The forms they get the information to the U.S. government are: putting data onto a memory disk or external hard drive, or printing out the requested information for a federal official. Google says, FTP, also known as file transfer protocol, is an often used method for exchanging information between servers with extra security. By Google agreeing to this agreement the federal government can catch more criminals and terrorist. Next, I will cover one of our former presidents who believed in the NSA spying on our citizens. “President George W. Bush told CNN that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden “damaged the country,” but defended the PRISM surveillance program that his administration
People know that they are there, but the CIA used the cameras to help them capture the reporter and Jason Bourne so their secrets will remain secret. Later on in the movie the CIA officials sent an assassin to kill the reporter, and the cameras assisted in locating the position of the reporter. When the assassin shot him the security cameras were purposely turned off. This is not acceptable the cameras are not there to aide murderers. The CIA is protected by the Patriot Act which allows them to access medical records, tax records, and information about the books that one buys or borrow without probable cause, and the power to break into your home and conduct secret searches without warning or probable
The Discourse and the Underlying Issues: A Dissection Brian Lee, after making the DRM complaint, ended up in a heated rhetoric about online piracy with the maker of the computer game console. The event took place in the company's message boards with a customer support agent. His main argument was that it should not be wrong, and so thus
But it didn’t get to the Networked organizational structure level since there is no informal communications that connect all parts of the company. (IT’S A FLAT HIERARCHY because hierarchy is formed where divisions are responsible for segments of the work process). 2- I would say that the primary role of IT was Strategic and intended to increase individual and group effectiveness, as indicated by MR.Randy that the goal was to run each store essentially as the first store, and to free mangers to do things more important than paperwork. And the dominate technology was Microcomputers decentralized intelligence. I wouldn’t say the IT was intended to create value or value extension since it was not focusing on external relations with other firms in the value chain(customer’s ,suppliers).
Obtaining the research wasn’t hard, for Costco doesn’t seem like one of those companies who are illusive and try to maintain discreet with all their operations. The two founders are always doing interviews, and provide much commentary and insight into their working world and the evolution of Costco. There were no major obstacles performing my research, but it was rather hard to find a major Costco scandal that plagued them. The reason for that is because there isn’t any of such a severe magnitude! Costco Wholesale Corporation was founded on September 15th, 1983 by James Sinegal and Jeffrey Brotman.
Surfers Beware! The Term cyberstalking seems to be cropping up everywhere but no one knows exactly what it means. Cyberstalking can be defined as threatening behavior or unwanted advances directed at another using the Internet and other forms of online and computer communications (The National Center for Victims of Crime, (NCVC). n.d.). Cyberstalking is an extension of the physical form of stalking but it is harder to detect the perpetrator because of the anonymity issues from electronic communications.
To begin with, Snowden’s revelations made know to the public that the NSA has been collecting phone records on millions of US citizens as well as running an electronic surveillance program code name PRISM. This secret program allows the agency to access the servers of major US internet companies and collect data on individuals’ web activities. Hence it violates our privacy laws, fourth amendment’s rights just to name a few. In an extensive article from Issues and Controversies, after the 9/11 terrorist attack, NSA embarked on broad surveillance programs which has kept the homeland safe from such
Unit 1: Introduction to Forensic Evidence and Crime Investigation May 1, 2012 CONTENTS Introduction 3 Definition of Cyber Terrorism 4 Types of Evidence 6 References 8 Introduction The proliferation of computers connected to telephone modems that began in the early 1980s increased the vulnerability of computer systems and enabled the birth of hackers, individuals capable of illegally entering computer networks and even of altering its content. This vulnerability made United States intelligence agencies began to speculate on the possibility of some terrorist group to commit attacks or acts of sabotage on a large scale using telematics media, without even that the aggressor is within United States territory. To denote that any category of terrorist acts is coined the term cyber terrorism. The hypothetical attacks cyber terrorists fear was accentuated during the year’s ´90 due to several factors, such as the emergence of the Internet and its massive penetration into society. This multiplied the amount of existing modems; it increased the vulnerability of many private networks (as they came to be connected to the Internet, which is a network of public access) and encouraged the proliferation of hackers to penetrate a network illegally or manufacture virus capable of infecting thousands of computers, became increasingly easier.
They did so by applying encryption around sensitive files (Lerner, 2012). Nevertheless, with the rapid advancements of IT, including computer-to-computer communication, breaking into other computer systems, also known as hacking, became widespread. In 1981, twenty-four year old, Ian Murphy demonstrated the government’s vulnerability. He hacked into several government databases, including the White House switchboard. At this time, computer crime laws, such as trespassing, fraud, and abuse were nonexistent.
Our country is under constant threat by terrorists and crime organizations, and our government is using communications technology to help combat them. But just how closely can the government monitor you? The movie Eagle Eye presents a world where this power has gotten out of control and backfired on society. In the movie, a top secret supercomputer known as ARIIA (Autonomous Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst), uses a network of cameras to aid the government in detecting possible terror threats and violence beforehand (Tuynman par. 1).
