Is there such a thing as privacy and data security in this modern internet age? How safe is your private information? 15 years ago you could have assumed that the information which you did not want others to find out would have stayed private, and that perhaps government agencies and those who had been given permission would have been the only ones able to access your information. This is not the case any more. The internet and the boom in technology in general has meant that some government and info databases which were difficult to access in the recent past are now available for anyone, if they are prepared to do some research to try and find them. There are also websites which offer such services for a small fee, giving people access to all kinds of info about anyone, from cell phone reverse lookup directories to background checks and even criminal record lookups.
