In today's digital age, maintaining anonymity can be challenging. Online breaches can occur, where data theft or exploitation happens. Therefore, ensuring firewall and cryptographic security is essential. Often, personal information is stolen through phishing attacks. Mitigation strategies can prevent such attacks. One must also be careful of impersonation and tampering, as identity fraud has become common online. To stay secure online, cipher technology must be used, which will protect data from decryption. To avoid surveillance, strong passwords and vulnerability reduction measures must be taken. Data dissemination must be done correctly to prevent manipulation or false information proliferation. One must be careful on digital platforms, as every step can lead to coercion or data misuse.
