You are not alone. It is being worked on, but as you can imagine the entire world is using the internet now, and changing it will be hard and expensive. It was originally just a way for professors to share documents and chat. So, there was little to no security designed it.

There are several groups trying to figure out a way to solve the problem. We will probably have three internets soon, this one for "playing around", a "secure" internet for anything financial, and the dark web for people who feel the need to be secretive.
