Staying Away from the Prying Eyes of Scammers and Spammers

Online scams have become a major issue with the use of stolen credentials being the most common reason for data breaches. How do they get your credentials? Through spam emails, phishing attempts, spyware, and other sneaky tools. The good news is there's something you can do to help protect yourself.

Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN has the tools to help thwart harmful malware and keep your sensitive data hidden online. A virtual private network (VPN) like PIA masks your online data with strong encryption making it unreadable even if someone were to intercept it. While most VPNs can't stop malware, PIA includes MACE, an all-in-one ad, malware, and tracker blocker.

MACE stops threats at DNS level before they can reach your device; it can even help you avoid websites known for hosting malicious software—that way you don't need to worry about scammers and spammers stealing your online information.

PIA has servers in 84 countries (and all 50 US states), so you can securely access your favorite streaming services, banking accounts, and more wherever you travel. All you need to do is choose a location, connect to a server, and your session is secure. No one can track your true location or online activity.

You can cover all of your devices at once too, one subscription to PIA gives you unlimited connections. The VPN has dedicated apps for all major operating systems including macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux. It even offers compatibility for routers, smart devices, and gaming consoles.

When you're trying to protect yourself against scammers the last thing you want is a spammy VPN that steals your information and shares it with third parties. Luckily you don't have to worry about that with PIA.

It has a court-tested No Logs policy, meaning it never collects information on what you do online. As further proof, PIA uses RAM-only servers that wipe all session data the minute the server reboots, so even if authorities did request information on how you use the VPN there's never any to hand over.

Scammers keep getting more inventive, and spam emails will be around for a while (approximately 3.4 billion are sent daily). That's why taking extra security precautions like protecting your online data with PIA VPN is so important.
