I. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Identify one cybercrime that you are familiar with and provide new solution or
technology that will mitigate the problem it causes.
Phishing scams
Solutions:
Keep all systems current with the latest security patches and updates.
Encrypt all sensitive company information.
Require encryption for employees that are telecommuting.
II. ASSIGNMENT
Search for newly committed cybercrimes in the society today and explain its method
or mechanism.
Social Network Fraud
It is also a crime to create fake profiles or to send fake messages to other users
on social media. If a user of social media creates a fake profile to impersonate
another person, without the other person’s consent, that action could be
criminal. But a crime has only truly been committed if the fake user has the
purpose of causing harm, committing fraud, or intimidating or threatening
someone with the fake profile or fake messages. It remains to be seen if
merely “catfishing” someone rises to the level of a crime under this statute.
