A Brief Note On D2 And Computer Misuse Act

This Act was enacted to regulate computer crimes and protect them against the misuse of computer criminal activities such as hacking and cracking down of computer networks and systems and virus spreading. This Law seems to be the most important due to increase in computer activities such financial transactions, for example increase in electronic banking. Through this Act, users of computers have been able to protect their rights to privacy and confidence when using the computer. The Act is similar to the United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act 1986(United States), the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (United Kingdome) and the Computer Misuse Act 1993 (Singapore). The offences covered under this Act are; Unauthorized

For the actual attack that took place there are changes that need to be performed on both the client's side as well as the server's side. These changes involve limiting the quantities of request either side can make. For the client's I would recommend a firewall placed between them and the server which would be configured to limit the amount of requests to be made to any outside source and either notify and administrator or outright blocking additional requests beyond the threshold.

concerned with the protection of the server where the protection of the server constitute a large proportion of protecting your site

In this thesis, focus on the security aspect of the client side, as well as in terms of the server, where the main objective of this security system to prevent attackers from exploiting the weaknesses of the client side because this would lead ultimately

With the intoduction of Web 2.0, sharing information through social networking has increased and as there has been increased business/services over the internet websites are often attacked directly. Hackers either attempt to compromise the network or alternetivly the end-users opening the website.

While they should most definitely be responsible for monitoring these websites, trying their best to keep the number of offensive and harmful posts at a minimum, the fast pace of Internet crime will almost always allow for slip ups. Unfortunately for these website owners, there is only so much they can do to prevent these types of mishaps due to the limitations of the First Amendment. Imposing too many restrictions would in fact be a violation of free speech, and allowing extensive monitoring of each individual using the website would be in direct violation of the right to privacy granted in the Fourth Amendment. For these reasons, the posters themselves should be held responsible for any compensatory damages done to the

Free speech is a crucial part of The United States’ foundation in history, we fought for our First Amendment rights and continue to fight for them every day. That is why the suppression and censorship of the press is so important during World War II. The censorship of the Fu-Go bombs, although not ideal, was for the greater good of America winning the war. This was an instance where censorship was done for the overall benefit of the people, but when censorship is taken too far it can have extreme repercussions.

In the short time that computers and internet have existed in the modern era, the world has seen a complete 360 degree turn and in the various forms of electronic entertainment that people all over the world are now using. In the days before CD’s, DVD’s and the internet, not much was said if a vinyl album (remember these?), VHS cassette (or these?) or an audio cassette was loaned to a friend for their listening / viewing pleasure, but today with the availability of sending an email with three or four megabytes (mb) of information, one can enjoy a borrowed song but is assumed that it is piracy or stealing. Is this a fair assumption? This Author will not give

Each day, millions of Americans make online purchases and millions of dollars are spent through e-commerce. Whether it is clothes, books, videos, hotels, flights or even cars, nearly anything can be bought online. It is important for consumers to be assured of their identity protection and have peace of mind when ordering online. So when online retailers do not take the proper precautions for safeguarding their customer’s confidential information, how should they be held accountable? Does the Federal Trade Commission have the authority to reprimand companies that expose themselves to a threatening data breach? These are the principle questions that are being considered in the case of FTC v. Wyndham Worldwide Corp. This case has greatly impacted the future of e-commerce and has decided how companies will be held responsible for upholding the highest security standards and protecting consumer information. As Christians, we are called to not only look after our own interests, but also the interests of others (Phillipians 2:4, NIV). I will examine the holding of this case to determine how business managers can best steward the information of customers and employees to look after their best interests and protect them from harm.

Everything is stored on the internet including highly classified government information, and your bank information. How do we make sure no one steals, views, or sells your passwords, and private information? Congress passed a law in 1986 called the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) to protect the government’s information. Many laws have been passed that revises the CFAA. The CFAA has imprisoned many people, and many people want changes to the CFAA today.

Recent congressional proposal to pass the Stop Online Internet Piracy (SOPA) Act was one of the latest attempts by copyright owners and their supporters in Congress to criminalize intellectual property theft through the use of the Internet. The bill has not passed yet partly because of public concerns that the Act could have adversely affect the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech. These concerns over intellectual property theft as well as the potentially negative consequences of copyright protection legislations, however, are not new in the digital age. The debate over electronic theft began during 1990s when increasing number of Americans began to gain access to the Internet. To protect copyright owners, the Congress in 1997 passed No Electronic Theft (NET) Act. It was a logical response from Congress given the fact that the Internet could be used to violate copyright laws on a massive scale unless properly regulated through appropriate legislation. However, the NET Act also turned out to be largely ineffective and its scope reached beyond what was justified.

Digital technologies have been it hard to protect private information because with information spread quickly almost instantly around the world. Once a personal photo or information goes online it can't be deleted, it might be deleted from the website that it was posted but the information would have spread the moment it was posted and its impossible to remove it. The government have developed laws to protect peoples privates which have help a lot but doesn't completely protect them. Theft protection act of 2005 is really important, it makes companies have to secure consumers private information and if the information get exposed they have to tell the consumer that their information was leaked. onsite behavior involves a company website gathering

Cybercrime is known as any type of violation to the federal or state laws that is committed through the use of a computer or another technological device. Common types of cybercrime described by the Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI) include: Internal cybercrime. These crimes are also known as Malware, and they include the creation of viruses and other malicious software with the intention to damage someone else’s computer. Second category is Internet and Telecommunication Crimes. Such crimes include making pranks over the phone, illegal internet-based gambling, dissemination of illegal material, such as child pornography, theft of telecommunications systems, among others. The third category of cybercrime stated by the FBI is known as Support

Second, Traffic between the Web Server and the Application Server could either be on HTTPS, SSH, RDP or some Custom Port. Here again, placing a firewall makes sense, as the traffic needs to be controlled between the Web Server and Application Server and should be allowed only on specific application ports and not operating system ports.
