    What does it mean to leverage social networks? To leverage social networks, is to use social networks in order to promote their product, such as using it as a tool for advertising. Define digimarketing. Digimarketing basically is marketing, but based and interacted with the social media. Businesses would do advertising, selling products, etc. online for customers that are online. Explain the mistakes marketers make with social networking. Marketers are not using the 'social' side of the social networking sites as an advantage, and just promoting, instead of interacting with their customers. Like for example via Twitter, some marketers try to take advantage of the 'Twitter trend', and promote their product using the words that are trending, so that more people will see, even though their product has nothing to do with the trending word. This may lead to negative comments from users.

    drive-by downloads Drive-by downloads are downloads to the computer that are harmful, and are downloaded because the user doesn't know that the download took place, what was downloaded (virus, malware) or downloaded something, but didn't know it was malware. When a malicious website is visited, malware may be downloaded to the computer without users even knowing. Solutions to prevent drive-by downloads include having the internet security suite (like Norton Internet Security) installed and kept up to date. Also, using a proxy can filter the web content (like Vidalia). The user's antivirus firewall should always be turned on. http://www.softwarenewsdaily.com/2010/12/drive-by-downloads-malware-installed-without-your-knowledge http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/794101/how_to_prevent_driveby_downloads_.html Clickjacking Clickjacking, also known as user-interface (UI) redressing, is one of the most common attacks against users by creating malicious pages that tricking users to click on buttons and links which reveal sensitive information, or can allow the attacker to take over control of the user's computer. The true function of the button is hidden under an opaque layer that shows something different to trick the users. A possible solution to clickjacking is the "walled garden" that iPhone has.

  •  
    Basically, what people do on social networks are; like people's statuses, comment on others' pictures, retweet others' statuses and etc. This can help companies like Google determine what the user might be interested in, as these activities on social networks sites reflect the users' behaviour online. Moreover, we tend to show to other users what you are interested in, (like liking fan pages)therefore a lot of the information companies like Google can get out from these websites are accurate. They can then put sites that they might take interest in at the top (first page), which may be more efficient for the user looking for that information, and the website itself.

    Explain why becoming a data consultant might be a good career choice. Basically, their jobs are to help businesses make sense of an explosion of data Web traffic and social network comments as well as software and sensors that monitor shipments, suppliers and customers. So, since a great number of people have used the Internet frequently, their jobs are needed to people because as much as people use the Internet, the data will be increased and people need other people who can manage such things. Why is data measurement considered to be the modern equivalent of the microscope? The reason is that there is countless data sensor around the world. The sensors can measure and communicate location, movement, vibration, temperature, humidity, even chemical changes in the air. How has data-driven decision making improved productivity? Data-driven decision making has improved productivity because people collect as much as data they can before deciding. As people doing that, they can predict preference of consumers from the Internet. It is very useful because people don't have to spend much time on consumers' preference also, a small amount of money and time will be spent. How is Big Data transforming the way social networks function? Social networks websites such as Facebook and Twitter and Search engines like Google and Answer.com make profit with their users' data. Many companies will buy the users' data from Facebook, Google, Answer.com and Twitter. That's a way to earn money for social network websites.

    Omo GPS stunt opens doors for marketers 1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business and employment 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Buyers who buy box of detergent, and users of technologies and companies like Unilever, Google, Microsoft and Apple 3. Identify and describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. The main concern in this article is privacy. The article shows the detergent company detects their consumers who bought products with GPS for their event prize. It means, this intrusive behavior can find where you live where you go if you become the target. Besides, Google or other social networking site also makes use of people's personal information without their consent. This truly destroys your privacy, the right to decide how much information you will show to others. Furthermore, there is possibility that somebody gets your information from these companies and give harm to you, such as robbing your house 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. GPS- space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites social networking site- a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. One solution to stop these intruders in your life is enacting strict laws that companies can't detect where their customers live and get the consent if they use the information. Government should protect citizen's privacy from danger. Companies should get consent if they want to use customer's private information, and if customers don't want it(such as stoking customer's house) they must stop to intrude other's privacy.

Describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Security is the main issue in this article since it is dealing with worms, which infects and damage computer files. 4. Describe the relationship of the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholder, Facebook, is combating Koobface worm, which is, a malware (malicious software) to prevent it from infecting its users PC. 5. Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical issue identified in question 3. Koobface worm is a malware that could infect Facebook's users' computer, which is a security issue. It is estimated that the group earned more than $2 million from June 2009 to June 2010 by delivering the victims of its worm to unscrupulous marketers and makers of fake antivirus software. 6. Discuss at least one problem that relates to the impacts of the social/ethical issue. A Koobface attack starts with an invitation to watch a video and a message about updating the computer's Flash software. Clicking to get the update begins the download of Koobface, which gives criminals control of the computer, while the worm tries to spread itself further through the victim's social network contacts. This is a security breach to Facebook's users computer. When the criminals have control of the computer, they can do anything they want with it like, stealing personal information, etc. 7. Evaluate one solution that addresses the problem identified. Facebook need to step up their security for their users safety. To halt Koobface, Facebook uses algorithms that can detect suspicious posts and hijacked accounts, looking for unusual behavior like log-ins from odd places and a surge in messages sent. Facebook also keeps a blacklist of malicious Web links to prevent them from being shared on the site. When Koobface posts find a

Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Privacy and anonymity 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. URL- A URL is an address that shows where a particular page can be found on the World Wide Web. URL is an abbreviation for `Uniform Resource Locator'. Meaning, it is an address to access to web. DNS- DNS stands for Domain name system. It is a network service that is converting or interpreting domain or host name to IP address. In this case, it is easy to convert domain to IP address so, hackers could easily access to the webs. NBT- It stands for NetBIOS over TCP and IP. It is kind of rule for communicating that exists to run NetBIOS application in TCP and IP. NetBIOS application is an application or program interface that has been used in PC-LAN. TCP stands for transmission control protocol. It is a core protocol of the Internet Protocol Suite. SQL injection- It is a basic skill to hack information. Its ways to do is too easy so, most web sites are blocked for this. Hackers put special elements such as ' or ] between ID and password to call server to DB. They changed SQL sequence. Suppose, SELECT count(user_id) from USER_TB where user_id='test' and pw='1234' (Example) That sequence allows to login, and people can login if the result is over than 1. So, we put ' 'or 1=1 ' the space between ID and password and change it through injection attack. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Since the seven web sites are hacked behind the scenes, security has to be reinforced than before. Also, they need to update the web site to check any 'debris' from attack.

    1. Identify the scenario. Business 2. Describe a social/ethical concern and the relationship of one primary stakeholder to the IT system in the article. Security is a social/ethical concern because it regards the security of the Database Servers that are used to store the Domain Names and IP addresses. With insufficient security, the database security can be breached by outsiders and be altered. The primary stakeholder is Group NBT, and is the domain name management firm of NetNames and Ascio whose DNS Databases were compromised in this attack. Their SQL commands were infiltrated by the hackers, so that the information stored on their DNS Database was altered, that made website visitors be re-directed to spam websites. 3. Describe the IT concepts and processes. Domain Name System (DNS) - The address book for the website that links the URL of websites to IP address numbers that computers use to visit a website. IP Address - The numbers that are separated by period dots that make up a website's numerical address of its location. (DNS) Database - A database is a massive spreadsheet with numerous data types and forms used to store large amounts of data (in this case, websites' domain names URL and their respective IP addresses.) SQL Injection - SQL stands for Structured Query Language, used for database manipulation. This is a hacking method by using the various layers present in SQL commands, by 'injecting' a hidden command that enables to create a loop hole for access and change the database information. This includes changing strings of commands in the original SQL command into malicious commands, that are executed when the altered SQL command is executed. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161953.aspx
  •  
    4. Explain the relationship between the IT system referred to in the article and the concern presented above. The security of the DNS Databases run by NetNames and Ascio (two subsidiaries of domain name management firm Group NBT) is a concern. Their SQL commands were being altered and compromised, which resulted in the altered domain names and IP address links. Their relationship is that the concern is the IT system's (in this case the Database's) security. The IT system, Group NBT's Database, has a concern over it's security. The DNS Database system has a security concern because the hackers were able to alter the paths of redirecting certain websites to scam websites instead through a SQL Injection attack that manipulates the SQL command used to manipulate the domain name database. 5. Describe and evaluate the impact of a social/ethical issue on the stakeholders The social/ethical issue is security. The stakeholders are Vodafone, the Daily Telegraph, UPS, and four other websites, Turkish hackers (Turkguvenligi), and internet users who visited those seven websites within the hacking duration. This has an impact on their security issue because their database has already been compromised once, and unless they create a new system of security to prevent SQL injections, they will never be able to know when someone is changing their SQL command strings. They need to have someone constantly monitoring their SQL to see if there are any changes. The security issue impacts Group NBT because it makes their customers that use their services doubt the secure service because hackers were able to alter the redirection of customers to scam websites instead of their respective website. Therefore security, to a large extent, has an impact on Group NBT. 6. Explain and evaluate one solution to the issue identified. A solution to the issue identified by NBT was to further review their Database system to ensure customers of a more secure service, since it is impossible for a

The problem here is that all of the 10 most popular applications on Facebook were transmitting unique user ID numbers to outside companies which violates Facebook's policy: data received from Facebook, including UIDs, cannot be shared with data brokers and ad networks. 7. Evaluate one solution that addresses the problem identified. Facebook user should have a choice on whether or not to allow applications to get their UID. Facebook should also tighten their policy and make it harder for Ad networks to share UID with third party applications.
