With all that is a part being online and being a part of the virtual world of the internet, privacy is something that is vital. Vital in the sense that people do not want their personal lives tampered with, but have to trust technology with their most important pieces of information to their lives. Unfortunately, privacy is a decaying factor in being online due to people who are out to destroy others lives for personal gain. Whether it be something as harassment, false identification, or something as serious as identity theft and hacking into ones bank information, these crimes put a serious dent in what privacy is left to us online. Needless to say, there are installments and agencies that work with us to give us that extra edge of protection, but there are relentless amounts of dangers online that we should be aware of. We could think one second that everything is great and not be aware of our surroundings online and come across the wrong link or wrong person and give out information that they can work with to hack into our personal lives. We must be very careful because privacy is no longer a thing online as we once innocently thought.
