Privacy

Privacy is an important issue now that new media is around. More now than ever there are more websites that are useful that require people to log-in to use them. This is important as a key logger or virus on a computer could divulge everything that a person types into the computer making those accounts compromised. This also comes up with social networking as many people post a lot about their personal lives and do not have the correct security settings or do not have them at all. Some of these people may divulge when they are not going to be home at certain times which make that person very susceptible to being robbed when they are not home. Even more to the fact is that many people put their whole lives on these social media sites including what their phone number and other very private information that could be used against that person. Also many companies are having problems securing data that is used in everyday life. Many online banking and money exchanges like amazon payments or PayPal may not be secure enough which leads to people hacking into them and stealing money from people that did nothing wrong.
