Technology is heavily used today. We always leave our own footprint wherever we go, whether we use our own technology at home, school, or work. It could be your own information or information and data gathered while browsing the web. We put ourselves at risk by implementing or entering data and information into any application or browser without thinking or knowing that with just one click of a button, someone could be on the other end stealing our information.
