Think of your average day: you wake up, probably check your mobile phone, get ready for your day, and head out the door for work. Maybe you stop for fuel for your vehicle and buy a cup of coffee (fuel for you!). At work, you log in to your computer or laptop and get started on answering emails, collaborating on sales orders and spreadsheets, and so on. Maybe your daily routine differs from this a little bit, but surely many can relate to at least some of these tasks.

What does the majority of these things involve? Computers! Think about it: checking your email or Facebook and other apps on your phone; buying fuel, coffee, or groceries; working on a computer (obviously) or a website like http://wt1store.su/. All of these involve computers and data, and believe it or not, that data can be a target for malicious users, criminal enterprises, and even state-sponsored hacking groups.

Why would someone want my data? Well, we send and receive all kinds of private data that has potential value to other people. We use websites that can contain personal information like our name, address, and social security number, we pay for products in stores and online using our credit or debit cards, and we keep personal and/or confidential information on our devices. These are all a part of our normal lives, things that we don't think twice about doing.

However, how would you feel if someone happened to get their hands on these things? Fears of someone making unauthorized purchases on your card, compromising your personal or private business information like tax records and proprietary programs, or even having your identity stolen wouldn't be far-fetched.

Unfortunately, those things can be seen as a potential income source for criminals. Through malware, deceit, or any other possible method, hackers will attempt to get your information, or even just hold it for ransom (just Google 'ransomware'). They simply know that there is value in your personal information and data, whether they use it personally or sell it to someone else.

We're not always aware of all of the personal data that we're putting out there, but as the internet, and the devices connected to it, continues to grow, we must learn to be cautious and educate ourselves on the potential threats. The below website has been use for illustration purposes only .
