Dear Editor,
Anti-government activists, politicians and businessmen should learn from the Peter Ramsaroop fiasco on where to store important and confidential information.
It is not safe to store certain information on your computer hard disks, CDs, DVDs or memory sticks any more as the state can use their resources such as the police to seize your hard disks as in the Peter Ramsaroop case.
I have got a bit wiser after a well planned attack and robbery at my office in July 2008, where all my backups and laptop were stolen. I am now storing all important information online. You can rent online facilities for a few dollars per year and store all your confidential information and do not have to worry about the police, thieves, floods or fires. You can even use your free Yahoo or Hotmail accounts to store valuable information without worrying about intruders if you take the necessary security precautions.
Long live the internet.
Yours faithfully,
Balwant Persaud
