1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. The area of impact the scenario relates to is 'business and employment'. 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholders to the IT system from this article are the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) and customers. 3. Identify and describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. The social/ethical concern that has been identified in this article is 'security'. Security refers to the protection of hardware, software from unauthorized access. Security tries to prevent the access by hackers. In this article, the RBA has been hacked (cyber attacked). For an example, the malware has embedded in the emails. They think it is China to blame because they thought that China has already been through a similar cyber attack, which aimed to get the information out of it. The staffs in the RBA have opened several malware emails. This malware application has managed to go through the computer system. 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. * Malware: Malware refers to software programs that are designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system. * Cyber Attack: Cyber attackers use malicious code to alter computer code,logic or data, resulting in disruptive consequences that can compromise data and lead to cyber-crimes (information and identity theft). * Computer Viruses: Small but insidious piece of programming-code that attacks computer and network systems through infected data files, introduced into a system via disks or Internet. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. Even though the RBA did not lose any of their information, it's better to have a safe security system/software to protect their information. The RBA needs to be more careful when opening email files, and for a better protection, they would need to find a better way to secure. I would suggest them to have an encryp

Are any corporate databases and networks safe? Should consumers be wary about providing personal data online? How valuable is data stored online? May 11 soo

Are any corporate databases and networks safe? According to the article, they mentioned that no corporation databases are not completely safe and secure enough to protect personal information. There are too much false which makes network perfectly safe. It is very large storage and contains a lot of personal information. If the network is too big, they can't manage the network well and all the weaknesses will occur. The hackers will aim to hack the corporate databases because it has a lot of information therefore; it is not actually very safe. Should consumers be wary about providing personal data online? Yes, consumers should be wary about providing personal data online, because all services that store the online data are all under risk of being hacked, and the data compromised. Once the sensitive information is compromised, the user is more vulnerable to scam attacks through e-mails, as well as have their bank accounts or other user accounts online hacked. consumers should be a warning to be wary about providing personal data online because no corporate networks are frequently attacked by hackers and no matter how diligently their administrators work to protect them or how many protections are put n place, no network is perfectly secure. Even Sony' security systems are not perfect at all. Therefore, people have to be wary about providing personal data online How valuable is data stored online? Data stored online is very valuable, especially sensitive information such as ID numbers and bank/credit card numbers. Other personal data such as names, passwords, and security question answers are useful for hackers, and can be easily used for impersonation on other sites to hack into user accounts for further bad intentions.
