How did they attack? - By using emails that are attatched with viruses, they attacked Norway's industrial secrets and information using their hacked network. However, none of the anti-malware software detect these emails. What was stolen? - Industrial drawings, user names, passwords, contracts negotiation and documents were stolen from the attack. Describe a possible solution - The whole attack was from "viruses." Which means that the company should feel necessary to have another stronger and higher quality of anti-malware software. When it detects things properly and more clearly, that means more possibility of defending the attacks that might happen in the future.

Smart phones could be costly because it's download, upload and connect to the network almost all the time. People that use smart phones and don't have good deals or promotions,and people use data more than they think, so the phone company can cost the data that we download, upload with the network, and smart phones can do many thing that use a lot of data and it will cost a lot of money, for example sending 10 photos it's take 10MBand watch video on youtube it will take 15MB per video, etc. In this case the solutions are that users should make sure that they get the right deal or promotion, that they won't get a big bill in the end of the month. Secondly, there are people that use unlimit promotion, but every deal have a gap, so the phone company should tell their customers, or send the users a messages to warning them that they used data more than the deal they got.

How was the attack done? The hackers were able to obtain credentials from a company that makes software used to control the industrial systems. How did they know an attack happened? They knew that there was an attack because one of the pumps that is used to deliver water to the city was turned off. Why is this an important issue? This is an important issue because it indicates the amount of attention the United States government is giving to cyber-attacks. A terrorist attack like the one happened on September 9th 2001 can be said to be the faults of those who were monitoring the cyber activity. If the government aren't able to connect the dots to why they are doing this and the patterns of the attacks it might cause the US to be under attack like what happened over ten years ago. Describe a possible solution. Since that the credential software are saved on the clients' server, the employees can do a part in protecting the software. The staffs can help support the software.

The most common causes of data loss and downtime are hardware failure, power outage and software malfunction. One solution is to regularly back up data (daily) and make sure that the computer has a recovery system enabled. The second solution is to plug every computer into a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) in case of power outage.

BRUSSLES can't block users from downloading illegally because that would breach the EU rules. SABAM asked the court in Belgian to force scarlet to install a device to prevent users from downloading copyrighted work. Scarlet then had to install the device. The EU made a statement that that internet providers should have to install a filtering system. The ruling of that made the BEUC (consumer organization) get authorities thinking of a fairer way to provide legal downloads. Monique Goyens said that there is no point in trying to catch individual people for file sharing because there are so many it would be impossible to stop.

The article said that this was a revelation by Edward Snowden who has been welcomed by Germany. This is why on Saturday; thousands of demonstrators in Berlin demand the NSA to stop monitory internet users. As Der Spiegel said, NSA and GCHQ have been able to read smartphone users contacts and lists of who had been called. This disclosure has ignited a heat of debate in Germany.

One of David Marcus's biggest challenges when taking on the role of President of PayPal was extending the platform into point of sale, and making it easier to pay with PayPal than swiping your credit card. But changing consumer behavior is an enormously difficult task. PayPal played with geo-location leveraging GPS and Wi-Fi for iOS and Android. These technologies are what powers Square's hands free payment system 'Pay with Square. But they found that it ended up being a poor experience for the consumer because it sucked the batter life out of their phones. PayPal also warns that it is aware of the potential privacy issues so PayPal Beacon won't constantly track your location unlike other technologies. If you enter a store and decline to check in, or just ignore the prompt entirely, no information is transmitted to PayPal or the merchant. PayPal has also said that there will be no ads served via the platform. As evidenced by PayPal latest app update from last week, the company is making a big bet on creating an in-store experience for both consumers and retailers. It's ambitious to say the least because not only does the payments company have to change the behavior of the consumer (from just swiping a card) but it also has to convince retailers and the 100 million plus PayPal users that it is worth it. Marcus says that providing a frictionless experience for both parties will be the key to success when changing behavior.

PayPal Beacon: A small hardware device that runs on its own Wi-Fi, plugs into an outlet and serves as a beacon to other devices. It updates itself and the storekeeper doesn't have to touch it at all.
