Through the rise of technology this article is explaining that having password is better than nothing. the internet is unsafe and they want to make people aware of dangers as its creating many problems like cyber theft and leaking. An example is Snapchat leaking thousands of user names and phone numbers in america by a hacker at the start of January 2014 on a website. Many people have been told the dangers but not in depth and this can lead ignorant and people who are internet-uneducated into potential dangers. Shows like Catfish identify a problem but not all of them. the internet holds many dangers and can involve giving private information, theft of money, hacking and many more. The purpose of this article is to get attention of these hazards and to start making more people aware of these problems as they are increasingly occurring.
