DEEP/DARK WEB PROPONENTS
The people building the darknet are idealists who
believe passionately in the right to privacy
They say our battle for privacy is pathetic, we lost it a long
time ago
We have to redefine privacy, our world is undergoing very
accelerated change
As long as some work for surveillance, we must continue to
work for privacy
A place to escape the ever-watchful eye of big
brother, to know real freedom, although most people
just want enough freedom to be comfortable
The
threat to our privacy
is being seriously threatened
because of these
emerging and in place technologies
,
Increase amount of images online and increase ability of facial recognition
Increase computing power available via cloud computing
Ubiquitous computing via vast networks and mobile devices
Government surveillance using corporate network providers servers to collect data
Extensive, sophisticated hacking as a business
Acceptance of human chipping
We are trading our convenience for privacy
People are more savvy in using technology, but
do not know what it can do to
steal their privacy
Internet is borderless, but laws are national
, therefore, it is diffi cult to
regulate the internet
People fail to do the basic security best practices
like keeping their computer
updated and using secure passwords and guarding the information, therefore
privacy invasion is growing
THREAT TO OUR PRIVACY SUMMARY

Natural disasters
cannot be prevented but can be planned
for (backups, redundancy, etc.)
Careless behaviors
, such as forgetting to perform proper
backups of one’s computer, not installing security updates
and tools, leaving computer so that is easily accessible
DENIAL/DISRUPTION OF SERVICE
The Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange
closed. Banks were unable to process transactions. Workers
rushed to save important documents — including Cook County
birth, death and marriage certifi cates dating back to 1871 —
stored in subterranean levels of offi ce buildings.
The fl ood became national news and led Gov. Jim Edgar and
President George H.W. Bush to declare Chicago a disaster area.
