The article that I have chosen to read about talks in a lot of detail about internet safety. It talked about how Snowden leaked all the information about the NSA, but even more about our safety as people on the internet. Im a person who has nothing to hide when it comes to the internet, but the fact that our personal information and such is available to be hacked and looked at is not a thought i like to bring to mind. Especially my online accounts where I have money on such as iTunes or Amazon where i really dont want people knowing my information. It is crazy to think that all of our personal information is at risk that easily and anyone who has a government clearance can look at it. This goes along with being careful with what you put on facebook, twitter, or even instagram when it comes to sharing information. This goes to show that you cant be too careful with what you post online. I personally stay away from posting too much on social media because the less that is on there the less I have to worry about. But that doesnt go for all other forms of web browsing because there is always some sort of information being collected on what you do when you surf the web.
Here is the article this post is based off of in case you want to read: http://www.abc2news.com/dpp/news/state/johns-hopkins-researchers-discuss-nsa-snowden-leak-effects-on-cyber-security
