1984 (Version 2.0)

There have been a number of results due to the sophistication of technology allowing individuals to collect personal information about others. The most obvious one that i can think of right off the bat is the use of Parasite programs by hackers to monitor the internet activities of other people. The hackers use programs to see: what sites are being visited, credit card information and interests just by hacking into someones computer without them knowing or having any idea that someone is watching. This allows people to steal identities and personal information to help themselves gain access to something or somewhere. This also allows hackers to obtain information to online bank records, personal email, as well as all types of password protected information to be freely viewed just by using a parasite program.
I dont know if this is true or not but i think that the programs(if there are programs) should be illegal. Hackers may be writing the programs themselves or there are programs that are sold. But I question how they even came about. I do know that some families or even school use programs such as these to monitor children while they are on the computer and I think that its fine for those reasons, but using the program with in intent to do harm is just not right and should be illegal.
