There is no more privacy online?

Khairul Irsyad Bin Ab. Gani (A119398)


I agree that there is no more privacy online because of some reason.

Firstly, there are software’s that can be use for spying on user’s online activity.
The examples are malware, adware and spyware which will be installed illegally on internet user’s computer when they browsed on some web pages. The third party that sends the software can get full access to the infected computer and they will get the entire user’s personal information and they will face problem of losing personal information include account pin-number, mail password, and lots more.

Secondly, there are just a few law to prevent the cyber crimes. Lack of proper enforcement on related law can put internet user’s privacy in jeopardise because the irresponsible person such as hacker, the identity thief and other internet crook can take advantage to the internet user’s and manipulates their personal information to make any crime in the cyber world. As the result, there will be no charge for these crooks and the innocent person will be blame for the crime that they don’t commit.

Lastly, lack of safety measures shows that the internet users are vulnerable to various threats such as ‘phishing’. It’s a term used to explain a process where criminals create fake websites to get user's personal information. They may misuse the information, for example stealing money from bank accounts.

In conclusion, there’s no more privacy online due to the various problems existing. Proper security methods should be taken by users to protect their online privacy.

no more privacy online??

I agree that there is no more privacy online because of several reasons.


Firstly, the security of the information. The private information can be stealing by other user such as the producer of the web. For example, the myspace website. The producer can read all the subscriber information and if they have bad wish, they can spread the subscriber information to the public. It also known as hacker.


Secondly, lack of law for the content in the website. Nowadays, the internet crimes cannot be preventing. The crimes occur continuously and that makes the user not in the safe condition to subscribe any website. For example, if the user has been cheat in the website, there are no laws that cover them and help them to find the truth.


The third reason is the identity thief problems. Some time the user using the fake identity and try to cheat people. For example, loving couple who fall in love in the chatting room. They start to believe each other then start to share personal things such account number, phone number and address. If the identity thief has all this things, they will leave their loving partner. So that, they become one of the victim of this problem.


In the nutshell, I strongly agree that there is no more privacy online because of the security of the information, lack of law for the content in the website and the identity thief problems.

Onlie privacy

While web technology has been developing rapidly, online privacy still remains a hot issue unsolved. I agree with most of the groups that there is no more online privacy.

First and foremost, no everything is private online. Even though personal details have been shared with terms and condition and privacy control is provided in some websites, user’s information is not fully protected. Web applications are built by service providers who have the full access to information of users subscribed. Hence, even a seemingly trustworthy company may have bad internal practices and reveal user’s information to third parties for certain purposes.

Lack of proper law enforcement to protect user’s online privacy is another reason. Everyday, online users are exposed to threats and risks that their personal information might get stolen. Cookies have been created by certain websites to track user’s online behaviour and share with other companies to gain benefit. There is no strict rules and regulation in the virtual world to ensure online security and user’s rights are protected from misuse of Internet.

Moreover, unethical incidents happen online all the time. Phishing websites trick users to enter bank account information without letting users realize that it is a scam. Hackers with advance IT knowledge access to systems illegally to steal information that is confidential . It is hard for online users to avoid incidents to happen as they are out of the user's control.

In short, online users have to learn to be smart while surfing the net. Precautions have to be taken to protect our online privacy in the virtual world.

We can see this situation on social networking website. When we save our information on this website other user can know our information. Although we can save our information as a private but it not covers for all function. There still have function that not set as private. Its show that its have lack of safety online.

Our private information can be hacker is the second reason. Hacker is done by person who has no responsibilities. He or she will access our private information without our permission. They will hacker to get our private information such as our account number or password. Then they use our information for their advantage.

The last but not least is lack of control in information flow. By using internet people can send any information without limited. They can send any information such as comment or article. Even the article or comment tell something badness or not true but it still can be posted. Sometimes there are several article teach users something not good that can give badly infect to the user. This proves there is lack of control in information flow in internet.

For the conclusion, I agree that is no more privacy online because there is lack of safety online, our private information can be hacker and lack of control in information flow.

PRIVACY ONLINE

Name : Noraliza Binti Aliman

Matric Number : A 120563

I totally agree that there is no more privacy online.

The first and most importance reason are concerning the hacker problem. Nowadays, everything in the internet including websites, portal and many more can be hack by hacker. Hacker can be given definition as an irresponsible person or group that intrude a websites or portals to gather information and misused it illegally. For example, hackers can hack by guessing a user password using a kind of software or application.

Secondly, privacy is also violated when there are people who are spying on our online activities. This can be done by using software such as malware and spyware. Once this software has infected our Pc, the person who sent this software can track all our online activities. For example, he can know the password we used to logging in because of the spyware will automatically show the same page and what we have type to whom that have sent the software at the first place.

