Answer 3

Answer The sad answer is that there will never be a true and final solution to hackers. As long as society relies on electronic devices there will always be people who try and abuse them to make money, commit crime or influence politics. However, governments, private institutions and yes average citizens can minimize the risk hackers pose by following a few simple rules. Organizations have to be security minded and put the safety of their customers before profit. This means when making a product thinking of the possible ways a nefarious person may try and circumvent security and then design ways to prevent such abuse. Taking these steps cost additional money. Prioritizing security often times means paying cyber security consultants and employees large sums of money. It also means at times releasing a less attractive product.

Imagine a tech company wants to release a service that allows people to save all of their passwords in one central location. Now if a cyber criminal were to access the place the passwords are saved it can be disastrous for clients. Think of all of the services you use passwords for. Banking information and social media accounts are accessed using a password and usually the same email account. A company should take steps to make it harder for someone to break in. For example, making users provide an answer to a security question as well as a email address and password every time they login. This means making the user experience less attractive and companies are worried about the bottom line even if it ends up costing them much more in the future in the form of data breaches. The important thing is be very careful with what you do online. Do not bank online, send anyone personal information and only do business with trusted companies on and offline.
