Everyone has always said to use the same password for all of your accounts. If a hacker finds out your password, they will stop at nothing to check other sites. If you are using the same password for every account, and you get hacked, they already know everything they need to know to get into other accounts that you have signed up for. Hackers gain more access to your life, such as emails, banking, social media, and other sites. Do not write down your passwords around or near your computer. Change your passwords regularly. Use long, random passwords that are easy to remember.

Russian Hackers
Russian hackers have taken 1.2 billion passwords and usernames and over a half a billion emails. A theft from Target affected 40 million credit cards and debit cards become one of the largest breaches of all time, but the Russian criminals have taking identity theft to a whole new level. The group of about a dozen people in their 20's appears to be based in south central Russia. While trying to track the online breaches, Hold Security uncovered many major hacks from the past. Hold Security will provide a tool for people to check to see if their credentials have been stolen. I have seen many cases where someone's account has been hacked. I think that hacking is ridiculous, and it is getting worse by the year. As our technology increases, the amount of hackers increases too.

Should the Internet be governed?
There are currently no real laws or rules that govern the Internet. I think there should be certain regulations to control the lack of privacy and security, bullying, predators, and hackers in our society. The most common problems I have seen on the Internet are cyberbullying and hackers. It gets worse as the years and generations progress. I think we should develop laws to stop cyberbullying and hackers from gaining access to personal information. Suicide rates would decrease. People would not be afraid of becoming hacked by clicking a link to a web page.
