आपकी जासूसी या पीछा किया जा रहा है तो क्या करें?

कोई भी जासूस आपकी निगरानी के लिए पहले से किसी स्थान की योजना तभी बना सकेगा, जब उसे आपका शेड्यूल मालूम हो। इसलिए अपना शेड्यूल हमेशा गोपनीय रखें। आप ‘सिग्नल‘ और ‘प्रोटॉनमेल‘ जैसे एन्क्रिप्टेड संचार प्लेटफॉर्म का उपयोग करें। अपने डिजिटल पासवर्ड पर दो-चरण प्रमाणीकरण का उपयोग करें। यदि आप डिजिटल सुरक्षा रखेंगे, तो किसी जासूस के पास आपके संचार और शेड्यूल की जानकारी नहीं होगी। तब वह पहले से कोई योजना नहीं बना सकेगा। ऐसे में वह सिर्फ आपकी शारीरिक गतिविधियों और परिवहन के अनुसार पीछा करने को मजबूर हैं।
