As soon as you share any type of information online, it becomes open to all. Phone calls, messages, emails and credit card details, can be gathered by cyber criminals. However, no longer is there a threat just from cyber criminals, but a threat of a cyberwar. The remediation portrays the sounds of cyberwar, highlighting the various ways in which data can be manipulated. Ringtone, typing and email notification sounds are included in the SoundCloud.
Cyberwar is extremely dangerous for all citizens, especially when it’s aimed at military or conflicting purposes. It can occur on a larger scale, nation against nation, however no one is immune to the consequences of this type of War.

Hi. I really like your idea of demonstrating the sounds of cyberwar, in which you have included ringtone, typing and email notification. I would suggest if you could add some more sounds to the mix to point out the issue you are trying to address more clearly, that would be awesome. For example, you could add some computer error and hacking sounds, which you could find in these links: (http://soundbible.com/tags-computer-error.html), (https://www.soundsnap.com/tags/hack). Also, I completely agree with you that in this era of the rise of the internet and technological breakthroughs, no one is immune to the consequences of cyberwar. However, I would love to see if you could link your argument to some articles and evidences, which would make this part of your blog post more convincing and insightful. Here is an article on the world’s most dangerous cyberwar attacks that I think would be able to back up your claim of the extreme danger of cyberwar: (https://www.techworld.com/security/worlds-10-most-dangerous-cyberwarfare-attacks-3601660/). As you claim that cyberwar is dangerous “especially when it’s aimed at military or conflicting purposes”, do you think that cyberwar could actually lead to a real war since we have already acknowledged the role of social media in making protest and revolution possible? I would love hear from you. Thanks.

Hi Rosie! Thanks for your feedback! Great idea about the computer error sounds, l’ll add them into the soundcloud! With regards to the consequences of a cyberwar, I do believe it can lead to a real war, as social media is a very powerful tool in enacting this possibility.

Hello!
I found your soundcloud to be really cool, and a great, but also unique way of illustrating the sounds of cyberwar. Texting, messaging, email, it’s all activities we undertake daily and it’s confronting to think about just how easy it is for cyber criminals to essentially attack our information, and possibly exploit it for different reasons. What’s worse, is that we are often, in part, responsible for it happening. According to this article (http://www.news.com.au/technology/online/hacking/1-in-5-australians-have-been-victims-of-identity-crime-with-computer-hacking-online-banking-and-shopping-to-blame/news-story/a2d2d104259b48e330034c152bb47ebc), “more Australians than ever are falling victim to identity crime”, simply due to “using internet banking, shopping online and sending email, actions that millions of Australians do each day without a second thought”. I love technology, and even thoughts like that make me think… do I put too much information out there?
Your blog post did really well to reflect on the idea of cybercrime, and the potential dangers, with your hyperlinks adding additional information that was really quite helpful. I do think, however, that you could have possibly added one more link, potentially to an example of a recent example of an attack undertaken by a cybercriminal, just for further reading if someone wanted it. Not a big thing, but just something to think about. Besides that, great post!

Hi Celena, great post with a fantastic remediation! I think you explain the threat of cyber criminals and cyberwar really nicely! I find it interesting to even look at the potential for cyber criminality on a domestic scale, with the enactment of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Act 2015. Who is to say the authority collating our data will not use it for insincere purposes? Also, I’m not sure if this is a tangent, but what do you think of the threat of cyber criminality, where the criminal organisation is pertinous to a particular nation state but has access to global data? For example, Facebook is an American company but has the data of millions worldwide. If they are working with the U.S. government, as has been suggested, that really screws the rest of us over hahah
