Many people wrongly assume the activities they perform on a computer and on the internet are private and anonymous, but your identity is not completely secret, even online. If you are suspected of committing a crime on the computer or on the internet, the police may seize the hard drive on your computer to find evidence against you. Do not be fooled into thinking that deleting items from your hard drive will protect you. Police investigators can and will uncover previously deleted material from your system. They can also subpoena the records from your internet provider to determine your identity.
