1.2 - I can explain what risks there may be in using collaborative technologies and how to keep them to a minimum.
Scenario 1: You are working on-line collaboratively, including the use of forums, what risks could happen if you give out or display the following on a website available to anyone to see:
Personal information : People would know more about you than they actually need to such as your D.O.B, Address and contact details i.e phone number and email. This can lead to fraud using your details.
Your images: People can pretend to be you with your images by using your image on social media. They can photo shop your image and distribute it all everywhere including social media for example Facebook, Instagram etc.
Confident information like banks details: Keep that sort of information private because you`re going to end up losing money from your account or the person will take your money out.
Scenario 2: At school we all use Google drive to save and edit our work. The Google servers save your work after every modification.
List all the risks you can think of if the Google Servers only saved your work every 30 minutes automatically?
- You`d have to wait every 30 mins for it to save your work.
- If you don`t work within that time frame your work won`t be saved.
- If your computer crashes, your work will be lost.
