Employers and consumers alike must pay special attention to privacy and security as the consequences of failing to secure these areas may result in serious drawbacks to the computer user’s protection.

Spam, identity theft, and hacking are just a few of the serious issues that result when computer privacy and security laws are broken.   On a larger, government scale, Homeland Security and the nature of our government’s safety rest mainly in computer privacy and security.  No one is immune, from the top echelons of society to the common everyday computer user, privacy and security is critical to the well being of our society.
