In a past life there was a PCWorld print magazine, and I wrote a monthly column for it. The column was called "Privacy Watch" and it was all about tools and tips you could use to safeguard your PC against hackers and snoops. Every month I'd do my best to help readers with everything from building stronger passwords (or just adopting a good password manager) to securing their Wi-Fi network, and I had a blast doing it.
