21.2. Identity Control
Keeping confidential data safe is an important issue that bothers us all. Data theft
has kept pace with the development of Internet communications and it makes use
of new methods of fooling people into giving away private information.
Whether it is your e-mail or your credit card number, when they fall into the wrong
hands such information may cause you damage: you may find yourself drowning
in spam messages or you might be surprised to access an emptied account.
Identity Control protects you against the theft of sensitive data when you are online.
Based on the rules you create, Identity Control scans the web, e-mail and instant
messaging traffic leaving your computer for specific character strings (for example,
your credit card number). If there is a match, the respective web page, e-mail or
instant message is blocked.
