            The article "Computer scientists develop a simple tool to tell if websites suffered a data breach" written by Daniel Kane discusses exactly what the title is implying a tool was developed that will be able to tell if a website has suffered a data breach. The tool works by monitoring the activity of email accounts associated with the websites that are being hacked or have been hacked. Through the data that was collected it was discovered that almost 1 percent of the websites that were tested during the 18-month testing period were hacked as they suffered data breaches. No one is above any of this including the top big players everyone is vulnerable to being hacked. The tool worked by having a bot use an email account with the same password as the website it is associated with. After doing so then there would be a waiting period in which it would be seen if the information would be leaked. In order for the experiment to work correctly a control group was used to make sure that in fact there was a problem within the infrastructure of the websites. This new tool will affect us all positively as now we will be able to tell which websites are unsafe to use in order to protect all of our private information. Towards me the use of this tool will allow me to safeguard all of my private information that I put in some of the websites that require it. In the end the tool will become of great
use today as we all live in a world which revolves around technology .

In lesson 10 we were required to create a game called Color Sleuth. In the game basically there are four similar colors and the objective is to choose the color that is different to the rest of them. While we coded the game in App Lab and made finishing touches to it we then were required to put it in on a webpage so it can be seen in our portfolio. Placing on the webpage allowed viewers to play the game so people can see if th...

The image of myself was suppose to go  before the paragraph. Now to add an image to an HTML code, the image tag needs to be included in the code. Also the image source has to be included which can be done if the image is dragged into the software it is lines of codes are. The dimensions of the image can be manipulated by setting the height and width. Actually, only one valu...
