WiFi's Dirty Little Secret -- You're Not Safe!; Protect Your Identity and Your Data When Using a WiFi 'Hotspot' -- StealthSurfer II Makes Wireless Surfing Safe and Worry-Free
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Dec. 6, 2005 -- Stealth Ideas Inc. (www.stealthsurfer.com), a portable privacy software company, today announced that its recently unveiled StealthSurfer II device will now allow for 100 percent secure and encrypted wireless Web browsing. StealthSurfer II is a thumb-sized flash storage drive which allows consumers to surf the Web with anonymity from any computer -- even over a wireless connection. StealthSurfer II's integrated privacy features keep surfers safe from identity theft as well as from phishing and pharming spam attacks. Ideal for frequent coffee shop surfers, airport travelers, Internet cafe-goers or anyone who uses their laptop wirelessly in a public "hotspot," the StealthSurfer is the most robust and complete privacy and identity protection tool on the market.
The Risk
Wireless networks in public areas or "hotspots" (like Internet cafes) often do not provide adequate security. A recent polling revealed that most public and private WiFi networks used no encryption at all. Moreover, even when the host does have the proper security settings enabled, consumers still leave themselves at risk to knowledgeable hackers or wardrivers (those who use easy-to-obtain "sniffing" software to find unprotected networks). Once penetrated, an experienced attacker could implant malicious programs, including spyware, adware or Trojan horse applications, directly onto a computer.
The Solution
With StealthSurfer II, wireless Internet access is totally safe and secure. By using the device's customized FireFox browser and integrated IP masking, an encrypted tunnel is created between the surfer's laptop and the receiving Web site. This encrypted data stream cannot be read by anyone but the host computer. Any data packets intercepted would appear as illegible data garbage rendering the attack useless. All user data (such as confidential credit card and social security numbers) remains protected and secure.
Tiny enough to carry on a keychain, the USB 2.0 flash drive plugs into the USB port of a computer and allows users to surf the Web with total privacy. The device is available in memory configurations of 128 megabytes to one gigabyte at pricing starting at $89. Small, sleek and versatile, StealthSurfer II offers the very best in portability, privacy and identity theft protection.
Comprehensive Privacy Solution -- All Integrated under One Hood
StealthSurfer II is loaded with a host of privacy-protection tools that are seamlessly integrated into one tiny and portable keychain device. With all these tools "under one hood," users can not only protect their laptop or personal computer, but can now take this virtual "armor" with them wherever they go -- even when traveling or using public computers. The full suite of protection includes: -0- *T FireFox (high-speed browser with enhanced security) Anonymizer Anonymous Surfing (complete IP masking) RoboForm (one-click form-fill and user ID/password management application) Thunderbird (portable e-mail access) *T
