Cybersecurity has been very important throughout the time that computers and servers have been around. Especially in recent years, it has grown to be even more important. Every device that you own that\u2019s hooked up to the internet could be hacked into or messed with. Because of this, I think learning how to protect myself and others online is very important. You don\u2019t want people to take your personal information and use it in malicious ways. By learning about cybersecurity at ODU, I hope to get a better understanding of how to protect myself and others from these attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cybersecurity can help out in a lot of different ways. One example could be helping out social media companies, because these companies, in one way or another, can control someone\u2019s life, if they wanted to. For example, these social media platforms hold a lot of information about people. These companies must have good security or else these people\u2019s information can get leaked, and their profiles could be changed. These hackers could use these people&#8217;s profiles to make that person out to be a terrible human being, or use their profiles to get into their other accounts. If the said hacker gets someone\u2019s Facebook profile password, it is likely that they are using the same password for other things too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My major can help out a lot of people who spend their time gaming, too. I have experienced a lot of people getting their information leaked, including some of my close friends. They have been DDoSed, Doxxed, and even swatted once too, but swatting is very rare. Usually, people online get doxxed or swatted because it is the easiest, and most of the time no one gets caught doing it. If they had been using a type of software that prevented that kind of thing, they might have been safe from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does your major relate to cybersecurity technology?
