Advancements in computing power and data storage have made wholesale surveillance
possible. But they’ve also made leaking possible. We’ve seen massive shifts in cyber attacks
over the last two decades: from simple viruses written by teenagers to multimillion-dollar
cyber attacks launched by nation-states. All this is happening right now, during our
generation. We were the first generation that got online. We should do what we can to
secure the net and keep it free so that it will be there for future generations to enjoy. While
governments are watching over us, they know we are watching over them. But if you’re not
doing anything wrong, why worry about this? Or, if you are worrying about this, what do
you have to hide? My answer to this question is that I have nothing to hide. In this article
passive or active attacks are not discussed but it shows the dark side of internet and how we
should secure our data as well as our important information.
