Physical: Hackers have gotten terribly smart, and are attacking the government, universities, and just plain ol people. People are always watching you, even online..
Psychological: These hackers are smart! You can outsmart them but its nearly impossible.They are workers for someone who owns a business. It is a big business.
Cultural: In the U.S. there is not known of a actual business but somewhere in Russia there is a marketplace, like a cubical of hackers doing this to thousands of people.
Social: The hackers are outsmarting you from your email like spam. They are young people just like me and my peers that do this to manipulate people and take there hard earned money.
Temporal: With technology advancing, older people will become more prey. Younger people aren't as prone to just click and sign up for random sites anymore. This is prevalent and needs to be stopped, but who can do that?
I think part of what makes young people so vulnerable is that they take technology for granted. I remember a time without the internet and cell phones. So for me the idea of putting something online was a big deal. Also just the shear amount of data that we use as Americans is insane. We don't think anything of how much stuff is saved on our computers, phones and tablets. I like the idea of saving files to the cloud but isn't that even more dangerous? It's hard to know what to do.
