Cyber Crime Scenarios

In the first scenario, there is mention of a young man hacking into his school's network and changing grades. This is quite severe. He took teachers' passwords, broke into the school's network, changed grades, and installed malware. With this he could easily change other students' grades and possibly get them in trouble as accomplices.

In the second scenario a hacker sends malware through instant messages. By doing this the hacker is sending the virus through to other people without their knowledge. By using a site that others normally think is safe, they have no way of preventing the invasion of their privacy.

In the third scenario an employee of a company cheats the system to make himself extra money. This person's actions could cause the company to lose the trust of customers. The other workers could be losing serious money or could be under suspicion if this one employee was capable of this.

Blog Reflection

There are a number of blogs I'd be interested in looking into. I take a huge interest in music, and I would love to read blogs about upcoming events or releases of artists I enjoy. I also wouldn't mind reading reviews of albums or concerts performed by these artists. In turn, I would also like to blog about my experiences and knowledge of a group. I also really enjoy musicals. I would like to read reviews of shows on Broadway. There are quite a few musicals I have not seen, and I'd like to know other people's opinions. I have seen quite a few musicals in my time and wouldn't mind imparting my experiences. I'm always looking for new movies to watch, so reviews blogged by other people would give me an inside perspective. I  have seen quite a few movies, and I would like to give my opinions to others.

Google and Delicious

I have learned that delicious is a bookmarking site for various websites. It is useful for keeping a traveling list of all the sites I visit in this class regularly. I learned that google is the most popular search engine on the internet. The site attempts to keep an unbiased view when it creates a ranking list as results.Google is continuously creating new innovations to help the every day person search the internet.
