Title Study of Securing Accounts in Social Media: Effectiveness of Protecting A Personal Identity for the Selected
Students of University of Cabuyao

Brief Description (establish the

rationale of the study, research
objectives, locale, target
respondents, and method of data
collection)
I. RATIONALE:
Online transactions are no longer the exception in today’s society; they are now the rule. The
internet is becoming a virtual thief’s paradise, full of identities that may be stolen, thanks to
social media sites and online markets. For users to obtain access, social media sites are still
requesting more personal data. A hacker might quickly gather this data, use it to get access to
personal accounts, and then use it to commit fraud. In addition, numerous social media platforms
are linked together and simple to access with just one sign-in, giving the data thief access to all
of the personal data. According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, hacking is an act to gain
illegal access to computer and systems. Hacking is defined as the practice of compromising
digital systems and networks by gaining unauthorized access to a computer system or account.
Although not necessarily a hostile act, hacking is most frequently linked to illicit conduct and
data theft by online criminals.

According to Hussain, A. (2022) Identity theft is the act of obtaining another person’s financial
or personal information with the intent to use it to conduct fraud, such as making unlawful
purchases or transactions. There are numerous ways to commit identity theft, and the victims
frequently suffer consequences to their reputation, wealth, and credit. The stolen data can be
used to incur debt, obtain credit, buy products and services in the victim’s name, or give the thief
fraudulent identification. Rarely, a fraudster may provide a fraudulent ID to law enforcement,
resulting in a criminal record or unfulfilled arrest warrants for the individual whose identity has
been stolen. (Lutkevich B. 2021). According to a poll by the data analytics company Fico,
almost 4.5 percent of adult Filipinos, or 5 million people, reported having been victims of
identity theft, which could have cost them money. Additionally, 6.7 million Filipinos, or 6%,
think their identity was fraudulently used to open a financial account, according to Fico, who
said that this indicated a growing awareness of such scams. (Piad, T.J.C. 2022).

With these life-threatening situations, many victims of the identity theft face the consequences
for the act they did not do. According to Givens, B. (2000) The organizations that provided the
identifying information to the victims offer little assistance. Investigations into these offenses
are rare by law enforcement. Victims frequently invest a lot of effort in resolving the problem.
Identity theft is a crime according to both federal and state regulations. To encourage the credit
industry to improve how they conduct business, new laws are however required. The
requirements of victims who have false criminal records must likewise be covered by legislation.
Lists of identity theft-related publications and websites.

I. RATIONALE:
Business owners nowadays seek or discover different techniques to promote their products in
order to gain more sales. However, the internet is popular for most business owners to sell their
products. According to Tabuena et al. (2022), online business sellers use digital marketing
strategies. They claim that the potential for growth in the online market exists, and they use
advertising to attract more customers and attention to their digital marketing campaigns.
Because the majority of us only use our phones, this marketing strategy makes it far too easy for
customers to purchase what they need. Many business owners continue their business online due
to the thought that they might gain more sales compared to traditional sales since the internet is
more accessible to everyone. Thus, we want to conduct this study to know what the effects of
online selling are on the sales and marketing of a product and if it leads to more sales or vice
versa. In order to know the effectiveness of promoting products online.
II. OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of online business and its
effects on the sales and marketing of the products of selected online seller students at the
University of Cabuyao.
• To analyze the different ways of promoting online businesses and how they affect the
marketing strategy
• To determine the amount of profits or income in an online business
• To differentiate the profits they get from online selling
• To show the effectiveness of online businesses in their sales and marketing
III. RESEARCH LOCALE:
This research study will be conducted at the University of Cabuyao.
IV. TARGET RESPONDENTS:
The target respondents of this research study will be the selected students of the University of
Cabuyao who have experience as online sellers.
V. METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION:
This research study will use a survey for data collection, providing questions about sales and
marketing in online businesses. The results will be compiled based on the answers of the

Study of Power Interruption: Effectiveness of Using Powerbank WiFi During Online Sessions for the Selected
Students of University of Cabuyao
I. RATIONALE:
Wireless Internet is now so widespread that we’ve come to expect it almost everywhere we go,
from coffee shops to airports or any places. While this is great in many ways, power bank Wi-Fi
are necessary wherever we go since they can help us if we have power supply issues. It also
increases the potential for hackers to deceive people because anyone can sit down and set up a
mobile hotspot or wireless network of their own and give it a credible name, like an airport
name, and if someone uses their network they can watch and record all the network traffic in real
time. According to Wong, J. (2013) The user is required to travel with a wireless network, a
portable storage device, and a portable power source. The mobile storage device offers a
relatively large storage capacity despite a lack of a power supply unit. It is huge, making it
unsuitable for the user to carry around. According to the present invention, the first control unit
and the second control unit are connected to each other via a bus; and the wireless transmission
unit includes an antenna.
According to Lin, H. L. (2016) This device can boost the performance of low-access Wi-Fi and
provide data transmission and communication of the routing function on the data network. Layer
between an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and a participant’s. According to Academia.edu, As
our daily use of our phones, tablets, and portable media players exceeds their battery life, power
banks have grown in popularity. Power banks work with almost all USB-charged devices.
Devices like cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and tablets. The power bank Wi-Fi can help
us to provide the means of recharging without the need to wait for the electric power supply to
be restored if we experience a brownout at home. The present invention relates to a portable
power bank, more specifically to a multifunctional portable power bank that is usable and allows
include on both data access and access device expansion via local or wireless networks as well
as the supply of electricity charging of other electronic devices.
II. OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this research study is to know the effectiveness of using Power Bank WiFi for
online class of selected Grade 12 students of University of Cabuyao.
• To analyze the different types of internet interruptions
• To determine the different types of Power Bank WiFi that students’ use during online sessions
• To show the number of students who are using power bank wifi for their online class sessions
