Option 1

 * Article title -

= The Plot to Hack America =


 * Article Evaluation - When reading this article I had a little prior knowledge on this subject but not enough to completely understand the topic / discussion. After reading the article I feel like I am a lot more comfortable and feel like my understanding on the topic is greater. I like how the article states the nominations and prizes the book received, I feel like it makes the reader give the article the benefit of the doubt knowing it has some accolades. Next I like how it talks about the main topics and goes into what the author thinks of the situation and how his background helped him with the situation. After reading the article I would of liked for the author to get more in depth about what happened with the actual United States Government rather than spend a good chunk of his piece talking about his background. I understand his background adds to his credibility but a little less information on him and more on the topic of research would be better. I would even argue adding some pictures in the article too would help just a bit.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Internet censorship in China


 * Article Evaluation
 * In this article, they talk about censorship on the internet in China. I knew a little bit about the Chinese Government controlling its citizens. When I started to read the article it was laid out very nicely it starts off talking about the Chinese background after they give more background information. Next, they give information on how the government handles the internet in the country. Right after they bring up future projects for the government, and how the government has punished the citizens who do not comply with the internet rules. I thought it was interesting how they state the country of China has contacted Google to create a program for their government to use that algorithm to use against its citizens.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * StockX Offering Free Fraud and Identify Theft Protection After Hack


 * Article Evaluation
 * I decided to choose this article because I was one of 6 million who’s account got leaked. I woke up and checked my email, I read an email regarding that I bought a shirt and a jacket. When I looked into it I realized somebody had taken my account. I went to Twitter and looked up if this had happened to anybody else and sure enough it did. I emailed the company they refunded me my money, and I canceled my account. After reading the article they talk about how much the company is worth, what happened to their customers, and what the CEO did after. When I picked this article I thought they were going to talk to at least one of the victims who got their account hacked, yet just a couple quotes from the CEO which was kind of a bummer. They did have a couple pictures but maybe a screenshot of a customers account would be nice to show readers. A part I found interesting is it states that peoples accounts were being sold on the dark web for $300. When I read that I was shocked, never did the company say my information was being sold, all they did was say that there was a leak with their system. I like the article because it does tell us about things the company itself did not tell their customers but more basic information could have been added and some more pictures.
