In the article “The Perils of Over-sharing in Social Networks”, Emm (2014) talks about the ever increasing danger of using the internet. The author writes about how recent news of authorities and large corporations spying on citizens have surfaced. This problem is further exacerbated since the internet is increasing being used for almost everything, from communication to monetary transactions. Emm highlights the importance of being careful about what information we make accessible to others online as it may reach an unintended audiences with malicious motives. Such seemingly harmless information when pieced together or interpreted by the right person can inadvertently reveal a trove of information about yourself or what you post about.
Emm states that these attackers are able to target any device able to connect to the internet, and people are complacent when it comes to protecting their handphones due to attacks being rare. People thus need to act with caution to protect themselves these dangers.
