Purpose
For this project, we are identifiying risks, threats, and vulnerabilities of computers. Students will search for information in reference to cybersecurity.
Lessons Learned
Throughout this project, I learned that it is very easy for something to get overtaken. Usually in the news, I wouldn't think of technology and sercurity being the headline. I didn't know about using google's search engine to explore articles. This piece of the project helped for completion.

Uber Hacked
The article I read happened yesterday, December 12th, 2022. This data breach happened after a actor leaked an employee email address, reports, and more personal information. Named 'UberLeaks', the data was stolen and put the company at risk. This hacker published data breaches and leaked archives used by Uber. To prevent this, we have to be careful who we send information out to.
