- 1. Cyberstorm By: Janette Geoghan and Jose R. Valdez
- 2. Benefits of program Cyberstorm • The government can point out weaknesses of a companies Information systems • Weakness can then be turned into a strengh • Helps prevent cyber crimes from occuring • In the following slides we will see examples of scenarios which can be prevented through the program Cyberstorm and their consequences.
- 3. Scenario 1 • An authorized user steals credit reports and financial information and sells it. In this scenario the job is a inside job, someone that works from within and has privileges that others do not. This scenario can happen to anyone all you need is someone who is malicious and wants to take advantage of their position. The consequences for a scenario such as this one is serious punishment by the law if caught, but according to criminallaw.org most culprits of this type of information breach never get caught, which is actually very sad. (Cybercrimelaw.org)
- 4. Scenario 2 • Malicious software updates. In this scenario an attacker delivers software updates that enables them to see critical information on your hardware. Culprits of this scenario can expect many lawsuits but that’s only if the users of their program even notice it. In a article posted in criminallaw.org internet users sometimes install programs into their computer without knowing who created the software. An example of a company who did this is DirectRevenue. (Cybercrimelaw.org) They were using their program to get information on users bank accounts and social security numbers. A couple of users noticed and sued the company. After this DirectRevenue set up a link on their website to settle with those users who were abused.
- 5. Scenario 3 • Insider Abuse. This scenario is similar to number one but instead of someone who works for the company committing the act it is someone who is very knowledgeable in IT. In this case the punishment for such act is serious punishment by law but like stated before the percent of cyber criminals that get caught is not very high. (Cybercrimelaw.org)
