“The Wrong Way to Use the Web”

After reading Andriy Slynchuk’s thoughts on internet activities that may be illegal, I think the five most serious violations are sharing passwords, addresses, or photos of others; faking your identity online; using other people’s internet connections; bullying; and trolling and using torrent services. Although all eleven things are illegal, I think those five are the most serious. Sharing passwords, addresses, or photos can lead to possible identity theft. No matter how close you are with a person and how much you trust them, you should never give a person that much access to your personal information. If a person is willing to fake their identity, that clarifies that you cannot trust them. If you have to lie about who you are to gain information, that means you are up to something. This crime can lead to someone taking money or sensitive information from you, all because people thought you were someone else. Using other people’s internet is a huge no-no. This is something that a cybersecurity analyst should know. It is vital not to connect to an outside connection while handling sensitive information. This can lead to someone joining that connection and collecting all of your personal and sensitive information. In conclusion, anything you do in the dark will eventually come to light; it is best to use the internet as a helpful tool rather than one that can harm others.
