Dear Tech (Theft) Nology,

               I'll skip the polite 'how are you' and jump right into it. I applaud your recent advancements and look forward to your future endeavors but, I must express my concerns about the weight on the opposite side of the scale-your disadvantages; specifically online stealing, better termed, hacking. 
During the year many cases of this situation has occurred and I am not pointing fingers at any specific individual but I am questioning why you are taking so long to alleviate it. A few months ago, the biggest cyber crime involving hacking was recorded by the United States Government. This crime also involved credit card fraud and cost the targeted companies over $300 million. Five individuals were later charged and two suspects are still in custody. It is only a matter of time before an even worst crime be committed knowing that you are doing little to nothing to combat such situations. A much more recent case regarding hacking involves renowned software maker, Adobe. The company has reported that the source code for their proprietary software, Photoshop, has been stolen and an unconfirmed over 2.9 million accounts had been breached. This isn't the first time a major software company's security has been breached, after all private accounts on Facebook and Microsoft are frequently attacked. This begs the question, is anyone's information safe online these days? From company servers to clouds to social networks to personal information systems, nothing is left without being breached in this age of TECHNOLOGY. I'll admit your efforts to curb this problem have been successful yet insufficient. Your creation of antiviruses, firewalls, etc are limited compared to the wide variety of viruses, key generators, etc that are constantly produced.
       In conclusion, tratar de mantenerse al día con uno mismo.

                                                                                             Sincerely,
ME

  1. Well I guess there is a downside to everything even "Mr.Technology", I think that no matter how stringent internet security gets the Human will always find a way to beat the system. So I don't think its from lack of trying but more so that there is always a "man" who is better more so at the bad stuff. :( SAD
