Introduction
The information technology have helped in enhancing the life style of the human being in
the world. The use of the information technology in the market have modified the technological
aspects of the human being. There are various associated with the privacy of the information
technology.
This report discusses about the privacy issues in the networking. There has been a proper
analysis of the threats in the info ration technology on the networks.
This report outlines the basic threats that are prevailing in the network. A proper
evaluation of the threats has been done in the report. There are various recommendation have
been provided that helps in mitigating the challenges in the network security.
Identification to issues
The use of the internet has increases the threats to the privacy of the personal data and
information of the users all over the world [1]. Cybercriminals are causing major risk to the
personal data d information of the users. There are gas been many reports of the cyber-attacks in
the world that have caused data loss in the organization and at personal level.
Technology with weak security
Many new technologies are released in the market in a daily basis. However, the security
protocols of these devices and technologies are not so good to prevent form cyber-attacks in the
world [2]. The hackers cab easily breach into these devices and breach all personal information.
Social media attacks

Hackers are now focusing in the social media including the Facebook and Twitter. Many
users are sharing their personal information over these social media websites [3]. This has been
attracting the hackers to attack their accounts and breach their personal data and information.
Third-party entry
Security experts have seen chance in mobile phone security since the initial of
availability to Internet. Considering the way of life's unbreakable dependence on mobile phones
and how little cybercriminals have focused on them, it makes a cataclysmic risk [4]. Target is the
ideal specimen of a noteworthy system attacks through outsider section focuses [5]. The
worldwide retailer's HVAC merchant were deplorable worker whose qualifications were stolen
and used to take money related informational indexes for 70 million clients [6].
Lack of Encryption
The lack in the encryption of data has been a major cause for the cyber-attacks in the
network. The data packets needs to be encrypted during transmission. Ensuring sensitive
business information and still is measure couple of businesses presently cannot seem to grasp, in
spite of its adequacy [7]. The encrypted from data and information in the network helps in
maintaining the security of the data. The data packets over the network are transmitted with
encryption.[8].
Analysis
The various cyber-attacks in the network has been causing a great threat to the privacy of
the users over the network. The lack in the security of the data and information over the network
have caused cyber-attacks over the network. The security of the personal data over the network

can be accessed by using the IP address of the user over the network. Data assurance laws are in
compel in all countries. The data standard hidden these laws is the prerequisite of educated
assent for preparing by the information subject [9].
These improvements have on a very basic level changed practices of data innovation.
Even inside the scholarly research field, momentum practices of composing, submitting,
inspecting and distributing writings, for example, this one would be incomprehensible without
data innovation. In the meantime, many gatherings group data about distributions, creators, and
so on. This empowers suggestions on which paper researchers should read, however in the
meantime manufactures a detailed profile of every individual researcher [10].
As network expands for accessing the data, it additionally for specialists to act in light of
the new wellsprings of data. When these sources contain personal data, risks of damage,
imbalance, separation, and loss of self-sufficiency effortlessly rise [11]. Besides, frameworks
instead of clients may choose which data is shown, in this manner defying clients just with news
that matches their profiles [12]. The lack in the security of the data and information over the
network have caused cyber-attacks over the network. The security of the personal data over the
network can be accessed by using the IP address of the user over the network.
Recommendations
There are various techniques that helps in preventing the personal data and information
for hacking. The users are recommended not to share their personal information over the internet
including social media. The personal data and information includes contact number, address, age
and banking information. These are not secure over the internet. The use of an updated antivirus

and firewall helps in providing security to the system. This prevents viruses and malwares from
entering into network of users. Therefore, it prevents form the cyber-attacks over the internet.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that the cyber security over the network. Many new technologies are
released in the market in a daily basis. The hackers can easily breach into these devices and
breach all personal information. There are various recommendations provided in the report for
mitigating the challenges in the risk of the personal data and information.
