Ruben Edison Hacktavist

In today’s society it is very easy to stalk people and get personal information. The season is because people today post personal information because other do. People post emails, phone numbers, and even their home address for the public to view. Most of this information can be found on social media sites such as twitter and Facebook. As we head into the future, technology has made our lives easier and more vulnerable. The reason being is that hackers are now looked upon as terrorists and also the voice of people. They are beginning to be referred as hacktivists. Hackers seen themselves as the strong kid in who had low self esteem and one day punched someone and realized how strong they are. Hackers consider themselves to be the final boss of the internet. Most stand for freedom on the internet and if companies try to censor information they feel as if it is their duty to stop the censorship. Many people love for what they stand for and other hate that websites and networks can be hacked. The PlayStation Network was hacked and had thousands of credit card numbers stolen from their database. Other political figures such as Sarah Palin had her personal email hacked into. Hackers want for the truth to be available to the public as well as accessible. It is now that people that live in their parents basement can have a role and be able to stand up to global giants and be seen as voices of the people. While others use the ability to hack into site for their own pleasure. With the ease of accessing the internet increases and more people going online, it is easy for hackers to gain access to sensitive information of others but also stand up for freedom on the internet.
