Spyware Attack Research Paper

2. A hacker broke into the primary Web server of a major e-commerce Web site and planted a logic bomb that would cause a Web server to power down. It was programmed to go off at noon the day after Thanksgiving, at the height of the holiday shopping season. Security employees at the e-commerce company were alerted to the possibility of the logic bomb but hadn’t yet located it.

The framework of security policy is defined to construct a structure by the help of which policy gaps can be identified in an easy manner. A system specific policy would assist to ensure that all employees and management comply with the policies. This is also used to maintain the confidentiality for user authentication would assist in the confidentiality aspect of security, maintain integrity (There are several limiting rules or constraints which are distinct in the relational data model and whose work is to maintain the data’s accuracy and maintain its integrity.), availability and authenticity of the system. Access controls are a collection of mechanisms that work together to create security architecture to protect the assets of an information system. One of the goals of access control is personal accountability, which is the mechanism that proves someone performed a computer activity at a specific point in time. So, the framework acts as the guideline

Like all the threat, this adware intrudes computer via free software, this software does not disclose that they are bundled with this malware. Sometimes this threat can enter into a computer by spam email attachment and hyperlinks. Some misleading websites such as questionable web pages, torrent sites, social media platforms etc.

Do you have children? Do they use the internet? Do you know what they're doing on the internet? They could be doing homework, or they could be talking to a pedophile. How can you protect your child? Harlan Coben wrote an article with his solution to this problem: spyware. However, I don't agree with this, there are other, better ways to protect your child. Still don't believe me? Well listen to this.

Coden is a very sneaky guy he uses tactics to get what he wants, in the case, the reader's trust. One specific tactic is he acknowledges the reader's feelings giving him a little trust for him seeing their point of view. He is able to manipulate people by reducing all of the negative feelings they have towards spyware and to show all the good things spyware can do. Lastly, he makes the reader fear what will happen if they don't have spyware on their kid's

North Korea continues to expand its Cyberwarfare capabilities and extend its influence across the globe. The three major groups conducting cyberattacks since 2009 are the Lazarus, Bluenoroff and Andariel groups. The Lazarus group is conducting social chaos attacks, the Bluenoroff group is focused on financial cybercrimes and the Andariel group’s main effort is on intelligence gathering (Kerner

In the 1700s, America needed to have a mechanism to deal with defectors whose vision was not aligned with America’s strategic direction, which led the Founding Fathers to address Espionage in US Constitution. Like treason, espionage is high crime that adversely impacts national security. According to thefreedictionary.com, “espionage, commonly known as spying, is the practice of secretly gathering information about a foreign government or a competing industry, with the purpose of placing one's own government or corporation at some strategic or financial advantage.”

There’s a big difference between a loving and a nosy parent. Both care about their kids but show it differently and when it comes to kids using the internet, both go about different ways on making sure they're safe online. I personally know many kids who just seem to not care about the things they do or post online. Our youth are constantly unaware of the dangers around them, mostly when using the internet, therefore parent need to step up and be more attentive to what their kids do online by monitoring what they do online and build better relationships with their kids.

North Korea cyber-attack capabilities have increased in the last few years, with the approval of Kim Jong Un. A cyber-attack conducted by the North Korea military is likely to occur in the future. The hackers were given prior targets to set up attacks against. The list includes the following: transportation networks, nuclear power plants, electrical power plants, water treatment facilities and government organizations. This list is the top priority for the North Korean hackers, disrupting services any plans

In today’s world it is highly impossible for any kind of business to function without the assistance of technology. Any company that relies on digital data and computer networks have exposure to a host of varying Cyber Attacks. As technology continues to evolve, cyber security breaches become even more difficult to solve. The cybersecurity world rightly believes in the maxim – It’s not if, it’s when!

As the internet and social media have made our lives easier, it has also become a easy way for child predators to get in touch with kids. Parents are very much unaware of how cyber-predators look for children of any age from elementary school to high school. Predators can come in diverse forms and have different intentions than other predators. Predators at the least can look for vulnerable children to create online sexual relations with. Next predators can try to meet face-to-face with children they found online and sexually assault them consensually or not. Finally, the worst a cyber-predator can do is find children to become a victim of human trafficking. However, the internet isn’t all a bad thing. It is a very easy and useful tool that

I don’t think any teenager needs spyware in their computer. If the kid has a crush on someone you didn’t need to know about just let it be. I disagree with Coben that parents should put spyware on their kids’ computer because the teens should get some privacy and it should show them to have more responsibility to tell the parents about it.

Zeus malware also known as zbot is a type of notorious banking malware. A computer virus that targets windows operating system with the primary aim of stealing financial data and confidential informations from banking and financial institutions. It was first found in 2017 when it was used to steal data from the United States Department of Transportation (USDT). It became more popular in 2009 when a security company Prevx found that Zeus had taken over and infected 75,000 FTP accounts on websites of companies like Bank of America (BOA), BusinessWeek, NASA, Oracle, Cisco, Amazon, etc. It is also used in social engineering scams of tech support technicians. They also use it in make believe scams too, into making

Abstract─Distantly controlled and managed (by botmaster or botherder) malicious software (called botnets or ‘bot armies’) hidden in large number of computers may cause extraordinary likely damage to the Internet. Botnets can initiate massive coordinated attacks upon Internet resources and its infrastructure devices. The most likely potential uses of botnets are distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, spamming, sniffing traffic, keylogging, installing advertisement addons and google adsense abuse, attacking internet relay chat (IRC) networks, attacking peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) networks, and mass identity theft etc. This research is intended to review and analyze all aspects of well known botnets

Malicious cyber activity is occurring more frequently and with unexpected complexity. In mid-December of 2009, Google experienced a highly sophisticated and targeted attack which originated in China on its search engine infrastructure and e-mail, as well as on at least 20 other companies.
