ΟΡΙΣΜΟΣ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΙΚΩΝ ΔΕΔΟΜΕΝΩΝ (PERSONAL DATA DEFINITION):

Προσωπικά δεδομένα είναι , σύμφωνα με τον Νόμο 2472/1997 και την Οδηγία 95/46/ΕΚ κάθε πληροφορία που αναφέρεται στο πρόσωπό του κάθε ατόμου, π.χ. το όνομα και το επάγγελμά του ατόμου, η οικογενειακή του κατάσταση, η ηλικία του, ο τόπος κατοικίας, η φυλετική του προέλευση, τα πολιτικά του φρονήματα, η θρησκεία που πιστεύει, οι φιλοσοφικές του απόψεις, η συνδικαλιστική του δράση, η υγεία του, η ερωτική του ζωή και οι τυχόν ποινικές του διώξεις και καταδίκες.
Οι παρακάτω συμβουλές είναι γραμμένες στα Αγγλικά λόγω της απαραίτητης ορολογίας.

- Turn off file and print sharing in Windows

Turn off the option that lets others look at files and use a printer. To do so,
click the Windows ''Start'' button, go to ''Settings'' and select ''control
panel.'' In the control panel window, double-click the ''network'' icon. In the
network window, click on the ''file and print sharing'' button and uncheck the
two checkboxes in the new text box.

- Set up strong passwords and Virus Scan software

Make sure that passwords are at least eight characters and include lowercase and
capital letters, numbers and special characters such as $@! if allowed by the
operating system (e.g. "thisISa$goodpassword!" or even better "d8T$92Erk0" as
hackers also can use "word-banks" to construct passwords). Install software that
will scan the system for computer viruses that may be received when sharing
files with others. Update the virus scan software frequently.

- Consider a hardware firewall separate from the PC

Many hardware firewall solutions offered on the market today meet enterprise
needs. For consumers, many DSL modems and residential gateways will soon include
firewall functionality for protection.

- Install a software firewall to the PC

Many quality software firewall programs will effectively protect a PC from
hacker attack. Several of these programs are free and others charge a nominal
fee. For more information, review Gibson Research's Web site at
http://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 for information about commercial software
firewalls. The site also has a program that quickly checks the security of a
computer's connection to Internet. Four common programs are BlackIce Defender at
www.networkice.com, ZoneAlarm at www.zonelabs.com, Norton Internet 2000 at
www.symantec.com and VirusScan or Guard Dog at www.mcafee.com.

In addition, Windows (98 SE and newer ones) have a feature called "Internet
Connection Sharing" (ICS) which allows networked PCs in the home to hide behind
a central PC and use its IP address. Thus, with NAT potential hackers cannot see
networked devices behind the central PC. Also, shared services (file and print)
on the PC running ICS are not accessible from the Internet.

- Other options: encryption and VPN (Virtual Private Network)

For protected communication with others over the Internet, consider using
encryption software, which will securely encode data and decode it at the
receiving end. Also, many companies are beginning to use "Virtual Private
Networks," hardware and software solutions that enable corporate users to
establish secure tunnels between their homes and their corporate LANs -- perfect
for telecommuters.
