The internet has transformed the way information is shared and consumed, but it has also created problems that did not exist before. What are the most serious problems associated with the internet and what solutions can you suggest?

The way data is exchanged and utilized was changed by the

internet

, but many issues which did not exist previously has

also

developed. The main problem

this

causes is a security threat and the most viable solution is a public awareness campaign warning people about the dangers. The principal problem associated with the

internet

is that it can cause several security issues.

In other words

, confidential data

that is

stored or shared on the

internet

by people or organizations can be easily hacked by the

cyber

criminals. The inevitable corollary of

this

is the loss of valuable information and money.

For instance

, a recent article published in TimesNow newspaper, which is renowned for its accuracy and fairness, revealed that more than 40% of the USA's personal Facebook accounts were hacked by the Russian hackers and they demanded money to release their accounts. To tackle

this

problem the government should launch a publicity campaign in the media to educate people about the dangers of cybercrimes.

That is

to say that states should make people aware of various

cyber

crimes and the ways to avoid them, which would result in people being more careful while using the

internet

.

For example

, an awareness campaign in India about the need to install antivirus software to avoid

cyber

crimes resulted in a 40% fewer

cyber

crime in the year 2018. In conclusion, sharing and consuming data on the

internet

is a major issue that can result in various security problems,

however

, they can be addressed by educating people about the dangers.
