Massive Attack

providing services related to traffic safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment [1]. When these kinds of services are introduced, they also bring in the vulnerabilities associated with them, resulting in increased number of security threats and attacks. Hence, it is very important to ensure that these services do not compromise the safety and security of the users [2]. This paper aims to provide a brief overview of cyber security in vehicular networks by analyzing its vulnerabilities, challenges

The attack has fractured the relationship between nations and refuges which has caused a dire problem for [refugees] “a person who flees for refuge or safety, especially to a foreign country, as in time of political upheaval, war” (Dictionary.com) all over

since 1991 (Gervais 526). International governments and “decision makers” are trying to understand ways of avoiding technological attacks, but have difficulty as cyber warfare changes often making it difficult to understand what we already have (Gervais 526). On the other hand, there are some things the United States has been doing to help mitigate the issues of cyber-attacks. In October or 2012, President Obama signed a “classified directive” to help give the Pentagon a better idea on what they need

The process of footprinting is the first step to gather information of hackers. To prevent a successful attack we need to obtain as much information possible, the hackers will try to learn everything and all the aspects possible from the perspective organization’s security posture, their profile of their Internet their remote access capabilities and intranet/extranet presence (Scambray, McClure, and Kurtz 2001). Any good or successful hacker will build their information database about any company

P&G convinced them they were just as good, if not better. Lastly, know onescompetitors. It is easier to defend an attack when one has paid attention to the potential threats. Most companies don’t realize who their actual competitors are until it’s too late, and usually it’s the smaller companies they over-looked. Foster states usually 7 out of 10 attacks are successful; therefore 3 attacks may be unsuccessful. What did those defenders do? Foster states that there are three ways a defender can strike

The Security department of any company can be seen as the department that says ‘no’ because they are the ones who usually put the axe down on ideas. As stated in the article about Dunkin Brands, “Security departments have long been thought of as a place where ideas go to die,” This idea has been planted well into the minds of workers in every division of almost any business. Security departments go by the book, sometimes can lack innovation, and tend to do things in order to maintain protection for

Motivated Digital Civil Disobedience: Is Hacktivism Morally Justified? In this paper I am going to explore Himma’s argument and object to his premise that the amount of harm that is produced by an act of hacktivism depends on the moral nature of the attack and the moral standing of the victims.            First Himma’s argues that, to determine if an act of hacktivism is morally justified depends on how much harm is done. Himma’s first premise shows that there is a possibility that some acts of hacktivism

Note: Unemployment rates are drawn from the Bureau of Labour Statistics’ website. http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet. GDP per Capita data is drawn from the World Bank. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=2015&locations=US&start=2006. Based on these indicators, it is fairly clear that, at least in a macroeconomic sense, the US economy is doing well. Based on Vavreck’s theory, we should therefore expect that Clinton runs a clarifying campaign, focused on the economy, while

1. Introduction In September of 2014, Home Depot suffered what was at that time considered the second largest data breach in history. Section 2 provides background and details of the attack and identifies the methodology used and specific type of attack. Section 3 identifies the threat actors, the information that was taken, and how the information could be used. Section 4 identifies the specific vulnerabilities that were exploited and how attackers can be discouraged in the future. Finally, Section

men and women, and the labeling theory discusses the stigma of giving titles to those due to certain appearances, actions, etc… I have also found some solutions that could aid in bringing light and helping victims be more comfortable with reporting attacks. These solutions would involve creating safe zones within the military base for victims, although the entire base should feel safe for soldiers, but due to the issue then a space should be provided for those who are on
