The "tools of the trade" used by today's cargo thieves aren't necessarily limited to hardware such as bolt cutters, crowbars, and various power tools. They might also include computers, an Internet connection, and specialized software. As long as freight carriers use computers and the Internet, they're vulnerable to getting their networks hacked by cyber criminals.
Cyber crime isn't limited to merely stealing bank account usernames and passwords. It can target many assets of a business via their stored data. By hacking into your network, they can learn all about your truck routing. This includes detailed information about your shipments for customers, such as the exact goods being shipped, the routing used, as well as the pickup and delivery
Corporations and shipping lines with a proven track record of legal integrity and safety are given a low-risk assessment. Customs then focuses on “aberrations”, cargo from unknown companies or “trouble-spot” locations, cargo that follows erratic shipping routes, or any other “red flag” activities. A large risk analysis matrix for global cargo is continuously expanded. The data is fed in, the risk assessment is generated, and cargo with a clean bill of health is allowed to continue at will while containers with a high-risk value are tagged for inspection.” (Nordstrom,
Sometimes excavations not only make the past clearer, but also helps brighten up the present.
It was previously mentioned, by Adams, how America should not wage war against the Barbary states, unless, America had plans of fighting them forever. While Adam’s words were not heeded, they rang true. From the ten years after the first Barbary War, to hundreds of years after the Barbary Wars, there is still piracy. Modern Day Piracy is commanded by Somali fisherman who attack cargo ships that travel along Somalia and the Gulf of Aden. The Somalian Fisherman first struck in the year of 1990, while their numbers have declined after 2012, there are still Somali Pirates. Some of the countries that have been attacked by the modern day pirates include Hong Kong, India, Liberia, Kenya, Taiwan, Denmark, North Korea, The United States, and numerous
One problem created by global warming is the diminishing natural habitat of the Polar Bear. Increased greenhouse gas emissions are warming the earth, and shrinking the polar ice caps. The polar ice caps are the natural habitat for the polar bear. With the loss of this critical habitat it could inhibit the future survival of this species.

American culture through films and creating markets for American-made products. Through this partnership, masculinity became the deputy cinematic emissary for the United States. Male identity developed as a psychological construct bordered by feelings of insecurity and anxiety, especially in the immediate post-World War II American society. During the war, as more men enlisted in the armed services, women filled those better paid, higher status job positions.
All three companies suffered a breach of cyber security by hacking, which put customer personal and financial details at risk of being obtained and used for fraudulent purposes.
Human traffickers are intelligent individuals who use coercion frequently to receive their needs, making victims unable to identify the danger of their presence (Farbey, 2007). Traffickers do horrendous things to individuals, just to receive a profit. Captors are selfish and do not care about the medical, mental, or physical neglect that they perform on their victims (Farrell, 2011). Many victims are unable to trust anyone after going through the process of being stripped from every unalienable right they have. No matter how much a victim says “no” or pleads to go home, their captors continue to deprive them of their freedom. Captors are not so much as concerned with owning people but instead, of controlling their victims completely (Bales,
In both Illict by Naim and Transnational Crime and the 21st century by Albanese , they were able to discuss the nature of gun, organ, and stolen property smuggling. Each type brings dangers to not only the victim but also the smuggler and host country. Moreover, these illicit activities can provide benefits to those involved but the harms caused by these activities typically outweigh the benefits. From previous reading, the process of globalization, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the advancement of technology has allowed for these crimes to advance. In fact, these types of crimes have grown at an unprecedented rate , which has created a wide array of networks that want to evade any policy and or laws to make their business profitable.
The potential of violations can come from numerous sources (Lawrence & Weber, 2011) (Consumer Information). Recently Equifax had a data breach of their customer’s personal information. The hackers accessed the names, social security numbers, birthdates, and addresses of 142 million American consumers (Consumer Information). This is frightening and happens more often that we think. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers executive, ”Cybercrime has emerged as a formidable threat. Over the years millions have fallen victim to theses attacks. In a survey of 583 U.S. companies, 90 percent said that hackers breached their company’s computers over the last twelve months (Lawrence & Weber, 2011). Cyber crimes occur when hackers attempt to damage or destroy a computer network or system of company’s data. Criminals will use one of the most harmful systems around. This system is called a zombie. A zombie is
What is cyber crime? Cyber crime is defined as any criminal activities carried out on some form of technology customarily a computer. These cases are currently running the U.S. judicial system and have been since the invention of computers. The cyber crimes are beginning to surmount the criminal justice system and justice needs to be served. Of the many suggestions people have regarding the criminal justice system, improvements to cyber crime penalization can be implemented by updating ways of accumulating various evidence and customizing a set of consequences to online crime, rather than treating it like customary crimes.
While Ransomlock Trojans have tormented the risk scene in the course of the last few years, we are presently seeing cybercriminals progressively utilize Ransomcrypt Trojans. The contrast in the middle of Ransomlock and Ransomcrypt Trojans is that Ransomlock Trojans by and large bolt machine screens while Ransomcrypt Trojans encode and locks individual records. Both dangers are inspired by financial additions that cyber criminals profit from exploited people.
When firms like Home Depot and Target invests a lot of financial and non-financial resources to curb the menace, one is left to wonder why such vices continues to affect them and their clients. Hacking of companies in the United States have reached a sky high and notable names in the industry have been affected by the vice. The firms like Home Depot, JPMorgan, Michael, Nieman Marcus and Target, have had its share of this vice. The United States Postal Services have not been left behind also, because it was also affected by the hackers ( 'Cybercrime a
Cyber criminals take pride in creating chaos, and the chaos that cyber criminals inflict on their victims can be crippling to individuals and corporations. We have all heard about hackers getting information from major retail chains as well as information being leaked that included Social Security numbers for millions of people. We use the internet with somewhat of a naivete expectation that all of our information is safe. That is, until something untoward occurs, and then it can be all out panic.
The death penalty is a very controversial topic. Although there is a lot of evidence supporting both sides, over half of Americans are for capital punishment in some shape or form, but what causes someone to be sentenced to death? According to the article, “Against the American System of Capital Punishment” by Jack Greenberg, the worst crime is “a putative killer of one’s parent or child” (Greenberg). What makes this so much worse than any other crime? And, of the few executions, how many of these people are getting executed for the worst crime? Some people say the death penalty should continue and there should be more executions, but personally, I think it should be banned in all states. Through the history of my brother in law to what the law actually states the death penalty should no longer be in place.
