Risks of IT in the IT
Industry
When something great comes along such as IT and the internet
there are always bad things which follow it such as people online who create
viruses and start online cyber bullying etc. Unfortunately there are no
official ways to stop people doing these things as the internet is an open
place free for anyone to do as they wish and of course some companies have
created software to protect you from these but they also cost money. But really it is the users responsibility to
tread carefully on the internet and only visit websites they trust or if
someone makes a blog make it so only certain people can read it if you don’t
want lots of people seeing it.
A big threat to IT systems is being hacked and this happens to small and large IT users (Sony). Do you think this will affect our confidence in using IT systems for our personal information?
ReplyDeleteI think yes it will make people be more self aware about what they go on such as websites they visit or it might even scare people away from opening their emails. This is definitely going to make people turn away from using IT such as people who were with Sony actually thought about changing over the the Xbox (Microsoft) who have never been hacked before. These hackers can also really affect big companies as their buyers will not trust them anymore meaning they lose lots of business.
ReplyDeleteThough there is no way to stop it there have been people arrested for posting racist and discriminating things on social media. Although I doubt it'll stop it entirely, it might deter people from posting their abuse in fear of a criminal record.
ReplyDelete"Unfortunately there is no official way to stop people doing bad things on the internet" these problems can be addressed but nothing is being done about it due to western laws, other countries have less of these problems due to stricter laws.
