The use of the Internet and social media comes with risks. Just as there are criminals in everyday life, the cyber
world has its own hackers, cyber criminals, and cybercrooks. They use sophisticated malware to disrupt
computer functioning. Common cyber crimes include phishing, identity theft, online harassment, and invasion of
privacy. Phishing websites can deceive users into entering personal information, such as home address,
citizenship number, social security number, or banking passwords, which can be used for malicious purposes.
Fortunately, a phishing filter can help eliminate this threat.
We can also take some precautions to prevent the cyber crimes. We should use strong, unique passwords and
enable two-factor authentication on all accounts. We shouldn’t click on links or download attachments from
unknown sources, and regularly update our antivirus and anti-malware software.

SPORTS – TODAY AND TOMORROW


According to the Cambridge Online Dictionary, e-sports is “the activity of playing computer games against other
people on the Internet, often for money, and often watched by other people using the Internet, sometimes at special
organized events”. It has completely replaced interests of many young people in traditional sports. This has a lot to do
with different opportunities it offers. First, it allows players to develop a career through playing. In addition, e-sports is
also a competition that brings people from all over the world together. Another difference is that e-sports tournaments
are gender-neutral and they offer far more opportunities for the disabled to compete.
The future of e-sports seems to be bright as in the case of a 16-year-old boy who became the best player in the world,
winning 3 million dollars thanks to e-sports. His income from just one tournament is even more than annual incomes
of some top athletes. Some predictions for the future of e-sports are as follows:
 Most people will be familiar with the expression “e-sports”.
 Most people will be familiar with e-sports, so the popularity of e-sports will grow.
 E-sports will become an olympic game.
 Brand investments in e-sports will increase, so e-sports will generate more revenue than many traditional
sports and it will be as profitable as traditional sports.
 Major media organizations will broadcast e-sports competitions. They will pay high amounts of money for
livestreaming rights.
