Black Market Price of Your Personal Info
The link above leads you to an informative article on identity theft which is something we’ve covered in class extensively. It is amazing and alarming at the same time how the popularity of the internet has given way to a new breed of criminals. The question has been asked by our Professor if there is too much government regulation or not enough. My opinion on this topic is that there is definitely room for improvement with regulating online criminal activity. It has become too easy to access personal information and too hard to catch whose doing it. Take for example, Wikileaks and founder Julian Assange. Here we have someone who has accessed and exposed some of our country’s most confidential files and no one can find him! If the U.S. can’t protect their information, what about me?
