Case Evaluations With malicious attacks against computer users on the rise, several high-profile cases of webcam hacking have begun to surface resulting in policy change, varying degrees of judicial punishment, and large settlements. The following is an examination of a civil and criminal case in which the plaintiffs were successful in their claims against non-governmental webcam hacking. In Robbins v. Lower Merion School District, a federal class action lawsuit, Blake Robbins and several high school students from two different Philadelphia schools filed suit against the Pennsylvania School District for installing tracking software on its Apple MacBook computers that were issued to its high school students. The tracking software, TheftTrack,

On May 24, 1981, a 11-year-old young lady and her 12-year-old male cousin were strolling their bicycles in a Cleveland stop when they were baited into a lush zone by a man who asserted there was a harmed deer that required their offer assistance. The man pulled a weapon and struck the kid, compelling him to lie on the ground while he assaulted and sexually attacked the young lady. About three weeks after the wrongdoing, Raymond Towler was halted by a recreation center officer close to a similar Cleveland stop for running a stop sign in his auto. The officer saw that Towler looked like the composite portray of the attacker that was made with the assistance of one of the tyke casualties, and brought Towler into the police headquarters where his
The Question: Has the Plaintiff, Linda D. Daugherty, included the operative facts for cause of action in her claim against the Defendants, Casual Lifestyles Realty, Inc. and Rauleigh J. Ringer, or has said Plaintiff insufficiently stated the facts, therefore making indefinite allegations and validating the move for a more definite statement? Or, is it that, the mechanisms of discovery could be an open alternative to the Defendants, which would aid in gathering any information needed for the defense to frame a response to said Plaintiff, therefore invalidating the Motion pursuant to Rule 12(E) of Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure?
Blake Gibson will unlikely be found guilty of trespassing because her decision to jump through a window for her safety outweighed the harm that would of occurred if she stayed in the public eye. Under Massachusetts’s law, the defendant must show that the harm sought to be avoided far exceeds the harm resulting from the crime committed. Commonwealth v. Hutchins, 575 N.E.2d 741, 743 (Mass. 1991). Once this is proven, defendant can inquire a defense necessity claim. A defense of necessity exonerates one who commits a crime under the pressure of circumstance if they present some evidence on four underlying conditions of the defense. Commonwealth v. Magadini, 52 N.E.3d 1041, 1047 (Mass. 2016). One, a clear and imminent danger. Id. Two, a
Nelson Hart is a Newfoundland man who was convicted in 2007 of drowning his 3 year old twin daughters. The 45 year old was held in prison for more than 9 years before being released in 2014.
Under the ECPA, it is illegal to attempt to intercept or intentionally intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication without authorization. In regards to webcam hacking, the ECPA makes it illegal to collect images and sound or video recordings from a user’s webcam as this is considered an interception of an oral or electronic communication. However, the ECPA alone is inadequate to address webcam hacking given that it only protects users against interceptions where the access has already occurred and is in progress. Unfortunately, the ECPA does not consider the unauthorized creation of the connection that allows the hacker to gain access to the user’s webcam in the first instance. For that, the CFAA provides added legal protection to computer
Arson cases are hard to investigate sometimes. Sometimes things are too burnt down to figure out how a fire was started. In this case Joshua Powell burned down his home with his two sons inside of it. He had lost custody of his kids and was mentally unstable. Sine there was a CPS officer at the scene who witnessed the situation and smelled gas it will be an easy start for the arson investigators.
On 2/16/18, at approximately 1941, I responded to 1241 Lake Lucerne Cir, Winter Springs, Seminole County in reference to a battery. Upon arrival I spoke to Michael Morris (victim-w/m 12/23/1977) and Heather Morris (witness w/f 07/01/1980), who informed me that Scott Neely (suspect w/m 11/22/1979) attacked Michael in their driveway.
In the case of Conrad Jarrett I would envision utilizing two frontline treatment options in order to reduce the client’s symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Bryant (2008) designed a treatment protocol that combines the use of cognitive restructuring and exposure therapy. Utilizing both of these therapies within structured individual sessions would allow a reduction in negative cognitions (e.g., feelings of guilt and shame) should these feelings intensify during exposure. My concern stems from the patient’s previous attempt at suicide and my desire to provide Conrad with some tools to combat his negative thoughts increasing the likelihood that he will remain unharmed and in therapy through the duration of treatment.
Not every DWI (driving while intoxicated) case ends the same, some have different verdicts in the courtroom. The Ethan Couch case is a great example of why punishing drunk drivers should be more enforced and not so lenient. The teen from Texas was driving drunk with two other passengers in his pickup truck on June of 2013, when he hit and killed four people. Ethan Couch was tried as a juvenile and charged with four counts of Intoxication Manslaughter, but was only sentenced to ten years of probation. His lawyers argued that it was due to “affluenza”, which means that he came from a wealthy family and it prevented him from understanding what was right from wrong, so he was not held accountable for his actions. The judge who took on this case

The internet has brought upon a new revolution of global interconnection where contacting someone on the other side of the world is just a click away, but with this international phenomenon comes an increased susceptibility with unfamiliar technology. Internet crime is compiled of all non-physical crime with the aid of a computer. Although broad in definition internet crimes are largely composed of acts such as cyber fraud, ‘phishing’ (username and password hacking), cyber stalking and hacking. Internet crime does not pose an overwhelming issue in society in terms of its
The use of information technology in business presents major security challenges, poses serious ethical question, and affects society in significant ways. Especially, the computer crime is a growing threat to society and is caused by the criminal or irresponsible actions of individuals who are taking advantage of the widespread use and vulnerability of computers and the Internet and other networks. It presents a major challenge to the integrity, safety, and survival of most business systems.
The ethical issues surrounding hacking, stem from several sources mainly dealing with order and control, and information ownership. What is difficult to decipher from all the media hoopla surrounding the terms, "hacker" and "hacking" is both the simultaneous sensationalism and the condemnation of said activities. Of course just recently, even a movie was made and was appropriately called Hackers. The term and all that it implies has truly entered our popular consciousness when Hollywood has made a box office movie on it. As the advancement of computer technologies and systems of information become increasingly more and more complex in today's fast paced modern world and said technologies become an integral
In the last decade it’s amazing how technology has advanced over the years and will continue to advance for many years to come. Every year there is a new cell phone from Apple or Samsung, with new features that make our lives more convenient. From faster software to higher picture quality and so on. I am unable to recall the last time I used a camera to take pictures or went to the bank to deposit a check. Technology advances every day and many can’t wait to see what’s next to come. But with new technology comes greater risk for violations of privacy. In the following research paper I will discuss the types of security breaches and the cost associated with these breaches that businesses around the world face on a daily basis.
