– Spell check, revise and edit your messages before sending them.
– Use appropriate subject lines that reflect the content of the message.
• Be polite and careful.
– Do not use ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS!!! or multiple exclamation marks,
as it is sometimes difficult to understand the tone of the message.
– Typing in all capital letters is synonymous to yelling at someone.
– Avoid sarcasm and irony, which can be misinterpreted by the reader.
– Refrain from using inappropriate or offensive language.
– Remember you are not talking to a machine; there is a person on the
other end of your message.
14. • Demonstrate respect for the opinions of others
when responding to your classmates.
• Remember that you are communicating within a
classroom and behave accordingly.

campus (ie the store in your town)
• Teams will be split among the class with two captains
• Team captains will choose either Wendy’s or Dunkin
Donuts
• Each team will research their company’s Wi-Fi information
to determine: a) If it is a safe bet to use their company’s
Wi-Fi and b) If it is a safe bet to use the other team’s
company’s Wi-Fi
• There is a right answer; for one very important reason

Cybercrime is any criminal action perpetrated primarily through the use of a computer.
Cybercriminals are individuals who use computers, networks, and the Internet to perpetrate crime.
Four common categories of complaints received were FBI-related scams, identity theft, nonauction/non-delivery of merchandise, and advance fee fraud.
Although the top four complaints all relate to some type of fraud, other complaints received involved equally serious matters such as computer intrusions—hacking—child pornography, and blackmail.
Many victims of identity theft spend months, or even years, trying to repair their credit and eliminate fraudulent debts.
Identity theft occurs when a thief steals personal information such as your name, address, Social Security number, birth date, bank account number, and credit card information and runs up debts in your name.
The nefarious acts cover a wide range of activities.
A survey by the Messaging, Malware and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG) found that half of e-mail users in North America and Europe have opened spam.
A hacker is most commonly defined as anyone who unlawfully breaks into a computer system.
Hackers may be identified as:
White-hat hackers break into systems for nonmalicious reasons such as to test system security vulnerabilities or to expose undisclosed weaknesses.
Black-hat hackers break into systems to destroy information or for illegal gain.
Grey-hat hackers illegally break into systems to flaunt their expertise or to attempt to sell their services in repairing security breaches.
A packet analyzer (sniffer) is a program deployed by hackers that looks at (or sniffs) each packet as it travels on the Internet.
A keylogger is a program that captures all keystrokes made on a computer.
A Trojan horse is a program that appears to be something useful or desirable, but does something malicious in the background without your knowledge.
Backdoor programs and rootkits are programs that allow hackers to gain access to your computer and take almost complete control of it without your knowledge.
A computer that a hacker controls is referred to as a zombie. Zombies are often used to launch denial-of-service attacks on other computers.
In a denial-of-service attack, legitimate users are denied access to a system because a hacker is repeatedly making requests of that system through a computer the hacker has taken over as a zombie. A computer can handle only a certain number of requests for information at one time. When it is flooded with requests, it shuts down and refuses to answer any requests for information, even if the requests are from a legitimate user.
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, launches DoS attacks from more than one zombie at the same time.
Viruses are not limited to computers; smartphones, tablet computers, and other devices can be infected.
Creating and disseminating viruses are two of the most widespread types of cybercrimes.
A virus’s main purpose is to replicate itself and copy its code into as many other host files as possible.
The majority of viruses have secondary objectives or side effects.
Downloading and running a file that’s attached to the e-mail are common ways to infect your computer.
Viruses can be classified by the methods they take to avoid detection:
A polymorphic virus changes its code to avoid detection. Most polymorphic viruses infect a particular type of file.
A multipartite virus is designed to infect multiple file types in an effort to fool the antivirus software that is looking for it.
Stealth viruses temporarily erase their code from the files where they reside and hide in the active memory of the computer.
Malware is software that has a malicious intent
Adware displays unsponsored advertisements
Spyware is an unwanted program that downloads with other software from the Internet and runs in the background.
Spyware transmits information about you.
Many spyware programs use tracking cookies.
A keystroke logger program monitors keystrokes.
Other anti-spyware programs are easy to install and update.
Spam is unwanted or junk e-mail.
There are several ways to help avoid spam:
Create a free e-mail address
Spam filters
Buy third-party programs
Reclassify e-mails that have been misidentified as spam
Scareware is a type of malware that downloads onto your computer and tries to convince you that your computer is infected with a virus or other type of malware.
