Michael Bazzell has helped hundreds of celebrities, billionaires, and everyday citizens completely disappear from public view. He is now known in Hollywood as the guy that “fixes” things. His previous books about privacy were mostly REACTIVE and he focused on ways to hide information, clean up an online presence, and sanitize public records to avoid unwanted exposure. This textbook is PROACTIVE. It is about starting over. It is the complete guide that he would give to any new client in an extreme situation. It leaves nothing out, and provides explicit details of every step he takes to make someone completely disappear, including document templates and a chronological order of events. The information shared in this volume is based on real experiences with his actual clients, and is unlike any content ever released in his other books.

Michael Bazzell investigated computer crimes on behalf of the government for over 20 years. During the majority of that time, he was assigned to the FBI’s Cyber Crimes Task Force where he focused on various online investigations and open source intelligence (OSINT) collection. As an investigator and sworn federal officer through the U.S. Marshals Service, he was involved in numerous major criminal investigations including online child solicitation, child abduction, kidnapping, cold-case homicide, terrorist threats, and advanced computer intrusions. He has trained thousands of individuals in the use of his investigative techniques and privacy control strategies.

After leaving government work, he served as the technical advisor for the first season of the television hacker drama Mr. Robot. His books Open Source Intelligence Techniques and Extreme Privacy are used by several government agencies as training manuals for intelligence gathering and privacy hardening. He now hosts the weekly Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show, and assists individual clients in achieving ultimate privacy, both proactively and as a response to an undesired situation. Details about his company’s services can be found online at IntelTechniques.com.

A Must-Have Privacy Resourse

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

Even if you don't go *all* the way down the rabbit hole, there are steps even privacy beginners can easily implement. No matter what, if you have any interest in the subject, this book is worth having in your library. Some of the solutions will require quite a bit of work, but if they are what you need, they are what you need. And remember, privacy isn't one-and-done, it is an ongoing mission. MB frequently updates changed information via his podcast/blog so there is a type of ongoing support.

One con: I don't care for the big, floppy book format as I find it hard to read away from a table. I am gong to cut off the binding, have it 3-hole punched, and put it in a binder.

Good luck on your privacy journey.

I have to read this a little at a time. If you can do everything in this book, you will have no digital footprint at all. It is about a complete change in lifestyle. Very good book.

Useful knowledge

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2022

Covers many aspects of privacy on the modern world. You don't need to read the whole book, just go to the chapters of interest you . This book is not for bed reading, it's the size of an old phone book, but that's how much information is packed in it.

Who is the book for? I would say everyone. There are a million reasons why privacy is important, you don't need to be a journalist or activist to need privacy. Your environment could change at any minute requiring you to know a few techniques that will ensure you are not tracked or followed by any kind of bad actor.

If you don't care to have big tech, or any other nosy entity snooping through every aspect of your life this is the book to have. Complete privacy is probably impossible, but you can obtain a certain measure and these are the best instructions I've found.

Michael Bazzel has done it again with his latest installment of his privacy books. He can walk even someone who can barely use a smartphone through how to harden up their privacy in all aspects of their life. If you really want to learn from the best, this is the book to buy.

Well worth the money

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

Surely it is not a cheap book.
But how much are you willing to pay for your privacy / security? (Or the loss of it.)
Especially at this day and age, when the Bolsheviks are barging into former U.S. President's estate (!) to sniff through his wife's panties Tony Soprano mob-style?
Buy it TODAY. Thank Mr. Bazzell TOMORROW.

Great book and worth a read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

Great book, interesting to get another perspective of this area. If you work in IT it’s worth a look for when you need to help a friend get out of a problem.

I’ve also got other books from the author and they have never failed to deliver on useful content.

The Best Book on Privacy!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you are looking to improve your privacy, this is an all encompassing guide on how you can achieve that.

From your electronic devices, to navigating the legal framework & holding assets in trusts & other corporate structures.

This book will give you the knowledge you need to take your privacy journey as far as you're comfortable going, & I would consider it a must read in our age of surveillance.

My only criticism is that is is very focused on the American audience, & the laws & corporate options in other countries will vary greatly. However this does not make the laws useless. One example is Nomad Residency, while you'll have more options in America, this can serve to open your mind & give you idea about how you can adapt the methods in this book to be applicable in your situation.

From the point of digital surveillance, that is fairly universal wherever you are in the world & you will still receive a great benefit from the tools & strategies presented here.

Overall, I highly recommend this book, if you are just getting into privacy I would advise looking at other resources first, maybe on YouTube or through the authors podcast, dip your toes into the water first, but one you're ready to take things to an extreme (as the titled suggests), this book or its most recent edition will be the most useful resource you can get your hands on. 10/10!

Excellent, but mostly useless outside of USA

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on January 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Now, the book itself is excellent. The knowledge and situations are up to date, the author is relatable and the solutions are described in detail, yet not overwhelming.
HOWEVER! Three quarters of the content will only work in the USA. Which is, to be fair, often repeated by the author himself. Hence one star off, as warning. One quarter of the content can be applied right away and does make a big impact immediately, regardless of location. The rest...well, best case scenario you get a Useful Idea, and it is up to you to see if it is even possible where you live. In Germany, I can tell, 3/4 of solutions are simply impossible. This is a Country that does not accept its own driving licences as ID, so yeah, good luck finding grey zones for anonymity.
The main outcome of the book has been to make me deeply angry: it brought to my attention how much has been taken away in just one decade and how much is the trend accelerating. Also, it got me banned from an online shop after I strengthened my anonymity, ahah.
Definitely buy the book.

Good detailled book

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 31, 2023

Verified Purchase

Good detailed book. Useful if you're high profile however I, as an average citizen with more care about privacy, did not need a lot of the things talked about in this book since either I already knew about something or a method was too extreme for me (yes I know the book is about extreme privacy) so I think for the average Jim, free resources are will suffice.
