Due to the development of technology remarkably the internet, it has led to several improvements in the world since the sharing of information is more comfortable and efficient. However, the development in communication technology has to lead to negative results when used by those with evil intent such as hackers.  Notably, the internet has made it possible to share information and even easily socialize since it supports social media platforms and other advertisement oriented platforms.  Considerably,   it has made it easy to interact with each other regardless of the location and even played a dominant role in business-oriented industries since it can allow remote control.  Due to such improvements and the vast usage of the internet, sharing of data is one of the primary and critical roles on the internet and thus leading to a profound need to safeguard individuals’ data to protect them from privacy violations.

Why is the topic relevant?

Internet and privacy topic is much relevant to the online users who in most cases, tend to share a large volume of data online. In this case, the problem will help the online user to comprehend on the channels and how data is shared online and the negative side of the internet as far as privacy is concerned. Notably, the topic will help the online user understand the concept of hackers and those who may intrude on their data for malicious gains. On the other hand, it gives a clear insight into the best practices to carry out when online and how to avoid malicious activities ranging from phishing to hacking. Considerably, the topic handles online users’ interest, such as how they can easily detect malicious activities carried by hackers leading to the access of their private data such as the health insurance and payment details. In this case, the topic will help the online user to get the needed cautions and thus able to quickly carry out their activities online by avoiding malicious sites and other potential and prone areas where phishing and other hacking activities may take place. On the other hand, it will give knowledge to the online user on how they can quickly detect online fraud and how to report such scams case they happen for swift measures.

Insight added on the topic

The everyday changes in technology have led to hackers evolving and coming up with new methods on how they can steal and uses the personal data they acquire online. The process which the hacklers applied a decade ago to receive online user’s personal information is much different from the one they are using in the current generation.  As per this, the topic aims at coming up with the new and the current methods used by hackers and how to counter check on these new methods to prevent the future personal data losses to malicious people.  Notably, the audience should pay much attention to the topic since it gives them knowledge on the best ways they can safeguard and protect their data online at the same time the best channel they can follow when using the internet supported platforms to avoid falling prey into the hacker’s traps.  Conversely, the topic will consider the current used methodologies and ideas used by hackers to steal personal data online and even a precaution method that online users can use to protect their data. Most of these methods are much rare since they have been used recently, and thus, the possibility of not been addressed in the previous work.

How to accomplish the project

Accomplishing the reach project will need data, the methodology of data collection, and data analyzing. Considerably, the research involves cross-checking on the secondary sources, which will help in generating a literature review to support the research thesis statement. As per the timing, the investigation will be scheduled within a timeline of one month, and the first one week involves collecting the needed material such as the data required, the methodology to be used during the research studies, and coming up with the research hypothesis. During the second, the first research draft will be submitted to the professor to check and give feedback in case they are any.  In this case, it will take around two to three days for the lecturer to give feedback. Then, the revision of the first draft, fixing the professor’s requirement, and adding more information on the selection will take the remaining five days of the second week. In the third week, the second draft of the research draft will be available and thus submitted to the lecturer for feedback. The fourth week will involve revising and editing the second draft. The process will entail fixing all the areas which the lecturer needs fixed and cross-checking on the grammar, paragraph arrangement, and the required formatting styles.  After checking all of the above, the final research paper will be available by the end of the fourth week and thus presented for grading.
