“In many ways, it’s surprising that this kind of manipulation hasn’t been seen before.” Really? Is this true? This just seems impossible. Why wouldn’t there by any? I guess maybe I think people who want to watch the world burn really want to see it suffer. Maybe they think the truth is scarier than a lie? Especially nowadays and last weeks cancel culture, just about anything, truth or not, can ruin a persons reputation, it’s surprising that hackers wouldn’t just want to rip some people down. I vaguely remember the Sony hacks, and only because The Interview was pushed back because of it and my friends and I were excited to see it. I personally never really read into it or learned anything more about the hack. As far as I know, I’ve never been hacked but I know people that have and nobody really talks about it. Every once in a blue moon someone I follow on Instagram will get hacked and post Ray Bans 20 times in one day. But then whoever it was just fixes the account or deletes it and that’s the end. Nothing ever comes of it. Nobody mentions it ever again.  I don’t understand computer science or how the hell to “hack” anything, and I don’t get the point of hacking instagrams like that either. Hacking is a lot like the creation of the internet- something my brain just won’t wrap around. 

The ABC Top 5 Worst Hacks really freaked me out. I definitely had a Yahoo account in the years they got hacked and I’ve definitely stayed at a Marriott Starwood. I mean to my knowledge I’ve never had anything weird happen but hey good luck to anyone who wants to steal my identity, you’ll return it. I guess I get the point of hacking, but I feel like there are easier ways to take money or whatever else people look for.

Snowden. I don’t remember this movie being released, and I don’t remember this true story happening either. And I like things like this and the people in it I don’t know how I missed this one. I also did not run and put tape over my laptop camera (or put my phone in the microwave), did any of you? It’s scary to think that the government can just stalk its citizens and have the ability to turn on laptop cameras to begin with but honestly, it’s not that bad. I guess I know how exciting my life is, and it’s not so exciting that someone else would want to watch me through cameras or my web browsing or anything else. This is the thing, yes it might freak some people out but I guess from my point of view I’d rather be casually spied on rather than nothing at all. Because if they’re doing it to little old me, then that means they’re really keeping an eye on the people that matter. The bad people in this world. And that’s what this is for, not to spy on people for porn (even though some fetishes really walk the line), or for other realistically trivial things.

Weekly News: As much as I hate politics, this is the breaking news for today.
