Privacy

As technologies continue to develop, privacy and confidentiality are beginning to become harder to maintain. A lot of information can be made public nowadays and can be accessed with just a few clicks of a mouse, such as salaries and job positions. Other things can also be made public willingly, like sharing whereabouts on a social media site, and these things can be dangerous. There may be stalkers or people who will trace the location down and maybe do something harmful. Private conversations may also be difficult to have with people as features such as screenshotting and methods of saving information exist, which can leak potential business moves or plans/ideas.

With all of this new technology there is a major risk with hackers as well. Hackers can go into a company's database and steal information from customers or from the company itself and do serious damage. In this age of new media and developing technologies, it is hard to keep things truly private and confidential.
