On December 12th, 2015 Target was notified by the Department of Justice that there was evidence of a breach within its network. On December 15th, 2015 target confirmed this breach and destroyed the malware on its systems, though too little too late. Fourty million credit card numbers and seventy million sets of personally identifiable information including names, addresses, phone numbers, and personal identification numbers for debit cards were stolen. Interestingly enough, target had intrusion detection systems in place which warned the security operations center in Minneapolis at the beginning of the attack, though these warnings were left unanswered. Due to Target 's negligence, millions of pieces of personally identifiable information were exfiltrated from its network. Reportedly, the beginning of the breach relied on the compromise of contractor credentials who worked on target HVAC systems. These HVAC systems apparently were connected to targets secure private network without restriction, which clearly violates basic defense in depth and principle of least privilege components of any rudimentary security architecture. For the layman, the question is: Why would anyone in …show more content…
Target 's negligence illustrates a greater problem in society, the increasing reliance we have on computer systems to provide for our survival and the inherent danger the insecurity and design flaws of these systems poses in not just our financial lives, but perhaps our physical lives as well. Computer systems control delivery of our electricity, water supply, and the operation of dangerous manufacturing processes, nuclear power plants, and others dangerous machinery and critical infrastructure necessary for our survival. As time goes on data breaches and security lapses will only become increasingly severe, and it will be left to the hands of the information assurance professional to gauge risk and take appropriate measures to resolve the disparate emphasis between usability and
Case: 791 F2d 189 Thompson Medical Co. Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission Facts: This case concerns a complaint brought by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") against petitioner Thompson Medical Company under Secs. The Commission ordered Thompson to refrain from making unsubstantiated claims that Aspercreme is effective and to disclose in the product 's labeling and advertising that it does not contain aspirin. Thompson challenges the FTC 's order as arbitrary and capricious, contrary to public policy, unsupported by substantial evidence, and discordant with applicable Commission precedent.
The security controls, policies, procedures, and guidelines were tested using the security testing plan that was evaluated by a security team to correct and report flaws in the system design. The only major flaw doesn’t relate to the network or the physical system itself, but instead policies and procedures seem to be at the highest risk. Policies and procedures explain that the chain of custody during media transportation and disposal should be logged and tracked impeccably. I believe putting stronger controls in place for the transportation of media would lower the risk of exposed confidentiality tremendously. I believe each device used to transport should be trackable at any given time, rather than just by logs.

The year is 1963, and Clarence Earl Gideon is falsely accused of a crime. Under Florida law, being charged with breaking and entering with the intent to commit a misdemeanor is a felony, and Mr. Gideon was the unfortunate victim here (Facts par 2). Like many Americans of his time, Clarence had only an eighth education (Facts par 1). He roamed in and out of prisons, which explains why he was poor (Facts par 1). Lacking the funds to pay an attorney, Clarence requested the judge to appoint him one (Facts par 2).
Marques Underwood INSS 391 Security and the Future With the transition of companies leaning towards advancing through the usage of big data, cybersecurity and the trends in technology are creating an increase in threats. The goal is to protect the databases and devices used at these companies before they are hacked and compromised for unwanted reasons. We’ll see the general concerns with security in the IT field, and steps that specific companies are taking to prevent and adopt to the landscape of the future in security. Devices are increasing at a rapid pace these days, meaning the more data is being expanding.

Myself and all members of the M.A.P.P.S/SPU are fully aware of the importance of information security, given our access to this material. Additionally, with regards to dealing with information security, I have also been the system manager of two distinct and complex data systems. The first being the Voice-box wiretap system. My duties as a member of the Electronic Surveillance Unit consisted of, direct handling of Computer Data Warrants, provisioning of court ordered wiretaps for various NJSP and outside agencies, assisting in the installation of hidden surveillance equipment, and administrating the Voice-box wiretap data system which contained thousands of confidential recordings from hundreds of
In this case, Ray Knight’s parents (plaintiffs) are seeking liability compensation against the School District (defendants) for the alleged negligence of their son’s middle school. School officials gave Ray Knight a three day suspension for unexcused absences. Although, the School District’s policy is to give parents phone notification and written notification through the mail for student suspension, Knight’s middle school officials sent the written notice home with Knight. In an attempt to hide the information from his parents, Knight crumpled the notification and disposed of it away.
Imagine for a second that every phone call you make, every text message you send, and every place you go is being constantly monitored by multiple governments. Well this is basically what the United State and United Kingdom's government is doing on a daily basis. The United States National Security Agency has been implementing projects in secret to monitoring people since 2001 but it would still be kept as a secret if Edward Snowden did not reveal this massive secret that was intruding the public’s privacy for years. The U.S. surveillance program started because of the September 9th, 2001 terrorist attack that hijacked airplanes and slammed them into the World Trade Center towers.
Diebel blames attributes the blame to banks when they chose security questions to "improve their security measures for online banking" (2). She says that other websites probably assumed the banks knew what they were doing and followed suit (2). She states that security questions are much more insecure than they seem at first glance, and "the answers to many of them can be easily researched or guessed" (3). She also points out incidents of famous people 's accounts getting hacked into via security questions (5), followed by an example of a recent cyber attack on average people (6, 7). Diebel also includes a quote from a cybersecurity expert stating that one reason security questions are still used is because of convenience, instead of having good security (8).

In order for Target to keep customer satisfaction high, they need to keep the number customer being injured or harmed inside the store to a minimum. They also need to make sure the products it sells inside their stores do not harm customers. This risk management work will lay the foundation for the risk evaluation of new products being sold inside the store. Target will also create a process to respond to alerts from manufacturers that there is a potential risk to customer