And the third reason is because of the lack information flow control online. These can lead to the spreading of our private information without even our noticing. For instance, we cannot control how far the trustworthy company may used our private information once we have trusted our information to them.

As conclusion there is no more privacy online because of the problem concerning hacker, people can spy on our online activities and also because of the lack information flow control online.

I disagree no privacy online.

I disagree that there is no more privacy online because there are many way that we can have our privacy while online.

The first reason is we can install software to prevent other people from spying our online activity. For examples are antivirus, anti-malware and anti-spy software. That software can detect virus, malware or spyware from installed to our computer. So, other people cannot spy on user online activities or steal user password and user name.

The second reason is we can notice a fake websites by ourselves. Usually people log in to a same website every day. When the website changed, we may know it just by looking at the website interface of the original website and fake one. Many tips were publishing in the internet to help recognize fake website. When we can notice the fake web site and the original one, we can safe our personal information from being used without our permission to commit fraud or other crimes.

Besides that, we can set our information to be private such as Friendster website. Not all of the information will be protected under private function because those website are making for people to search friend. If we don’t want the information can be seen by others, don’t sign up for the website

In conclusion, there is a privacy online if we careful when online like install certain software, study about the website that we use and make a choice to let other people see our information or not.

do you that there is no privacy online?

I agree that there is no more privacy online because of several reason.

The first reason is everything nowadays possible to be hack. Trying to intrude any user account or webpage become easier. More high technology, more people with non ethical intrude and do many bad things. For example, people can hack any account users, get their detail identity and start to do cyber criminal.

The second reason is there is no insufficient cyber law. Lack of cyber law bring more cyber criminal. As we know, people can spread spam easily and they will use cookies to get information about users. As there is no action taken due of that , many people do cyber criminal.

The third reason is not everything is private although we set the information as a private. For example, Friendster which is a among of the social networking besides myspace tagged and so on. For friendster, even we setting that as a private, the information about status, name and location still can be see in public.

In conclusion, there is no more privacy online since everything can be hacked easily, no insufficient cyber law and not everything is private although we set as a private.

there is no more privacy while online..

                I agree that there is no more online privacy because of several reasons.

                The most important reason is our privacy while online and all the data can be hacked.  This irresponsible activity is done by a person or by group of person to achieve their goal, as example hackers hack one person email to get information about that person or their profiles details. Hackers also can change data from the person that they hacked or put some fake information to that person websites.

                Secondly, there is a lot of social networking websites that is not protecting user’s privacy. For example, when we want to sign up for the service, we need to fill all the form such as birth date, full name and also our address. All the information will be shown to the other user and that make it not private anymore. Sometimes this social networking service also show when we online and this make we do not feel that we have privacy while using that services.

                Besides that, there were software can spy all our activities while online. Spyware is the program where keep on monitoring online users activities via cookies files. This is very dangerous because it can track all our private data and record all online activities such as, website that we open, password that we type, and what we talk in instant messaging service. Spyware also can change our entire computer setting and also slow down our computer speed.

                In conclusion, privacy while online does not exist anymore. All our activities can be track, all our private data can be hacked and all our private information knows by the other. While all this things can be known by others, it does not call private anymore.

Online privacy?

Name : Chow Soon Lai
Matric No : A120393

I agree that there is no more online privacy due to several reasons.


I agree with other groups' opinion that non-ethical issue is the factor that leads to no more online privacy. Phishing is one of good example that tricks the internet user to key-in their private data. Besides that, hackers creating virus that able to trace what the button is being pressed. They use this method to get the private data. For example, they upload the file that embedded virus to internet and virus will activate once the user click at the file.

Secondly, I agree there is lack of control in information flows. Internet is a virtual world without boundaries, our data are easily exposed to others. Uploaded photo for example, they can grab it and with bad intention their edit your photo and put it back to the website. This considered the worst case because the victim cannot deleted it unless the webmaster deleted it.

Last but not least, I hold with those who say that there are very limited laws and legal protections against the online privacy. This has snowball the cyber crime. People are not afraid to do some bad things because no action can be taken to penalize them. Furthermore, website provider collects users’ information though cookies, this also considered against privacy.

In conclusion, internet is just a virtual world that we cannot hundred percent believed at it. Proper action should be taken by the users to protect their online privacy.

No Online Privacy

Name : Amalia Mabrina Masbar Rus
Matric No : A120998


I agree that there is no more online privacy because of several reasons.


My first reason is people can spy our online activities by using a thing called cookies. It can gives information about our online activities. Every time we open a website, the cookies are stored in our computer. These cookies can be used by the website owner to track our online activities. The owner will know what comment we gives, what links we click and the time we spent in the website.


The second reason is someone can access any website. The hacker can steal our account for the website by creating the fake website which asks for username and password for logging in. When user enters their username and password, these data is sent to the hacker’s e-mail, not for logging in. Then the hacker uses these username and password to enter the private website.


