Portfolio Assignment Week 8
I
am searching week 8 assignment for HCC online library. I found very interesting
two articles about network security and how it is works. One article is “all
internet users’ needs to be their guard for hacker” According to Tom Cross, the
director of security at Lancope said average different groups are trying to
break into computer system.
On recent year, Chinese government
hacks to spy US government agencies. Because they wanted to know about what
planned in the future and what technology America are developing. So, that is
the most dangerous issue and we can says the signal of new cyber war between global
south and north. Attacker can follow your mobile devices where users are
located and they can potentially control of it. So it’s very useful and
valuable resource for them. The second article is John.F Kennedy Airport a
person of security screen scanner steal $ 5000 from the passenger money. A
traveler who had cash in $ 5000 jacket in his bag, on appear screening X-ray
machine, short time later that he noticed the money is missing then he report
to the authorities. The airport CCTV record catch the security screener take
those bag and take the money.
So,
my opinion is technology can attack and protect people life. It’s depending on
how the user is relying on internet and cellphone. The user should to keep
trust information to bank account and access code, personal information and
secret business plans. You have to understand if you do to buy by online
shopping such as books or clothes whatever your account is not unsecure. Let me
share my experience, someone fraud and attach my bank account twice. Because, I
always bought by online text books.
