Search for Me!

I was quite inquisitive about this class topic. When I searched my name in Google, it says there I'm a famous celebrity in a foreign country. Other Google results show that I have a profile in facebook.com and friendster.com in which I really didn't subscribe to any of those. Quite bizarre and interesting! The ones that I am concerned and really worried in our high-tech world are the licentious digeratis, such as identity thefts and phishing. If most of us are using McAfee and Norton Antivirus to prevent identity thefts, I use Linux in my computer to protect me from hackers. I also don't purchase anything online except for trusted websites like amazon.com, alaskaair.com, jetblue.com, among others. I use spamguard in my e-mail plus I don't believe any lottery or sweepstakes e-mail that claim I won $ 8.5 million or $14.7 million but on a condition that I have to give my full private information and pay a shipping cost of $200 through Western Union! It is so ludicrous and outrageous! Those hackers are driving me nuts! Who knows? Maybe next time you search your name, you'll find yours related to a porn star!
