51 Open Source Tools to Protect Your Identity

,----[ Quote ]
| Usually these lists of open source software 
| start with statistics or general observations 
| on current trends in the open source 
| community. This one starts with a personal 
| story.
| 
| I used to use a thumb drive to backup my 
| budget software, and I also kept a copy of our 
| tax returns on the same drive. While the files 
| were password protected, I didn't encrypt them 
| because the drive never left the house, and we 
| don't exactly live in a high crime area.

SWIFT - EU to grant USA nearly unlimited access to all EU banking data

,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs everything about SWIFT, a company that
| handles the bank transactions for thousands
| of bank, inluding most European banks.
| SWIFT is based in Belgium but has also a
| branch in the USA. Under the TFTP programme
| the US government forced the US branch
| (which mirrors all data based in Belgium)
| to allow government access to all these
| bank transactions in order to help anti-
| terrorism operations.
