EX-PHILLY TV ANCHOR GETS HOUSE ARREST FOR HACKING

According to BNA Internet Law news, recently, "A former TV newsman in Philadelphia who said he felt threatened by his co-anchor's "rising star" was sentenced to six months of house arrest after hacking into her e-mail and leaking gossip that contributed to her downfall". This displays exactly how easy it is to "hack". This article also ultimately displays the impact hacking can have on the victim in both their social life and professional lfie. In order to protect against hacking in general, I feel as if it is up to the individual to protect themselves. An individual can take numerous precautions in order to ensure this protection. Articles like this one display the obvious vulnerabilities of internet programs. Therefore it is up to each and everyone of us to look out for ourselves to avoid this type of invasion of privacy and those alike.
