Hi Tanmay!
Definition :
Internet privacy is the privacy and security level of personal data published via the Internet. It is a broad term that refers to a variety of factors, techniques and technologies used to protect sensitive and private data, communications, and preferences.
Internet privacy and anonymity are paramount to users, especially as e-commerce continues to gain traction. Privacy violations and threat risks are standard considerations for any website under development.
Internet privacy is also known as online privacy.
Internet privacy is cause for concern for any user planning to make an online purchase, visit a social networking site, participate in online games or attend forums. If a password is compromised and revealed, a victim's identity may be fraudulently used or stolen.
Internet privacy risks include:
Phishing: An Internet hacking activity used to steal secure user data, including username, password, bank account number, security PIN or credit card number.Pharming: An Internet hacking activity used to redirect a legitimate website visitor to a different IP address.Spyware: An offline application that obtains data without a user's consent. When the computer is online, previously acquired data is sent to the spyware source.Malware: An application used to illegally damage online and offline computer users through Trojans, viruses and spyware.Internet privacy violation risks may be minimized, as follows:
Always use preventative software applications, such as anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam and firewallsAvoid shopping on unreliable websitesAvoid exposing personal data on websites with lower security levelsClear the browser's cache and browsing history on a consistent basisAlways use very strong passwords consisting of letters, numerals and special characters.
Best of luck.

Answer:

Obama Administration is ramping up efforts to strengthen America’s cybersecurity and make it more difficult for hackers to damage our businesses, hurt our economy and threaten our freedom to information. On Tuesday, President Obama is expected to speak about cybersecurity in his State of the Union Address.

Adopted by more than 2.5 billion people in the first 20 years of its existence, the Internet permeates through every aspect of our corporate, personal and government lives. The Internet is easily one of the most democratic and disruptive inventions of the last century; it is the epitome of free speech.

Only two decades old, the Internet was unchartered legal territory, lacking firm regulatory standards and protection by international law. Further, the unprecedented demand for mobile devices (more people in the world have access to cell phones than toilets, according to the U.N.), further convolutes legal issues when it comes to Internet use and what is private and public information. This is disturbing since ninety percent of the world’s data — your information and mine — was created in the last two years alone.
