Business & Cyberspying
- Almost everything we do online is being scooped up and recorded for use by marketers, and it’s difficult to know what parts of our own lives still belong to us.
- Whatever the impact on your personal privacy, it seems unlikely that you can claim ownership of a lot of data that’s being collected about you. At work, for instance, you basically have no rights.
Government & Cyberspying
- Governments at all levels spy on their citizens, sometimes encouraged by the law, sometimes in spite of the law, often unknown to us.
- Local police, national ID cards, National Security Agency (NSA), FBI, drones, and so on
Spying, Hacking, & Cyberwarfare by Foreign Governments & Groups
- The world is so interconnected that it is a constant struggle for technology managers to keep us secure against cyberinvasions of all sorts.
- Governments get involved in cyberwarfare —warfare involving computers and the Internet in which one nation attacks another’s information systems.
