Project Description
For this project, we worked on our digital literacy skills by identifying and analyzing the risks and vulnerabilities that come with the use of mobile phones and computers.
Osisi Ikenna Nicholas, a corps member, was sentenced to one-month community service for his involvement in internet-related fraud by the Ibadan Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Him alongside 38 others all received one-count charges. Depending on the crime, the sentences range from a fine to one year in prison, or one to six months of community service. The best way to prevent this from happening would be to use encryption, VPN, as well as disabling analytics on the device. Also, the installation of privacy extensions to the browser would hinder this incident from transpiring.

The Coleman family of Lincoln County were hit hard by the repercussions of identity theft. All of the bank accounts in their family have been emptied, the children's video game accounts have been compromised, and the culprit has also applied for nearly 40 other credit cards after the family froze theirs. The best way to prevent this from happening would be to institute multi-factor authentication into the accounts, so even if the hackers get access to the account, they will not be able to enter it.

Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned
The very first thing that I learned was that there was a specific section of Google that was created just to deliver national news'. I also learned that victims of identity theft do not get their normal lives back as quickly as I had believed they did. Lastly, I discovered that unfortunate crises like these occur all the time, every single day.
