1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business, Government 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Apple, Google, iOS device users 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Privacy, Anonymity 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. iPhone smartphone - Apple's iPhone smartphone that includes various smart features such as receiving e-mail, and application, more than just the average phone. Location recognition - the feature on the iPhone that allows the users to be recognized by their location near wifi hubs. Apple was ordered to encrypt location data of people using iPhones to address privacy concerns but the users claim that the device secretly collected information of the users' whereabouts. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). A solution to the privacy issue would be for users to turn off the location-recognition features on their iPhones so that Apple doesn't have access to your phone. Apple needs to be more careful with their data collection process, as well as encrypting the data so there is no breach of privacy of its users, or completely get rid of the whole system itself.

Why are iphones tracking people? april 28' cream

Why are iphones tracking people? This is the issue of storing user's location data in unencrypted file. The file, named "consolidated.db," is an unencrypted SQLite database that can be found in the devices' file systems and in the iOS backup files created and updated by iTunes every time an iPhone or 3G iPad is synced. Since, we know that Apple is actually collecting location and some information on iphone that's why iphone is not safe at all. Although the file isn't immediately accessible on the device itself, it can be accessed on a jailbroken device via the iTunes-generated backup file. It also could potentially be accessed using other tools that allow you to explore an iOS device's file system while it's attached to a computer.

This article starts with issue of one woman losing her iPhone, which was stolen by someone who lives 20 km away from her. Since there is a app called Track my iPhone, she used this app to go after the thieve and asked for her iPhone back. Not only her who had been finding the thief herself but lots of people are doing it to avoid conflict with the police. This is causing a concern with the police officer because of the increase in phone robbery in many places and if these are gang member, it can cause life to be lost. Even though the police had devoted more resources to combat the theft, but accessibility of police is quite low. Therefore, people usually like to take action alone neglecting the danger that they might find. Therefore, police came up with further and better solution called 'kill switch'. Which automatically make your phone unavailable and unattractive to the thieves.

What is Kill switch? How is it beneficial to protect your personal information on your phone?

Malicious Applications that log details about incoming/outgoing phone calls, as well as recording the calls. They can create unwanted service charges subscriptions to phone users. The users may or may not even receive the "service" that was subscribed, and paid for. They cab intercept text messages, compromise emails, photos and private content. Malicious applications that appear to be games, calculators, or pornographic photos and videos are downloaded to smartphones. Malware that replies incoming text messages with spam links. E-mail based phishing - because the phone screens are smaller than computers, it is harder to tell apart phishing links and scams in the url. iPhone's unencrypted file of location logs for iPhone users. Jailbroken iPhones that run unauthorized content is also a gap where malware can get through. Because these apps are unauthorized, they haven't gone through Apple's authorization process, and can contain malware, and can hack the user's phone. o By Malicious Application= The Applications which Apple and Android offers to customer, sometimes have malicious worms or viruses. Sometimes, malicious applications masquerade to games, calculators, or pornographic photos and videos. Hackers made their own malicious app and phishing people to download. The payment will charge to the victim's phone bills. o By Phishing Texting= Personal texting sometimes contain spam and malicious links which lead to the hacking site o By Advertisement link= Viruses might attach to the advertisement link o By Weak Security= Weak security of iPhone and Android phone therefore, find the weak part of the phone and hack. o By E-mail= Users tend to be less caring on phones, as the words and the screen itself are small

How does apple propose to solve the tracking program? Describe two examples of data tracking services that people use. Do you think privacy is still an issue with phones and apps? May 17 cream

1. How does apple propose to solve the tracking program? Apple released newly developed software that cuts the amount of stored data to just a week and no longer transfer it to the owner's computer when the phone is connected. And if users disable the location services setting on their iPhone or iPad, it will stop collecting data completely. 2. Describe two examples of data tracking services that people use. - Foursquare: Foursquare is a location-based social networking website based on software for mobile devices. - Mobile Me: Mobile Me automatically pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events to your iPhone, Mac, and PC. So your devices always stay in perfect sync. 3. Do you think privacy is still an issue with phones and apps? Of course yes because mobile devices are connected to networks for all the time in order to access to files and media. Privacy is always going to be an issue with phones and apps because even though Apple is storing data for shorter time, the stored data can be used or leaked anytime when threats attack.

