Vulnerable To Hacking

This project identifies a two possible issues that can happen during the system operations like hacking or data loss due to improper security provided to the company branches and there is no proper infrastructure of the firewall for the network structure. The aircraft security policy result in failure due to their two year reset program.

Since the onset of the first packet switching event that many believe to be beginning of the internet, no other technology besides the printing press has ever transformed the ability to deliver information. Although the internet is used by a large percentage of the civilized world, few Americans realize how vital cyberspace is to our national infrastructure. Today, we are faced with even more threats although it has been a recognized problem since 2009, when President Barrack Obama said “The cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation. It’s also clear that we’re not as prepared as we should be, as a government or as a country (Obama, 2009).” Every industry that operates in the United States is dependent on the internet for some aspect of their business. Commerce, transportation, financial institutions, military, as well as industrial control systems are all interconnected. This interconnectedness has created vulnerabilities within their infrastructure that have increasingly become targets of terrorists, script kiddies, foreign governments and hackers of all types.

new advances in the electronic technologies during the past decades have administered a new wealth of criminal activity. Software like Computer viruses, malware, software privacy, spam and etc. Technologically savvy artist replicate websites, so when a person's online activities occurs in a virtual world it can be compromised.Many times Cyber intrusions rely on human interaction and it often involves tricking people into breaking security procedures.

Through internet motoring, malicious actors can capture information as it travels across the Internet to the intended recipient. This act occurs at any point within the physical or electronic systems that the internet may contain. In some cases, they use physical tapping to conduct communication monitoring between law enforcement agencies.

Adam Segal’s “The Hacked World Order” reveals many prevalent issues in today’s technologically centered society. Starting at Year Zero, June 2012 to June 2013, the battle over cyberspace witnessed world-changing cyberattacks. This was accomplished due to the fact that nearly 75% of the world’s population has easy access to a mobile phone, and the Internet connects nearly 40% of the total human population, which is nearly 2.7 billion people. With that being said, cyberattacks are becoming a more realistic form of terror.

The replication crisis is a topic that has gained a fair amount of attention in the past years. It centers on the finding that numerous of the studies that have been conducted in the field of psychology cannot be replicated. Only recently a paper was published in Nature stating that less than half of the studies in psychology can be reproduced. It has been shown that this effect is not only applicable to studies of the psychological science, but also to medicine, technology, mathematical sciences, and many other disciplines in which research is being done.

In order for humans to connect with one another, they must accept not only their own vulnerability but also the vulnerability of others. However, vulnerability may be a trait in which every human shares, but not everyone is willing to embrace the concept. Understanding the power of vulnerability is essential when trying to comprehend human nature because it gives us the ability to see someone at their truest self.

This paper seeks to identify two security vulnerabilities in the Aircraft Solution’s computer network. The investigation identified one policy and one software vulnerability. The policy vulnerability is the firewall and router rule set policy that requires a review of these settings every two years. The recommendation is to have management develop and support a new policy that will improve network security and abide by current federal laws and regulations.

In order to understand the associated risks of viruses, worms, bugs, quarantine, and other malicious malwares on the growth of any economy, it is pertinent that the history of malwares be understood. According to [1], in the past, individual crooks, amateur scriptwriters, and charlatans deployed primitive tactics to access classified information from unsuspecting targets. However, the situation has become worse in recent years. As noted by [1], today criminal organizations recruit computer gurus – who are adept at hacking hardware and software – to threaten nations, to spy on individuals activities, and to steal unauthorized information. Worse, some countries assist these criminals to perpetuate these unlawful acts,

With the majority of our business conducted via the web, the safety and security of Edu Corp’s website is essential. With continuous concerns regarding web security, such as fraudulent behavior, Edu Corp has established a detailed, thorough policy in order to protect both our customers and employees while conducting various tasks on Edu Corp’s official website. In 2014, a significant number of companies experienced data breaches in regards to their official websites (McGregor, 2014). With a large customer and employee base at Edu Corp, every interaction with Edu Corp’s official website must account for the safety and security of all associated with the company. At Edu Corp, we strive to provide a safe web-browsing environment for both employees and customers, in order to ensure maximum privacy and safety measures.

Technology is consistently evolving. With this evolution comes great new innovation that empowers users all around the globe. However, it also brings completely new and ever-dangerous threats. In 2009, Google found that technology had brought such threats right into its networks. The company was one of many that were targeted by a very highly sophisticated attack to steal intellectual property undetected, rather than to just interrupt service or destroy data. Google had found itself a victim of an international malware attack aimed at stealing source code and spying on human rights activists in China.

By the year of 2016, investments in online security are expected to reach $86bn (Contu et al, 2012). Although this might seem a large sum of money, it is considered necessary since there is an increase in online risks from all over the world. Professional hackers develop malware on a global scale and on a 24/7 basis. Hackers have five objectives when spreading malware over the Internet: to infect/distribute, to steal, to persist, to control and for intelligence (Morris, 2010).

Just like a biological virus, a computer virus is able to infect and ruin lives. This malicious software constitutes more than just simple viruses but also includes other types of software including worms, Trojan horses, and ransomware. Malware has been around since the late 1980’s. Originally, people became hackers to gain notoriety online, but today, it has become more of a business. Cyber attacks originate from all around the world, and it is not just individual people that benefit from it. In two decades, numerous cyber crime syndicates have been created, and states all over the world sponsor hacker groups. Over the past twenty-five years, malware has become less about checking the integrity of computer security and gaining notoriety in the underground cyber society, and it has become more of a chaos creating, money making business that many people and institutions take part in.

The internet is a medium that is becoming progressively important as it makes information available in a quick and easy manner. It has transformed communications and acts as a global network that allows people to communicate and interact without being limited by time, boarders and distance. However, the infrastructure is vulnerable to hackers who use the system to commit cyber crime. To accomplish this, they make use of innovative stealth techniques for their malicious purposes in the internet.

The success of these network attacks can lead to data theft, data loss, compliance failures and website outages. These breaks can do not only cause legal issue due to failure of compliance, but may likewise result in customer dissatisfaction. Dissatisfied
