Although the Internet has helped society progress in ways that were unimaginable before, it has also helped criminals find new ways to exploit innocent victims. Crimes like identity theft, online banking fraud, and cyber-blackmail put a new spin on age-old wrong-doings.
When it comes to privacy, there are tons of people online trying to take it away from you. Let’s make one fact very clear–privacy is extremely hard to protect online. If you don’t want something to be known, don’t put it online at all. Let’s say that again: DON’T PUT IT ONLINE AT ALL.
Some people think that posting photo albums, happy thoughts about their new puppy, and negative comments about their boss or neighbor are somehow private only for them to view. Wrong. As soon as it hits the Internet, humans, bots, and spiders alike will be reading and scanning your content, perhaps using it for less-than-noble intentions.
