

• Dozens of eyes may be able to see your name and password, along with the contents of every email you send.

• Once the bad guy has his hands on your Macintosh, it takes under one minute to bypass your password to gain access to all your data.

• With a slight bit of social engineering, your iCloud account, along with all its data, is freely accessible.

• Through PRISM and other avenues, our government has access to your online browsing and email history.

You don't need to be an Apple Genius to protect your computer and your data!

In this easy step-by-step guide, CIO and Certified Apple Consultant Marc Mintz takes any OS X user with no technical skills through the process of fully encrypting and hardening the security of their computer, data, email, iCloud, browsing, and entire Internet experience.
