The Cambridge Analytica Scandal - Protecting yourself from data theft does not have to be complicated


Things are not always what they seem to be so it is important to keep an eye open toward possible threats. Unfortunately, social media platforms and other places that ask for personal information can’t always be trusted.
We’re living in a time when personal data is apparently worth more than gold. Unscrupulous data miners have no problem getting as much data as they can about you and making money with your information. A lot of money.
Millions of people have been affected by shady data schemes that generate big dollars so it can be estimated that millions of dollars are entering the hands of scandalous people.
Unfortunately greed and promises of money test the hearts of men that are supposed to be trustworthy pillars of society. When the desire for riches outweighs the desire to be a person of integrity so-called great men and women fall prey to the lure of a paycheck at the expense of unsuspecting people like you.
On March 17, 2018, it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a data analysis firm, had collected the user data of over 50 million Facebook users. However, Facebook has now reported that the number of users affected is actually 87 million. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is under heat for the social media platform’s soft data sharing rules that some claim made all of this possible.
