The iSpies

This morning I read an article called "The iSpies" in the Wall Street Journal. I found it very interesting how someone can watch everything you type or view online. The article talked about how a 26-year old female, named Ashley Hayes-Beaty, is being monitored by Lotame Solutions. They use a software called Beacon which is an invisible software on many websites that can track Web surfers’ location and activities online. I don't think this should be illegal because it is an invasion of privacy. The people viewing it can potentially steal your identity. I wouldn't appreciate someone seeing everything I was doing online. I think many people should read this article so they can be aware of what could be happening.
