BBT 9- Privacy On The Internet

           After reading the graphic novel, I realized its important to have strong passwords because people can hack into them easily and if you don't use the privacy settings your accounts and information can be seen by others. The best information that is best left offline is mostly personal stuff or information that hackers can use against you. You don't always have to share everything online, its best not to because you don't want people to see all your information about you. You can learn about your privacy settings and all the risks that come with it is online. Most of the mishaps that happen is because of people sharing their personal information online then people stealing it and using it for illegal stuff. Its important to lock your devices such as your cell phones and any other device that might have personal information on it. When choosing a password make sure to choose something that is something easy for you to remember but hard for someone to figure out. Its very important to choose different passwords for different sites because if someone figures out on password or one site, they might try to use it for another site and get into that one also. People can figure out where you live because if you 'check in' some place, it tells the internet where you are at that exact second. Also, people can put a tracker on you and follow you anywhere you go. Today, if i lost my phone I would be worried about people finding out information about my friends and about me. My phone has all the information I need in it, it has phone numbers and access to all my accounts. If someone to leave their phone on the bus, you could find out who they talked to, what they say about everyone, what sites the go on and any information they wanted to know about them.
