The Internet has become an essential resource for all of us. We rely on the Internet to send or receive emails, post or share photos and messages on social networking sites, shop for clothes, search for information, etc. Free public WiFi hotspots have also made it increasingly convenient for us to connect to the Internet when we are away from home. Unfortunately, some of us are too casual and careless with how we manage our personal information and activities online. This leaves us vulnerable to identity theft and invasion of our privacy. As you visit a website, login to your email, post an update on Facebook, or do any other activity online, you inevitably leave digital footprints that can be tracked and traced back to your identity. |
