Summary | Hackers have found new ways to enter people's computers more effectively. Online advertisements can run a malware script as soon as one is on the website where the advertisement is shown - without clicking on it. This is dangerous for all websites that display advertising - the biggest advertisers online being Facebook and Google.

Summary | Many companies now take advantage of the huge amounts of data that we create on a daily basis by being online and carrying a smartphone on us at all times. Facebook tracks all our movements online even when we are not signed up. Our smartphone collects data about our whereabouts. Companies can buy this data to target us with specific advertising or to enhance their hiring process to include data from our social media activity. This way they can conduct analysis about how valuable each applicant would be to the company.

Companies give out surveys to their employees to find out about their values and preferences and then design their INstagram storytelling according to it.
