Hackers Paradise

I like to consider myself tech savvy to a certain extent. But I cannot lie and say that I know anything about proper security and protection when it comes to my computer and phone. I am probably considered a good target for hackers. I don't understand the "cloud" and how everything tech wise that I own is connected to one another and has everything shared between it. I don't even realize how often my phone is telling others where I am. After discussion in this class, I have recently been more freaked about my web presence and location sharing. Not that I was some avid "checking in" Facebook person, but things like Snapchat has been sharing my location for months and I didn't even realize I was doing so. I have noticed how little I know about what happens when you share things like that. You have to remember how smart others are and how tricky they can be just by using your social media. Especially when it comes to passwords, I am the worst. I keep the 4 passwords I use written down and most of my information is similar. I admire the people that have these crazy elaborate security measures because they're probably doing it right. I feel like my computer is a hackers paradise because I wouldn't know the first thing to do if they somehow got my information. I hope that I can learn a little bit more about how to keep my stuff safe so nothing bad happens. However, I know the common knowledge things like not telling others when I'm out of town and not filling out those extremely invasive quizzes on Facebook that tell everyone your basic info. I can avoid that much.
