Hota data
The theft of data, often involving personal information about customers and employees, is increasing dangerously fast. After data on 40m credit-card accounts. were stolen from the computers of a data-processing firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, business leaders and politicians everywhere are taking notice.
Data theft accounted for over $50 billion in losses last year in America alone. Careless information-security practices have left vulnerable the personal information - such as financial details, health records and Social Security numbers - of around 50m Americans.
Some simple, cheap measures could help protect personal data.
Europe has avoided the spectacular data-protection problems that have been happening in America. That may be in part because it started to take the problem seriously a decade ago. The European Union's 1995 data-protection directive requires firms to assess their data-protection practices and to document how they handle sensitive information. These simple rules have encouraged firms to address the issue of data security. But the biggest weakness of the European directive is that it does notrequire firms to report privacy breaches. As a result, it is impossible to say how effective it has really been.
In Japan, companies have to make public announcement when privacy breaches take place. America and Europe should do the same.
«Дорога Алісія,
Я сподіваюся, що цей лист застане тебе в найкращому настрої.
Коли я відвідувала тебе минулого тижня у тебе було багато невирішених проблем, і ти була трохи пригнічена з-за цього. Я сподіваюся, що зараз все добре! Ти знаєш, що ти завжди можеш покластися на мене і розділити всі свої проблеми зі мною.
Я також пишу тобі, щоб запросити на вечірку, як ти, напевно, пам’ятаєш у мене День народження 27 березня. Ми будемо святкувати в ресторані, я сподіваюся, що це стане хорошим шансом для тебе відпочити і познайомитися з новими людьми (я запросила багато друзів зі свого університету).
До речі, як пройшов День народження твого брата? Я ще раз вибачення за те, що не змогла прийти – я хворіла і мені довелося залишатися в ліжку. Я посилаю йому подарунок через нашого друга Бена. Йому виповнилося 25, так? Я буду щаслива також побачити його на своєму Дні народженні.
Бекі.»
Объяснение:
How are you? I am in the capital of England — in London. My parents and I always dreamt about seeing this nice city.
There are a lot of beautiful old buildings. We have alredy seen Westminster Abbey, Big Ben (now it called Elizabeth’s Tower), The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, London Bridge, The Tower of london and The Waxworks Madame Tussaunds Museum. There are the models of famous people from pop stars to prime ministers made from wax in this museum. They look like real. It’s so interesting.
My parents and I are walking on Trafalgar Square now. There is Nelson’s Column in its centre which is guarded by four lion statues at its base. By the way, I sent you this postcard with a picture of Trafalgar Square.
The weather is not fine today, it’s foggy and rainy. But it doesn’t spoil our walking.
We took much photos. Next week we will be at home and I’ll show you them.
Don’t miss the chance to visit England and London.
