.Post-1:Web 2.0 helped in deliberating reputable changes in the web companies' and developers' philosophy. Similarly, it has brought about a positive difference in the web-savvy society's philosophy entirely (Onete, Alb?stroiu & Dina, 2017). However, these changes have been observed in how the internet users manipulate the internet and the social functions, owing to that users in the current form of technology constitute sections of web 2.0. As a result, web 2.0 has marked an era where the internet users don't just manipulate the internet, but rather are becoming part of it. In the recent past, internet usage has been seen to escalate alongside the interaction parameters based on the capabilities provided by web 2.0. Resulting from this is a virtual drive to the social web (Onete et al., 2017). In this case, however, most of the websites' information is not only consumed but created by internet users. Much of the internet users' behavior has been noted to change due to the evolution of web 2.0 through the creation of a more interactive and responsive web. Notably, this is a version of the internet known to ease its utilization (Brengarth & Mujkic, 2016). The concept of information sharing has been accorded with excellent value for their characteristic proprietary information. Merits of Behavior Change from Web 2.0The behavior change from Web 2.0 is for the benefit of the users.

The era represents a move towards a more collaborative, social, interactive, as well as a responsive web. This era marks the change in the philosophy of both web developers and companies and the web-savvy society in its entirety (Widyasari, Nugroho, & Permanasari, 2017). Hence, the term Web 2.0 describes a phase of World Wide Web (WWW) evolution that is characterized by dynamic webpages, XML and Java, multiple source data, social media, user communities, Mashup apps; broadband connectivity, as well as user-generated/controlled content.Web 2.0. marked the emergence of new technologies that dramatically improves people’s ability to interact with each other as well as businesses, share and find information, and form relationships. This is good because the idea of sharing information is highly valued the same way as the idea of proprietary information (Widyasari et al., 2017). The concept of open source is becoming a more significant factor even though it has been around for many years. Remarkably, the web link is becoming a new form of currency.Companies continue to leverage Web 2.0 and social networking sites for more than mere communication. They use the technology to exchange media, share documents, distribute and receive resumes, develop and share custom apps, and use social networks, among others.

Such threats include productivity loss, data leaks vulnerabilities, and intrinsic security risks increase.
