Five Most Serious Violations

            When a user surfs any website which is not in premises, it is known as illegal activities. The illegal activities over the internet have skyrocketed. It is the new way of making money for cyber attackers. In my opinion, the five most serious violations are:

Sharing passwords, Addresses, or Photos of Others

When you share your personal information with anyone on the internet, it is always risky. You never know that the person you sent your personal information is secure. Nowadays, it is hard to trust anyone when sharing the passwords or personal information. They could use your personal information for their financial gains.

Faking your identity online

To create a fake identity online and doing illegal activities are against the law. When a cyber attackers attack any system, they tend to have fake identities. Fake identities will help them to prevent their original identity and allow to do bad things.

Illegal searches on the internet

When a user visits a website that is not in premises, it is called as an illegal search. There are millions of illegal websites available on the google. When a website is available on the google that does not guarantee the website’s security and premises. A hacker may create a fake website to attract the customers to gain the access. 

Collecting information about people younger than 13

Gathering children information and using them in a wrong way, it is an illegal activity. There are many people out there, who are using children information to commit crimes or to create fake identities. It is illegal to use someone else’s information without their permission.

Using other people’s Internet networks

Nowadays, cyber attackers would want to use the different network locations and have their network locations jumping all over the globe. They are doing that, so it will be tough to trace back the hacker. They could use someone else’s network, do the bad activity, and leave the place.