You’re then directed to a website where you can buy fake removal or antivirus tools that provide little or no value.
Scareware is a social engineering technique because it uses people’s fear of computer viruses to convince them to part with their money.
A firewall is a software program or hardware device designed to protect computers from hackers.
Both Windows and OS X include reliable firewalls. The Windows Action Center is a good source of information about the security settings on your computer, including the status of your firewall.
Security suites such as Norton Internet Security, McAfee Internet Security, and ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite also include firewall software.
Antivirus software is specifically designed to detect viruses and protect your computer and files from harm. Symantec, Kaspersky, AVG, and McAfee are among the companies that offer highly rated antivirus software packages.
Antivirus protection is also included in comprehensive Internet security packages such as Norton Internet Security, Kaspersky Internet Security, and McAfee Total Protection. These software packages also help protect you from threats other than computer viruses.
Strong passwords are difficult for someone to guess.
There are many password generators available for free, such as the Strong Password Generator.
You can use online password strength testers, such as the Password Meter, to evaluate your passwords.
To restrict access to your computer, Windows, OS X, and most other operating systems have built-in password (or passcode) protection for files as well as the entire desktop.
A biometric authentication device is a device that reads a unique personal characteristic such as a fingerprint or the iris pattern in your eye and converts it to a digital code.
Because no two people have the same biometric characteristics, these devices provide a high level of security.
Other biometric devices, including voice authentication and facial recognition systems, are now widely offered in notebook computers, tablets, and smartphones.
The data on your computer faces three major threats:
Unauthorized access
Tampering
Destruction
Backups
Copies of files that you can use to replace the originals if they’re lost or damaged
Power surges occur when an electrical current is supplied in excess of normal voltage. Old or faulty wiring, downed power lines, malfunctions at electric company substations, and lightning strikes can all cause power surges.
A surge protector protects your computer.
Replace surge protectors every 2–3 years or after a major surge.
All electronic devices that have solid-state components, such as TVs, stereos, printers, and cell phones should be connected to a surge protector.
You have four main security concerns with mobile devices:
Keeping them from being stolen
Keeping data secure in case they are stolen
Finding a device if it is stolen
Remotely recovering and wiping data off a stolen device
Cookies are small text files that some websites automatically store on your hard drive when you visit them.
Companies use this information to determine the traffic flowing through their website and the effectiveness of their marketing strategy.
Cookies do not go through your hard drive in search of personal information.
The main concern is that advertisers will use this information indiscriminately, thus invading your privacy.
Cookies pose no security threat because it is virtually impossible to hide a virus or malicious software program in a cookie.
Phishing lures Internet users to reveal personal information.
Pharming occurs when malicious code is planted on your computer.
These guidelines help to avoid such schemes:
Never reply directly to any e-mail asking for personal information.
Don’t click on a link in an e-mail.
Check with the company asking for information.
Never give personal information over the Internet unless you know the site is secure.
Use phishing filters.
Use Internet security software that’s constantly being updated.
Ethics = unwritten rules; Law = written rules
Two groups are attacked by hackers – young adults [18 to 19 year olds] due to their available credit and elderly people due to their financial stability
DoS = denial-of-service attack

Secure passwords and securing devices; questions on Security Assignment #1
Web encryption secures your web browsing, data encryption prevents unwarranted access to information you send, and Wi-Fi encryption prevents unwarranted access to your system [internet connection]. The lock shows secure websites.
Hackers may be identified as:
White-hat hackers break into systems for nonmalicious reasons such as to test system security vulnerabilities or to expose undisclosed weaknesses.
Black-hat hackers break into systems to destroy information or for illegal gain.
Grey-hat hackers illegally break into systems to flaunt their expertise or to attempt to sell their services in repairing security breaches.

A mobile device is at the same risk as a stationary device, but has one more opportunity for hackers to hack into your device [Bluetooth]. When using a mobile device you need to have features on your device that can prevent security issues [such as antivirus software], you need to be able to detect any issues that may occur, and react to them in an appropriate manner, such as wiping your device.
Your mobile devices can be accessed through the Wi-Fi, downloading Apps, and via Bluetooth.
Only download from trusted sources and refrain from downloading when on an unsafe network such as a Hotspot or Wi-Fi outside of the home or trusted network.
Yes, Apple products are more secure than other products, but not without issues/flaws.
