Risk Assesment

-Fraud: Unlikely, things that can be taken to prevent this would be putting precautions in order such as pin code surrounding credit card's or if the problem is online a complicated password backed by a good firewall etc to avoid hackers getting into your financial information

-Harrasment/Cyber Bullying: Likely, this can happen qiute easily but can be relatively easily avoided if you set your settings on things like facebook to private on only add people that you know or trust so that you feel more comfortable about what you publish on your site/facebook etc

-Plaguerism: Likely, this can happen fairley easily aswell but site's software in this age now reference the time that things are posted say for example on this blod site im using, if someone copyied ad pasted all of this risk assesment and someone viewed both they would be abe to see that i had posted it first because the time and date referencing it would be earlier then the other person

-Hacking: Unlikely, most people's internet's are provided through routers now and these routers provide firewalls inside them along with a firewall in your computer such as windows firewall this prevents password hacking attacks getting your personal information along side of this you can have sensible but cmplicated password that silly attempts from people you know cannot perpretrate your information

-Cyberterrorism: Possible, this can be avoided by not psoting information about say for example stratford college and talking about the infra structure becasue this could lead towards a trategy to penetrate the college's security and steal information making people's lives much harder
