Privacy Issues

Think of an act, other than those already discussed in this module, that would constitute a violation in computing. Explain.

One example of a violation of privacy is when a computer system connected to the internet is hacked, and the files in that system (photos, for example) are copied and published in the world wide web.

In today's world, we can share a lot of information about ourselves through the internet. Take this blog for example. Through sites like this, we can share a whole lot of different things. But the thing is, when we post articles and pictures in our blogs and personal web pages, or any web page for that matter, it is because we choose to post this particular set of write-ups and photos.

When people who have expert knowledge on computer systems and networks use their technical know-how to hack into our system - viewing our documents, photos, videos, and others data in the computer's memory - our privacy is violated. And it just gets even worse when these hackers publish what they got from our computers.
