A Chilling Lesson on Data Privacy and Security: Reflections from a Pizza Order Gone Wrong
Our professor played this video in class, and it really opened my eyes to the importance of data privacy and security. In the video, a man trying to order a pizza was bombarded with personal details that the pizza company employee knew about him, like his medical records, financial information, and even criminal history. It was scary to see how much private data the company had access to without the man's consent.
As I watched, I realized how easy it is for organizations to mishandle and misuse people's personal information if they don't have proper safeguards in place. The video showed that the pizza company's system was connected to all sorts of databases containing sensitive details about the customer, which is a big no-no when it comes to data privacy and security.
It made me understand that companies need to be very careful about how they collect, store, and use people's private information. They should only have access to the data they really need and nothing more. They also need to have strong security measures to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.
The video was a wake-up call for me to be more aware of how my personal information is being handled by different organizations. It's not something we usually think about, but it's so important to protect our privacy and keep our sensitive data secure.
I'm glad our professor showed us this video because it taught me in a simple and relatable way how crucial data privacy and security are in today's world. It's a reminder for companies to be responsible with people's personal information and for individuals to be mindful of who they share their data with.
