Privacy and security




 Privacy is a real concern for most internet uses because personal pictures or information could be made accessible to others. Whether its a picture on Facebook ,a profile on a web page , or a single information on a chatting website ,other people can gather all this information doing a google search and combining all the available information together ,and probably use it against you.There is even a possibility of getting your full address and phone number if they know your full name .I think this is very dangerous because crimes can happen this way.Actually, i don't understand why if you have a home phone the phone company allows this information for others to look up online .Also , hackers always hack emails to look for some important information . The article "WHY CAN'T THE PERSISTENT HACKING OF YAHOO MAIL BE STOPPED?" discusses the issue of hacking a yahoo email account. The article shows that hacking a yahoo email is possible and that hackers can get the information without you even knowing they hacked your account, since they can return everything as it was .

  1. I don't like that people are able to hack accounts on the internet because sometimes they can get intosome important files and steal information not good at all

  2. I think we must be careful about storing any vial information on the Internet because of the potential for this information to be hacked by people with insidious motives.
