This article found at CNN Tech is about Hillary Clinton's views on Cyber attacks an the vulnerability that we all face. "In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation's networks can be an attack on all," she stated. This essentially means that Cyber attacks in China can lead to Cyber attacks anywhere. Google threatened to shut down its operations in China. Chinese hackers have targeted both Google and other companies.
Someone who is to use Google search in China would find that their results are much more censored then someone who would use it in the US. A large number of people use the internet now for banking, and this can be risky if we can't really on internet security to keep us all safe.
Then later in the article, Clinton goes on to talk about how the internet is a very useful tool and can create opportunities where none would exist otherwise. For example, farmers in Kenya have seen their incomes increase by 30% since they started using mobile banking technology.
I found this article to be interesting because many of us use the internet every day for many different purposes. Many of our classes rely on the use of the internet, and it's security is very important.
