Hi I want to make a video presentation on this topic which should be 5 mins atleast, so need help below format:   Discussion: Misadventures of a Nation State Podcast Discuss Darknet Diaries Episode 10. Why is this a video discussion instead of a written response? It is an important skill to master to be able to present and summarize the key concepts of a complex cybersecurity incident in a short time frame. Remember that unless you are talking to other cybersecurity professionals, probably no one thinks this stuff is as interesting as you do. Instructions:  The main purpose of the video discussion assignments is to get you to dig into the main four cybersecurity frameworks and references we use in the class. Use the context of the specific security incident to explore and explain some aspects of the NIST CSF, the CIS CSCs, ACSC Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Incidents, and the MITRE ATT&CK matrix. Keep each discussion sub-topic focused and to approximately 1 minute  for a TOTAL video…

"The impact of hacking on life" - For the last several years cyber-attacks/hacking are in the news on a seemingly continuous basis.  Some of the most recent/largest hacking events include the Solarwinds hack that was the conduit for the major breach of many US Federal agencies and the disturbing Equifax hack from 2017.   Have these events and the subsequent reporting caused you to change any habits/behaviors?  Please provide your thoughts on this along with why you have or have not made any changes as a result of these events. Hint: Please don't use chat gpt

Have you ever seen someone being harassed or bullied by someone else over the internet? When you initially learned of the issue, what was the very first thing that went through your head? How did you get at the conclusion that the individual had been the target of bullying conduct prior to your intervention? In other words, how did you come to that conclusion?

Can cybercrime teach us about creativity or deduction?

Nearly a decade has passed since the National Academy of Engineers declared Cyber Security a "grand challenge for the next century." Every day there is news on ways in which cyber security challenges and responses are complicating every aspect of our lives. Can the challenge be solved? As a first step to solving any problem, one must understand its nature. So, it is important for all cyber security analysts to keep on top of news stories in the field. In this discussion forum we will do just that with the hope that everyone will make it a daily habit throughout their career. Today, some cyber news has been flooded out of the headlines by Hurricane Harvey, but as noted in this article, cyber concerns are front and center as students return to school.

you will be writing an essay to discuss the evolution of hacking. Your Essay should highlight the evolution of hacking from individuals to corporations (and their predominate locations) to cyber warfare. Include at least 5 different locations and events (more is better) to tell the story of how hacking has changed over time from the 1940's to present. Use your specific events to illustrate both when and what happened in each of these locations/events that changed the face of hacking as well as the global nature of hacking. The events should be presented in time order. Also include images or figures, and any additional visual aids to help tell your story. Where did the hack originate, who was the target if known, how did this event affect hacking as we know it, what was significant about this event. Your 5 or more locations should include at least 2 (preferably 3 or more) international locations as well as at least one United States location.

Founded in April 1996, Antheus Tecnologia develops and distributes Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems [AFIS], automated fingerprinting, and other systems such as iris recognition devices. Antheus Tecnologia also claims that it is the first Brazilian company to be certified by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] and develops biometric solutions for domestic and overseas clients. In March 2020, the security research team at SafetyDetectives discovered a significant data leak in addition to other security flaws [such as lack of password protection] relating to fingerprint data on an Antheus log server in Brazil. The research team discovered almost 2.3 million data points in total and estimated that 76,000 unique fingerprints were found on the database. Approximately 16 gigabytes of data were found on the Elasticsearch server, including highly sensitive information related to identification and biometric details. The Antheus server investigated by the security team is an…

Cybersecurity discussion  In 2013, Edward Snowden was hired by the NSA after previous employment with the CIA as a systems administrator. In early June of 2013 he revealed thousands of classified NSA documents to journalists Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Barton Gellman, and Ewen MacAskill about government surveillance programs. By June 21, 2013, the United States Department of Justice unsealed charges against Edward Snowden of two counts of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and theft of government property, which identified the leak of state secrets as an act of treason. Snowden has become a subject of controversy, both ethically and legally being seen as a traitor, a hero, a whistleblower, a dissident, and patriot.

Conclusion of Natural Disasters involving Homeland Security

What are the most popular subjects and trends that are today associated with cybercrime, and how did they first come into existence? If you want an accurate answer from me, you will need to offer an explanation as to where you acquired the information.

In 2006, Hewlett-Packard Development Company LP became embroiled in a controversy over methods used toinvestigate media leaks from its board. HP Chairperson Patricia Dunn could have simply asked the directors who was the source cited in the story, sought an apology and gone from there. With some direct face-to-face communication, the story would likely have ended quickly. It did not. “Not only did investigators impersonate board members, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records, but according to multiple reports, they also surveilled an HP director and a reporter for CNet Networks Inc. They sent monitoring spyware in an e-mail to that reporter by concocting a phoney tip. They even snooped on the phone records of former CEO and Chairperson Carly Fiorina, who had launched the quest to identify media sources in the first place.” The situation continued to escalate. For example, the New York Times reported that HP consultants even considered planting clerical or custodial…
