The article I chose to do this blog over was called " On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data Might Be You", by Jacquielynn Floyd. She Floyd wrote about how Facebook is a big part of most peoples lives. People post statuses daily even hourly, which tells the whole world what they are doing that day or week. People post pictures of vacations, dances, dates, outings, baptisms, plays, weddings, really anything and everything. Floyd's problem isn't even with Facebook really its more about how people open up so much of themselves online when so many identities are stolen via online. There was an incident where a woman posted on Facebook that she would be gone for a week on vacation, and while she was gone her place was robbed. Because she posted the specific times of when she would be gone the robbers knew when exactly to rob her house. People don't realize how easy it is for websites to get hacked and steal a bunch of information from them. This article brings that to everyones attention and hopefully knocks some sense into people about posting personal information online. I personally agree with the writer of this article and think people should be more careful about posting personal information online.