The last reason is someone can search for our personal information. If we join the social networking website like Friendster or Facebook then it will be easier. In Friendster, our personal information like birthday, what we likes, our status of relationship, and other information are appear on our profile information. Even this information is only for our friends but there is a chance for other people to see these too by stealing our account.


In conclusion, I think there is no more online privacy because someone can spy our online activities, stealing our account and get our personal information.

No more privacy online???

i agree that there is no more privacy online because of several reason.

The first reason is lack of control in information flow. Internet is a virtual world with no boundaries and limits. Even a small update in website can be noticed by everyone in this world. For example, in Friendster, any changes of profile or new photos updated can be browsed by other user because there is a notifications in other user's website.

Secondly, there are very limited law and legal protection against the online content. Information can be spread out widely with no limits. For example, people can send spam easily to everyone at anytime. Hence criminal crimes increase for those people who do no abide the law. But no action or punishment can be taken to them.

The third and the most important reason is lack of safety online. Our own information easily to steal by people by hacking our accounts. For example, there are alot of unknown users hack other user's accounts to steal their pin number and hence create a new fake identity. Then this fake identity is used by people to do bad things.

In conclusion, i agree that there is no more privacy online due to lack of information control, insufficient of cyber law to protect our privacy and lack of safety online.

NAME: LEONG MEI MUNG
MATRIC NO: A120453

I agree that there is no more privacy online because of some reason.

The first and important reason is the lack of safety online. Any information that I set online can be steal. Any information that I set can be seen by website producers. For example all information that users set in Friendster can be seen by Friendster producers. The producers may be do the bad thing with users’ information without notice me like fraud. It may influence users’ real life safety too.

Secondly, there is lack of control of my online information. Some of my information can be spread out in short period. Many of the users do not know how to control the spread of information. For example, Friendster website will spread user birthday date when the date reach without notice users. Hence the users cannot prevent the notice of their birthday to another user.

Lastly, fake information also can be appearing online. Some users will use fake personality to do any online activity. They will think that it protect their real information. For example, users can create their fake information to open new Friendster account so that no information can be stealing. Hence this show that there is no influence for online activity without online privacy.

In conclusion, I strongly agree that there is no more online privacy because of lack of safety online, lack of information control and appearing of fake information online.

There is no more online privacy??

I disagree with there is no more privacy online based on several reasons.

Firstly, user can create different email account for for different purpose. Some online users use their working email account to send private email. Even if the email send from your home, a copy is often stored on your employer's main computer server. The employer has legal to read any and all correspondence in this account or on your work computer at anytime. By using separate email account, we can protect our private information from exposing.

Secondly, users can log in and clear computer memory cache. By empty the memory cache, the browsing history will be deleting forever. This action will prevent hacker and unauthorized to steal user private information. It also workable and useful in working place, especially if you share a computer with colleague.

Thirdly,we can control our personal information in our private website being exposed by unauthorized. User must login by using user account and password to access their private information. For example, we need key in the user name and password when we login internet social network services such as frienster and facebook. Beside this, user can prevent their private information view by unauthorized by set profile into private.

As a conclusion, there are several methods to protect and improve privacy online. User must know and learn the right way to protect their online privacy.

I agree that there is no more privacy online because of several reasons.

Firstly, there is insufficient cyber law to protect our online privacy. Although there are enormous cyber crimes taken place each day but still no strict action taken by the authorities. This causes those irresponsible users such as hackers to continue their wrong action. For example, hackers will create a fake webpage which ask for the user’s private information towards other internet users for their own benefits.

Besides that, there is a lack of control in information flow online. Lack of information flow control cause user’s personal information easy to be spread out to other internet users. For example, most of the users who participate in website blogging and other online activity do not know how to prevent the website they use from sending their birth date, age, and also other information to other internet users.

Lastly, lack of safety measures shows that the internet users are vulnerable to various threats. Being exposed to the threads of viruses, malware and cookies that use to spying our online activity, internet users will face problem in losing personal information include medical status, education background, and even information in Identity Certification. This information will be sold to Insurance Company, and other company for business purpose.

In conclusion, I emphasis that there is no more privacy online due to insufficient cyber law to protect our online privacy, lack of control in information flow online, and internet users are vulnerable to various threats.

The first and most important reason is everything can be hack. For example, hackers can hack into our accounts to steal our information. The hackers also can easily know our pin code and our password. Since there are a lot of online users can access the Internet, so we can’t trust anyone. The hacker may be from one of our contacts or maybe from the other users.

Secondly, not everything can be set as a private. For instance, Friendster website. If there is anything changed in the user’s account, there will be a notification that can be seen by others. Even a small changes like status or age, others will be noticed about that.

Lastly, there are some virus and software that can use to spy our online activities. For example, spyware software. This software will spy any activities that online users doing. The sender of this software can spy the online user’s activities such as chatting on any websites. So, there is no more privacy because others will know about what we chatting on.

