Nowadays, with the development of Internet, our life is ameliorated a lot. However, every coin has two sides. Internet also causes the problem of the leakage of personal information, which is caused by three means as follows.
Firstly, some people sell the obtained informations to pursue illegal profits. Those people have access to a lot of personal informations and they sell it for money. For example, the 25-year-old man named Yang who is working in a education company and he figures out the company has a lot of students' parents informations. So he copys it and sells those informations on the Internet and obtains 10000RMB. Thus, the selling of information is one means that makes our personal informations leaking.
Secondly, some Apps obtain the right to our personal informations and these Apps may be hacked or these Apps use their rights to achieve their selling goals, so lots of informations are leaking. Our smartphones are loaded with many Apps acquire some rights to our personal informations, including the photos, the files and other devices. The footprints of our browsing the Internet is used by some Apps. Take Eleme for instance, Eleme obtains the informations by voice recognition and then analyze it. Then Eleme pushes the service to us so exactly on the spot that shocks the consumers. However, other Apps is doing right, but easy to be hacked by some hackers.
Thirdly, we are consciously giving our personal informations away. The Internet is teamed with the questionnaires and forms that require us to fill those out, some of them promise awards that makes us willing to give our informations away. If you fill it out, your informations become the tools of other people, which will help them to make illegal money. Thus, we should pay more attention to these "traps" that will endanger our personal information security.
Internet is at its initial process and has many problems. We should make full advantage of its shinning points and avoid the hidden "traps" that will give other people's chance to hurt ourselves and our financial security. In order to protect our informations, we should focus on the three means that will lead to our personal information leakage.
