that he personally knows what it feels like to have his privacy violated, when he spoke about his experience of having hackers break into his campaign’s website. Additionally President Obama announced that as part of the new White House cyber security office he will appoint a federal privacy officer “dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and civil liberties of the American people”.

June is Internet Safety Month, providing an opportunity to draw attention to the need for ongoing education and consumer awareness of online safety. This month there will be a number of government, industry and non-profit organization initiatives to help further the education and awareness of consumers about online safety.

Internet Safety Month serves as an important reminder to consider the information we are putting online, and how we might be revealing more information than we intend; awareness is a major goal of the Consumer Privacy Awareness project.
