Reading

5. Read the text and complete the chart. (20 points each)
Your privacy is being invaded every day. It used to be we kept our privacy by closing
the curtains, unlisting our telephone number, and just using an initial and last name on
the outdoor mailbox. This modern age has made protecting our privacy much more
difficult.

Some of the most public spaces available are social networking sites. People seem to
think these are much more private than they really are. They keep their sites public.
They give their names, addresses, and even telephone numbers. They give out all kinds
of private information, like when they are going out of town. They might as well put a
sign outside their houses saying, “I'm not at home. I'm on vacation. You can rob me
now.” More and more thieves are using social networks to locate houses to rob. So,
even if you leave the lights on inside your house when you go out of town to keep
thieves away, you might come home to an empty house.

Another way people voluntarily give up their privacy is by not having an up-to-date
virus scan and firewall installed on their computers. Many believe these only keep out
viruses and if one gets in, they'll realize it and just reformat everything. In reality,
viruses are only a small part of what can get into an unprotected computer. Using
malware and trojans, hackers and the programs they create can break into your
computer and alter files, attack other files, or steal your credit card or bank information.
Using this information, they can make unauthorized purchases and even steal your
identity.

In reality, many of the privacy dangers on the Internet can be limited if users just

followed simple rules: (1) don't believe what you put on the Internet won't be seen and
used by others; and (2) keep your virus scans and firewall up to date.
