The opinion that the level of high technology requires the same high morality from humanity seems to us more and more understandable by as our society develops more and more technically and being improved.
Today it’s no secret that through smartphones, computers, surveillance cameras and all kinds of DVRs for it’s easy for society to spy, which is what governments of almost all do countries, as well as leading corporations in the world.
However, it is naive to believe that this is all and limited. Total surveillance, according to independent researchers, penetrates into every home, every corner of the planet thanks to and other modern the things we use in everyday life.

And no one plainly does not know who and to what extent collects this information, how in fact, it is used, not to mention the danger such a mass control.
But such a danger does exist.

Hacking them, the hacker emphasized, doesn’t no difficulty since most credentials entries use the default password (isn’t it funny?) – 123456.
Cyber burglar, like car manufacturers, like any power structures (yes who wants), could thus track any a car, moreover, instantly turn off (stop) hundreds of thousands transport units. As a hacker told Motherboard, he did not even try to do this with at least one machine for reasons security. But any hacker who is not burdened with moral principles, can do it with one touch of a computer mouse, thereby causing a global catastrophe on the planet.
