passwords and credentials even in the use of encryption software (Ruiz and Winter 2016) and
(Ruiz, Amatte and Park, Security Issue on Cloned TrueCrypt Containers and Backup Headers
2014 ).

In addition to being careful about credentials, it is essential that your company's users be
warned not to act like ostriches. Usually people are induced to navigate privately or incognito.
This type of functionality, besides not working as promised, causes the user to lower their guard
and expose themselves even more than normal. No matter what operating system or browser,
including TorBrowser, everything the user browses will be recorded on your computer (R. D.
Ruiz, FP Amatte, et al., Overconfidence: Personal Behaviors Regarding Privacy that Allows the
Leakage of Information in Private Browsing Mode 2015), (Ruiz, Amatte and Park, Making Public
Navigation the "InPrivate" 2012) (Ruiz, Amatte and Park 2014).

Humans can lose their lives in a few centimeters of water in the same way that thousands of
dollars can be lost due to basic security flaws allied to an overconfidence of developers.

Be safe. Ever!
