E. Have you ever lost your personal data and information while using the internet? Share your experiences in the class.

Answer:

Yes, I have lost my personal data and information while using the internet. Actually, I made mistakes that caused me to lose my personal data and information. My whole Google Cloud Drive data and information was destroyed. I successfully uploaded all of my files and information to Google Drive when I first used it. When I later attempted to retrieve the data I had uploaded, I was unable to determine the precise position of my data and information storage. I kept looking there in vain for all of my files. I terminated my Gmail account out of frustration, which wiped everything in the storage. After a few days, I received a suggestion from a buddy about how to use Google Drive. Thus, wiping everything from your drive with just one click is simple. When using the internet, we must exercise considerably greater caution.

Internet and Cyber Security

Answer:

The Rising Nepal

April 20

In today's digital age, the internet has become an integral part of our lives, reforming the way we communicate, work, shop, and access information. From social media platforms connecting people worldwide to online banking and e-commerce, the internet has transformed the way we conduct our daily affairs. However, with the increasing reliance on technology, the importance of internet and cyber security has grown exponentially.

 

The internet has effortlessly intertwined itself into our daily routines, offering convenience and efficiency. From staying connected with loved ones through video calls and social media to conducting virtual meetings and online learning, the internet has become a lifeline, especially during times of global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, e-commerce has enabled us to shop from the comfort of our homes, transforming the retail landscape and providing access to a wide array of products and services.

 

While the internet brings many benefits, it is not without its drawbacks. Cybercriminals exploit weaknesses in the digital realm, causing significant harm to individuals, businesses, and even governments. Cyber-attacks such as data breaches, phishing scams, ransomware, and identity theft have become increasingly prevalent, resulting in financial losses and compromising personal information. Furthermore, the spread of misinformation and fake news on social media platforms has disrupted public discourse and trust in credible sources of information.

 

As we increasingly share sensitive data online, ensuring data privacy has become dominant. Safeguarding personal information, financial details, and other sensitive data is crucial to prevent misuse by malicious actors. One way to protect data privacy is through the use of strong and unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and keeping software and devices up to date with the latest security patches. Furthermore, individuals must be cautious about the information they share on social media and other online platforms, as it can be leveraged by cybercriminals for malicious purposes.
