Hey everyone,
I think that it is really important to protect your password for your gaming account. There are so many people's account have gotten hacked and they lost thousands of gaming items in the games such as WOW and Diablo 3.
On the one hand, I took the social media course last term. I
start to realize that people didn’t be aware of posting the things such as
photos, videos on major social networking. On the other hand, they need to know
that online security such as online banking and identity are at risk right now.
I think that these two topics are related to each other. The reason is that the
online thieves are also take advantage of the privacy part. The crime usually
goes with both of them.
First, I will just talk about the online privacy. I need to
say the online privacy is over because I heard so many news about US government
hack people’s accounts such as for Facebook.[1]
People also think that Barack Obama personally authorized wiretap on German
Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2010.[2] “Mr.
Obama’s European allies will now ask him to say what he personally knew about
the NSA’s global eavesdropping operation and its targeting of world leaders,
including those from friendly states. The White House declined to comment on
the German media reports.”[3]
The world is shocking about this although the NSA denies it. Therefore, I think
that the online privacy fro everyone is at risk right now because even the
government tries to capture and analyze almost every communications around the
global.
CIRA took the survey
on Canadians and they found out that “only 18 per cent of Canadians believe
Internet activity is confidential. Four in 10 believe the Canadian government
is tracking their Internet activity.” [1]I
also think that people need to realize that the thing that they post on Internet
is never going to get forgotten.
The numbers above has showed the people how they start to
realize the risk of the posting things online and how the government or the
software companies can easily track your footprints via the search tools or
browsers. “There are 86% of the Internet users have already taken steps online
to remove or mask their digital footprints-ranging from clearing cookies to
encrypting their e-mail, from avoiding using their name to using virtual
networks that mask their internet protocol (IP) address.”[1]
I think the online safe things that need to do is to change your game password often. The gamers shouldn't use the same password for different accounts.
Here is a video about security for game account.
