In this post, discuss how the issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media.
New media is a growing source that is convenient to everyone because of the speed of technology that’s taking over the globe. Information can travel at the speed of light, which makes it easy for security to protect sensitive information. People who are intelligent enough can use available fast technology and resources to hack into systems such as credit card companies. In the article “Target works on security-heavy credit cards, after breach”, by Dara Kerr, she talked about the company target who works hard on security to protect credit card users. They said that credit cards with credits that encrypt personal information are harder to hack. It’s clear to say that if you have a credit card, try to change it to a card with a chip to prevent yourself from being hacked.
I think you meant the opposite when you wrote "Information can travel at the speed of light, which makes it easy for security to protect sensitive information". I think the chip function is a smart move by the credit card companies. I'm not too sure how it works to be honest but I'm hoping that it holds a higher security output than just the swipe only credit cards.