Every sign-up of these services have state their terms and condition to the user. Furthermore, users are advice to edit the setting about the control of the content by the service provider. The expose of the content are actually the user themselves. Most of the social networks are user customizable.

Secondly, online crimes. Crimes happen every way. Yet, it doesn’t mean online attacks dose not have any preventions nor solutions. Antivirus software are one of the tools that prevent and cure us form attack and damages. These tools will keep us safe by aiding us scanning the contents, files and applications while we surfing on the net.

NO PRIVACY ONLINE ANYMORE??

I totally agree that there is no more privacy online based on several reasons.

First of all is an Internet privacy risks such as cookies, ISPs and data logging. For example, data logging like which websites that we are visit are potentially loss of security. If a third party has sufficient access to the computer that we use, logically or not, our privacy may be compromised. This non-privacy situation shown when there are some companies had monitor all instant messages (IM) sent by employees.

Besides, the expose of identity theft as cheater of identity also be a reason of no more privacy online. This is because, when the criminal get our personal information, maybe the criminal will commit fraud and even crime such as stealing or murder. They only need just our social security number to steal our identity.

Last but not least is private information which is not a private anymore. As we know, people put so much personal information into their social networking such as MySpace from their actual birthday to their favorite food and so on. Everything online is there forever in one form or another. It’s mean that even we make a change like deleting our account profiles, it’s doesn’t mean we has delete that information forever. Maybe other person has manipulated our information already.

As a conclusion, the lack of privacy online can lead to Internet privacy risks, identity theft and our private information which is not a private anymore.

I agree that is no more privacy online because of several reasons.

The first and most important reason is everything can be hack. The irresponsible user such as hacker can generate or use a kind of software or application that can steal my information without being notice by me. For example, hacker can create a fake webpage that ask for password. Then users will enter their password without noticing that the webpage is faked. Hence the hacker can get users private information by using the password.

Secondly, there are some virus and software that can use to spying my online activity. The examples are malware and spyware software. When visiting some websites, this software wills automatically being installed to our personal computer. So the third party that sends the software will spy on users online activities such as chatting on MSN messenger.

Besides that, not everything is private although I set my information to be private online such as Friendster website. On that website there is a function where users can set their profile to be private. However, not all of the information will be protected under private function. In this website, there is information that can be seen by other although it is a private profile such as name, location and users’ status.

In conclusion, there is no more privacy online since my information can be hack, there exits some software which can spy my online activities and information that should be private is not private anymore.

WHEN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC COLLIDE

Do you agree or disagree that there is no more privacy online?

We agree that there is no more privacy online based on several reasons.

Firstly, there is no more privacy online because other users can notify when we makes a changes in our account profile. For example, when we make a change in our profile such as make new friends, join or left group or change relationship status, other users will know about it.

Besides, weak level of trustworthy makes no more privacy online. We can see this situation in a company when the administration tries to explore all the staff’s documents privacy.

Lastly, the cheating on identity can also bring no privacy online. For example, instant messaging services need users to access with their own username and password. In this case, the identity theft can use others identity to impostor and try to get others private information.

In the nutshell, there is no more privacy online based on these reasons. There is notification after users editing their profiles, weak level of trustworthy and cheating on identity.

For example, hackers can hack into our accounts to steal our information. Besides, there are impostor that use other identities for the use of cheating.

Secondly , there is insufficient of Cyber law to protect our online privacy. Information can be circulated online widely. For instance, people can forward spam easily and no action can be taken to penalize those who do not abide the rules. Moreover, some trustworthy company may have bad internal practices and expose us to identity theft.

Finally, there is no more privacy online because Internet is a virtual world without boundaries. Even a small update on website can be browsed by people anytime and anywhere. For example, in the Facebook ,if there is anything changed in the user contact's profiles such as relationship status, there will be a notification that can be see by others.

All in all, I strongly agree that there is no more privacy online because there is lots of non-ethical incidents occur online, insufficient of Cyber law and Internet is a virtual world without boundaries.

Do you agree or disagree that there is no more privacy online

Nowadays, many people think they are no privacy when they are online. I disagree with this situation because we still have our choices to make it privacy.
The first reason why I disagree with this situation is because we can log out after we use our account. After that, we can clear our computer memory cache to avoid hackers or other user to detect our username and password. For example, after using portal like spin, we can log out and make sure that we clear all the memory cache in the computer.

Website providers use cookies to collect information about users.This is considered to be stealing information and against privacy. Besides that, people are not afraid to misuse the internet like posting sensitive comments online.

Besides that, there is a lack of control in information flow online. Anyone can access the internet and send messages massively to unknown users. Uploaded items can be viewed by all and cannot be deleted unless detected. For instance, personal video clips.
