CHEYENNE, WY – With a concerted effort to thwart and dissuade hacking, viral attacks and other cyber crimes, iWantClips is sharing ‘best practices’ advice to ensure online safety and privacy for models and content producers.

“At a time when web-based crime is on the rise, we wanted to share some important safety and privacy tips for models and content producers who make a living on the Internet,” said iWantClips VP Jay Phillips. “We’ve built our brand on the content these models produce so we feel this care is necessary to help protect the safety of all models. As a member of the adult community, we encourage everyone to take a look at our blog and educate themselves on ways to stay safe from online threats and to protect their private information.”

The blog, titled “5 Online Safety Tips to Safeguard Your Model Identity and Privacy,” offers models important advice that when followed would reduce the potential for cyber crimes committed against them and help safeguard their privacy.

The blog shows things as innocuous as location-based advertising on sites such as Pandora, for instance, could reveal the neighborhood a model may live in. A customer on the other end of a model’s Skype session or phone chat could very well over hear a location based ad that reveals her particular neighborhood and put her safety and privacy in danger.

Those who use their personal phone number to enter in websites and apps may be better served by using Google Voice since it gives one number for all phones while masking the actual numbers.

Personal information may also be obtained through one’s IP address. Although the IP addresses alone can’t say much about the person, but, when paired with a user name, the IP address can reveal one’s identity. Besides not opening suspicious emails and using malware programs, you can take additional steps in protecting your privacy by hiding or masking the IP address. This can be done by using VPN software services or anonymous proxy servers.

“These tips will reduce the opportunity for cyber crimes to take place, and will go a long way in maintaining model privacy,” Phillips said. “Software can only do so much so in the end, information, being more aware of dangers and common sense are the best weapons to protect against online threats.”
