Individual Security in the Internet

You will have a terrible, horrible, or scared situation which is beyond description when you realize your information is hacked.

In fact, at least 21.5 million people hacked in 2015. This is not a story for other people, you also can be one of them. The hacked information are various: Credit cards, SNS accounts, Social security numbers, or others.

Yes, I was one of them. My credit card information was hacked one month ago. Even though I could prevent a loss of money since I found the hacking when the money was pending, but, if I was little more late, I would loss about 400 dollars. The hacker spent the money immediately when I deposited the money. The banker recommended for the solution that the only one is replacing the card.

According to Intel security, currently, the estimated losses reached 200 billion dollars in G 20 countries. Then, they defined the hacking as the cannibalism.

The cannibalism means that after all, the result is not productive, then, it is focused on the economic degradation. Through the incidents, it would make the result as the decreasing of GDP.

Let’s move the stage to the private information. Occasionally, we can see the hacking incidents of celebrities. Perhaps, you can think easily some of celebrities who had suffered.

What is the private information? It is the information what people want to keep it themselves. However, sometimes, the information can be exposed, then, the information can makes lots of effects. The primary effect is that those information can be tags like the digital footprint, the in-erasable personal histories in the Internet. Then, it will become a mockery to other people. According to the NewYork daily, only in 2015, over 600,000 personal Facebook accounts were hacked. It means that at least 600,000 people would have possibilities to be blamed or mocked due to the closed, but, exposed information.

Just remember, this is not the stories for other people except you.

This can be your stories!
