The internet is pretty awesome, we know this.

我們都知道網路是個很讚的東西。

It's what allowed my animator to create our wonderful Life Noggin universe!

它讓我的動畫師可以創造出這個美妙的 Life Noggin 世界。

But as cool as the internet can be, it can also connect people in bad, malicious ways.

但雖然網路很讚，但它也能聚集那些圖謀不軌的人。

It can be a place for hackers and data thieves to steal your personal information and then sell it to the highest bidder.

網路世界也是駭客和數據竊賊的溫床，他們會竊取你的個人資訊，再賣給出價最高的投標人。

So that makes me wonder, just how valuable is your information?

但讓我好奇的是你的個資到底值多少錢呢？

The numbers vary between sources on a bunch of this stuff.

個資的價碼會因其來源而異。

But your credit card details could be worth anywhere from say $5 to $15 or more depending on how complete the information is, while the login info to your favorite streaming service could go for about $10 to the right buyer.

你的信用卡個資大約值 5~15 美金、甚至有可能更高，端看資料有多完整，而你登入串流媒體的帳密大約值 10 美金。

Often times the more the information is tied to your financials, and the more it's something that you can't easily change, the more it's worth to internet thieves.

通常跟財務相關的資訊和無法輕易變更的資料，對網路竊賊來說都會比較值錢。

That's why your health record is a big one.

所以你的健康紀錄才會成為他們的目標。

A report from the FBI back in 2014 said that cybercriminals could sell electronic health records, or EHRs, on the black market at a rate of about $50 per partial record.

2014 年，美國聯邦調查局的報告表示，網路罪犯會在黑市販賣電子病歷，而部分的資料就要價 50 美元。

To see the scope of how much that can add up, they reported that in the first half of 2013, there were over two million health care records compromised — at least that they knew about.

為了瞭解有多少資料外洩，聯邦調查局回報，就他們所知，在 2013 年上半年就有超過 200 萬筆醫療紀錄受竊。

It can be pretty difficult to know when there's a data breach in the healthcare space, often taking longer to identify than other types of hacking.

要發現醫療保健系統裡的數據外洩非常困難，而且跟其他個資竊案比起來，通常要花上更久的時間鑑定。

And these types of attacks are likely going to get even worse.

這類型的侵害也比其他資料被竊取來得更為嚴重。

An expert on cyber security said that ransomware attacks on hospitals are estimated to have a fivefold increase by the year 2021 compared to what they were in 2018.

網路安全的專家表示，到了 2021 年，醫院遭勒索軟體攻擊的事件預估會增長五倍。

Though it's not even just malicious hacking that you have to worry about.

但你要擔心的可不只有惡意的駭客入侵。

A Protenus review of health data breaches in 2016 found that out of the 450 incidences that they found, only a little under 27% of them were from hacking.

2016 年，一份針對醫療數據外洩的 Protenus 評論發現在 450 起資料外洩中，大約只有 27% 是駭客入侵所導致。

With a mix of wrongdoing and human error, insiders in the healthcare space were actually responsible for about 43% of the incidences.

除了駭客的犯罪行為又有人為疏失，醫療從業人員其實要為個資失竊案負上 43% 的責任。

You can apply this same logic to your own personal devices — anyone who has physical access to your information can steal if it's not protected.

個人裝置裡的資料會受竊也是同樣的道理，如果你的資料沒有受到保護的話，任何能夠取得資訊的人都能進一步將之竊取。

But how do actual hackers or scammers go about stealing your information?

但駭客跟詐欺犯究竟是怎麼竊取你的個資的呢？

Well, one way is through phishing.

其中一個方法是靠網絡釣魚。

Phishing is basically when a scammer uses fraudulent messages or copycat websites to get you to share valuable personal information or install things like ransomware on your devices that can lock you out of important files on your computer.

網絡釣魚是指網路竊賊會運用假訊息或山寨網站讓你鍵入有價值的個資，或讓你在裝置上下載勒索病毒，加密你電腦中重要的檔案。

Ransomware is a type of malware, or "malicious software", which is a broad term for certain software that's was created to gain access to or damage your devices, usually without you knowing about it until it's too late.

勒索病毒是一種惡意程式或惡意軟體，這個廣義詞是指那些會入侵或破壞裝置的軟體，而且在你發現惡意軟體時，通常為時已晚。

Another big way for people to steal your info, and one that you might not be thinking about, is if you are ever using an insecure network, like a public wifi.

另一個竊取個資的方式你可能很難想像，那就是使用不安全的網路，如公共免費 wifi。

Data that you send over this type of accessible connection is typically not secure or encrypted, which leaves you open to attacks.

經過這種管道傳送的資料通常沒有被加密也很不安全，這都會讓你的個資暴露在危險之中。

To internet thieves, using a public wifi is kinda like getting rid of all the security at a bank.

對網路竊賊來說，用公共免費 wifi 來竊取個資就像通過銀行的層層保安。

So how much do you think your information worth? Let me know the price tag in the common section below.

你會好奇有沒有人能夠駭進你的身體嗎？看看這支影片吧！

Implantable RFID chips are one of the most popular choices. These are commonly used in pets, but in humans, can be programmed to unlock doors or smartphnoes.

可植入的無線射頻辨識晶片非常受歡迎，這種晶片很常植入寵物身上，如果植入人體的話，便可以設定來打開門鎖或解鎖手機。
