                Do you think that people treasure their physical property more than their personal data in the online space? Propose a strategy that aims to make users more protective of their cyber privacy and aware of possible data breaches and violations. 

    I feel as if people care more about their personal data than physical property because of the simple fact that people are more sensitive about privacy. Personal data in the online space is a topic that is discussed heavily in modern society. Society as a whole are very concerned on how they can control their personal data and very touchy on who can see it. We have the one side where people are highly protective over their data and don’t want any interference with it, they proactively fight to control their own data to prevent any hacking or viruses .The other side is people who want their data protected but don’t know how to do it themselves. So my strategy to help both of those sides is to have a survey that gives them benefits , the surveys are disguised as privacy and protection of their info. The surveys would ask questions on if they are happy with how their privacy is being protected and if they answer no,it would be a feedback nox for them to answer in. This strategy is beneficial to both parties because I collect info on how and what way they want their data protected. Then by the user having feedback it can prevent their data from being breached and my survey would offer benefits if they complete it. Users would be more aware of data breaches by having a two-step identification. It would be something along the lines of “confirm you are this user by answering a question” , the question would be picked by that user and only they should know the answer. I would do my best to ensure the user is informed on the bases of their privacy and possible dangers of data breaching.
