technology article

China belives that US has been trying to hack them for years now. They think the US is trying to over throw them, on average the website chinamil.com gets attacked 144000 times by US hackers everyday. Ten days ago, US cybersecurity firm Mandiant named one particular unit of the People’s Liberation Army in Shanghai as the likely perpetrator of a six-year-long sustained hacking campaign against more than 140 companies across the globe. In past months, several US news organisations have reveled that they were hacked following investigative reporting on the Chinese leadership.
The Chinese government and military have angrily rejected Mandiants accusation, calling the report “unprofessional” and saying that China is one of the main victims of cyberwarfare. But the figure marks the first time Beijing backs that assertion with a concrete claim.

Real life storys

1. What personal information did Teresa give out?
She put her name and information that led to people finding out she is a teenage girl and they figured out her phone number, street address, what schools are near her, and the names of everyone who lives in her household.
2. Have you ever put personal information on the Internet?
i have put personal things on the internet but nothing that could come back and hurt me. i usually dont put my phone number or anything out for random people to see, ill instand message them any personal info. but only if i know the person.
3. What do you believe is the most important thing to remember when using the Internet?
I think the most importent thing to remember while using the internet is once you put something up, its there forever, there is no taking it back and it could come back to hurt you down the road so you have to watch what you post on the web.

                                                                 You cant take it back

i watched the video called you cant take it back and a guy made a website kind of like a hot or not kind of website that the guys used to rate girls from their school. some of the things that were posted on the site really hurt the girl and got some of the guys kicked out of their school, ine guys friend even out the other guys sister on the site. In the end they wished they would have never even seen the website.

digital footprint

i dont mind my digital footprint, nothinh that i have seen was even that bad. i was surprised to see some of the words i use and i was very surprised that i found pictures of myself on google though. Nothing i found about myself was embarassing, i actually didnt mind anything that i found.in the future i may want to change the privacy settings on all of my accounts so none of my stuff gets out any more.

Cyber Bully

The movie was wonderful.i think it really showed whats going on in the real word but it was a tad more dramatic then real life. What we went over in class is very similar to this movie, it shows that most people dont want to do anything about bullying, but steps need to be taken to end all of the cyber bullying. Seeking help doesnt make you weak, getting help can be the best thing to do because you never know when youre gonna break down and say thats enough and do something youll regret. The case we discussed is class was very similar, it was just an average cyber bullying case but more dramatic.
