CheckPoint: Cyber Security
· Resource: Ch. 12 in Computing Fundamentals
· Due Date: Day 4 [Individual forum]
· Read the following scenario:
James was traveling for his job. The internet card provided by his
company was not
working and he had an important project due that day. James was in a
small town about
an hour away from the nearest internet kiosk, so he decided to drive
around a nearby
suburb to see if he could find a wireless system he could “borrow” to
send out his project.
James found a wireless system without a security key and, after
parking near the home
with the system, uploaded the project. Afterward, just for fun, James
peaked into the
computer on the wireless system and found, to his dismay, some bank
accounts and
passwords.
