People's Defencelessness; E-crime, the Existing Threat
People's Defencelessness
The digitalization is growing fast from day to day from hour to hour and from minute to minute. We are facing newer technological innovations so the everyday people don't really have the time and the possibility to understand and learn about those innovations. Our defencelessness is unavoidable against the technology. Our communications with the world, with our partners and friends are getting faster and faster as well. The personal communication between people has changed to the technological transmitted communications. We are giving out thousands of information and data from our hands with the help of the technology which we trust in. We trust in it because it is new, fast and we regard as if it is safe. While we don't even think that data hunters are taking over. They are getting entangled into our life to steal out a small peace from it so that they can use the information for their interest. They are developing the technology from day to day from hour to hour and from minute to minute. Stealing and copying the data, our life is a bigger threat than a physical attack. We should protect ourselves against this attack continuously and consciously. We should know what, when and how we share the information whether it is formal or informal. Keep the speed with the technological developing in order to know we can't trust unconditionally in the technology and to our data are felt to be safe, namely: our life.

E-crime, the existing threat
Nowadays during digital times, when all of our lives are on cards, in data, codes and profiles we should be aware of avoiding being victims of e-crime. It is an existing and a real threat against all of us. It is not surprising that the law prosecutes e-thieves seriously with not only fines but prison as well.
Between the hackers there are a lot of malicious people who attack the banks' servers for customers' data to steal money from their accounts or to cause abuse. They also are hacking mobile phones to send messages and make calls on our bills, they try to break our computer in the office for secret business information and we can continue the list.
If it’s not enough… there is a market for these hacking tools and applications so the enthusiastic beginners, even children can try, maybe they don't want to steal or blackmail us but they can seriously affect our computer and make it more vulnerable for other hackers.
The banks, telecommunication companies and the businesses that are making electronic software goods in them, try to make their products safe and do everything to provide our data security.
It's not enough, we can't leave this work only for them. We have to know our rights, we have to know what kind of data can be asked from us, we have to know how to keep our codes safe. If we need help, we shouldn’t be deterred from asking such questions.
