Cyber Security

This week in class I had a debate with classmates about cybersecurity. We asked ourselves the question should you hack back? What I learned from this is no you shouldn’t hack back and there a couple of reasons why. It is never okay to hack regardless if it was done to you prior. There are security measures that you can take instead, downloading software to protect your computer is a safe way to protect yourself. The police have people in place to track hackers. You also do not know who is hacking you and you don’t want to make matters worse. I didn’t think hacking was a big deal because I didn’t realize that anyone isn’t truly safe. Your money can be taken very easily regardless of your age and so can your identity. There are many motives to hack and everyone is vulnerable. I decided to download software to protect my computer because personally I have been hacked before and didn’t realize how much it could of hurt me. Pop up adds and emails are easy ways to be hacked and I have fallen for them already.
