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.
