Digital Footprint
Our class watched a few videos on digital footprints, and it was pretty scary how much people can find out about you, just based on your internet history. If you do not delete certain cookies, or turn your computer's browser to private, you could be at risk of identity theft.
A lot of people do not know how to delete their cookies, or take these security precautions, so they could easily have their identity stolen.
One of the videos showed a man and a woman who had no connection to each other. The man looked up all of the woman's information up online. He was even able to find her social security number.
Everybody needs to be careful what kind of information they put on the internet, and always know how to keep yourself protected from having a dangerous digital footprint.
