In a lecture titled "Cyberphobia: identity, trust, security and the internet" Edward Lucas made the argument that the internet was inherently built to not be secured. "The internet was designed by a small group of computer scientists looking for a way to share information quickly. In the last twenty years it has expanded rapidly to become a global information superhighway, available to all comers, but also wide open to those seeking invisibility. This potential for anonymity means neither privacy nor secrecy are really possible for law-abiding corporations or citizens."

Do you agree that the way the internet was built and the dramatic expansion of HOW we use it means we may never actually be secure in our Data?

thanks so much for the response!

I guess my follow up would be how do you protect people from themselves?

Requiring a Password and people just use "password1", or leave themselves logged in on public computers.

Secondarily, we see major institutions get hacked people of one person who may have access to alot of information...would there be a way to segment more data so a breach isn't universal?