Data can be automatically synchronized across a network. The app can store data created on the phone itself, all the while also synchronizing the same data with a cloud service or a data center. The storage space taken up by CouchDB's NoSQL has efficient use of working memory. When it is embed in an app, it can still keep the app to be under the 20 mb download limit, and doesn't drain the battery.

Explain the issue with Path. Evaluate Apple's solution.  Should services such as Path take or hold our data? all feb 21 johnroy

Explain the issue with Path. When you take apps by log in from your iOS device then it would take you personal information and put it into the Apple server. It does this without permission of the user. The reason why is doing this to locate the user where you are at and your friends. Evaluate Apple's solution. Their solution is just to add new feature so you would be aware that apps would take your private information and put into the main server apple server. When you're downloading or getting apps you need to approve that they get you privacy information. Should services such as Path take or hold our data? I believe that they shouldn't because it's hard to trust large companies. The information that they have could be sold to other person that interest about your privacy. Another possible solution is that the data that is stored could be hacked anytime and when this occurrence happens. The hacker can sell my privacy to someone or he directly knows where I live, what's my name and etc.

Most smart appliances have an accompanying application. Those applications are available on iOS and android. (Samsung's washer and dryer application is working on only iOS and Samsung's Galaxy mobile devices, not the rest of the Android devices.) There are some examples of using iOS to control the smart appliances 1. LG Smart ThinQ LFX31995ST LG Smart ThinQ app will tell you the internal temperatures of both the refrigerator and freezer, and whether it's on energy-saving mode or not. You can make grocery lists and automatically update your inventory once you've checked an item off the list. Also, you can search for recipes on the fridge based on what your fridge has in stock. 2. Whirlpool WRL767SIAM Side-by-Side Refrigerator with 6th Sense Live it transmits information directly to the free app on your smart device. Whirlpool's app can let you know, if the refrigerator door is open or if there has been a power outage. Whirlpool has also enabled this refrigerator to connect to the smart grid if it's available in your area, which will let you monitor energy usage through its app. 3. GE Profile PT9550SFSS Built-In Double Convection Wall Oven The game-change app turns your phone into a remote control for the oven. You can set the temperature, mode, and time for both ovens independently and turn them on with app. 4. LG Smart ThinQ LRE3027ST oven Smart ThinQ app will allow you to search for recipes and then cue up the cook time and temperature accordingly, but you still have to manually press start on the oven itself. LG app allows you to run diagnostics on the range to make sure that everything is running as it should be. 5. LG Smart ThinQ WT6001HV Washer/Smart ThinQ DLEX6001V Electric Dryer LG's Smart ThinQ washing machine features a gorgeous touch screen and connects to LG's Smart ThinQ app via your smartphone or tablet. It doesn't have a smart-grid function like some other washer/dryer apps, but it's otherwise similar in that it lets you check your wash cycle

Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Sony, Geohot, users of PS3, users of Geohot, twitter, youtube, Google 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Privacy and anonymity 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. IP address : An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is usually a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Sources : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address iOS : iOS is Apple's mobile operating system. It was originally developed for the iPhone, and it has extended to support other Apple devices such as the iPod touch, iPad and Apple TV. Geohot : George Hotz, known for working with other people to unlock the iPhone, allowing the phone to be used with other wireless carriers. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). There is no possible solution because even if Sony gets hold of all IP addresses, there will be alternate ways for users to still access GeoHot's websites and videos. Moreover, the US justice system shouldn't give rights to companies to access personal information, because it is basically invading peoples' privacy.

Explain what the following means: Miriam Wugmeister, chair of the global privacy practice at law firm Morrison & Foerster, echoes that assessment and stresses than employers should make it clear to employees that they can't expect privacy using corporate devices. While she observes that allowing employees to backup personal devices containing corporate data on a home computer could pose an e-discovery problem in the event of litigation, she also says there are good technical solutions that allow corporate IT administrators to create sandboxes that segregate personal and corporate communications. april 28 woo
