Personal data




You should never give out your personal details online like bank details etc. You should never leave your social media account. On Facebook you can set your information to private so people don’t know much about you.

Denial of service attacks on businesses



Service attacks on businesses affects businesses such as banks and if the server goes down people can’t use their credit card for a certain amount of time. The company will lose money and get bad reviews and the company will go bust.

Phishing



Since IT came about phishing has been bad because phishing is where you have to put usernames, passwords, and credit card and bank details to verify your details or your account this can come in a form of an electronic email. This is an example of phishing.


Spam



Throughout IT spamming has been a big deal because people can send links by email saying you have won some money but if you click on it it can cause a virus and mess up your computer and you have to spend some money to get it fixed.  Before IT there was no such thing as spam.


Cyber bullying


IT had made a big impact in cyber bullying.  Before IT there was less cyberbullying and ever since social media came about there has been more cyber bullying than ever before.  People can hack into your social media accounts and pose as other people and other people don’t know who they think they are talking to.

Economic impacts and writing practices



Ethical means what’s right and what’s wrong to release online and people can release personal data online so everyone can see it.

Legal-copyright



Ever since IT came out people upload images, videos, music and people are actually downloading them without permission and should get the owner’s permission before making that decision and it is against the law and can be prosecuted.

Economic impact and writing practices


The economy has changed a lot through IT because you can order food online. They have created new sites such as google and YouTube. Google is a search engine where you can do research and YouTube is a video site where people upload videos and watch them, you can also buy stuff online by using sites called amazon and eBay. 


Society as a whole



IT change a lot in society because people are losing lots of jobs all because of how IT has changed throughout the years and people can access private areas.  If you put stuff on social media it may not be secure and you don’t know who can see it and people can hack into your login and see all your private stuff.



Society as a whole



The community has changed over the years because before everyone was use to go out and meet people face to face and socialise but not it’s all about social media and texting on phone it’s not really much of a community now like as before

Individuals



IT makes it easier for yourself because you can check your emails online and social with people on social media and if a person is housebound or have a medical condition and can’t go they can do their shopping online and socialise with people.
