    2 Nature, Prevalence and Economic Impact of Cyber Crime Introduction 2.1 This chapter addresses the nature, prevalence and economic impact of cyber crime. 2.2 The problem of cyber crime crosses many traditional technical, conceptual and institutional boundaries, and, due to its prevalence, has real and increasing social and economic impacts on all Australians. The chapter concludes that because of the inter-related nature of the different aspects of cyber crime, a more holistic and strategic approach must be taken to its prevention. Nature of cyber crime 2.3 This section demonstrates that cyber crime is highly complex, self- reinforcing, technologically advanced, geographically widespread and indiscriminate by examining the history, tools, industrial nature, perpetrators and victims of cyber crime. 10 HACKERS, FRAUDSTERS AND BOTNETS: TACKLING THE PROBLEM OF CYBER CRIME Cyber crime and the Internet 2.4 Mr Peter Watson, Microsoft Pty Ltd, told the Committee that the Internet, by its very design, is an inherently vulnerable network which has enabled cyber crime to flourish in a new virtual ‘Wild West’ environment.1 2.5 The Internet originated from a relatively basic network set up to share information between trusted people and organisations for military and academic purposes, with no view to the security of the computers attached to these networks, nor the information stored on these computers.2 2.6 Today, this open and insecure system has evolved into a world wide network, directly connecting in excess of one billion users, and is employed

    Address Munging: the practice of disguising, or munging, an e-mail address to prevent it being automatically collected and used as a target for people and organizations that send unsolicited bulk e-mail address. Adware: or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. Some types of adware are also spyware and can be classified as privacy-invasive software. Adware is software designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system. Some adware is designed to be malicious and will pop up ads with such speed and frequency that they seem to be taking over everything, slowing down your system and tying up all of your system resources. When adware is coupled with spyware, it can be a frustrating ride, to say the least. Backdoor: in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected. The backdoor may take the form of an installed program (e.g., Back Orifice), or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. A back door is a point of entry that circumvents normal security and can be used by a cracker to access a network or computer system. Usually back doors are created by system developers as shortcuts to speed access through security during the development stage and then are overlooked and never properly removed during final implementation.

  • The Fashion Industry As a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention
    THE FASHION INDUSTRY AS A SLIPPERY DISCURSIVE SITE: TRACING THE LINES OF FLIGHT BETWEEN PROBLEM AND INTERVENTION Nadia K. Dawisha A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Patricia Parker Sarah Dempsey Steve May Michael Palm Neringa Klumbyte © 2016 Nadia K. Dawisha ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nadia K. Dawisha: The Fashion Industry as a Slippery Discursive Site: Tracing the Lines of Flight Between Problem and Intervention (Under the direction of Dr. Patricia Parker) At the intersection of the glamorous façade of designer runway shows, such as those in Paris, Milan and New York, and the cheap prices at the local Walmart and Target, is the complicated, somewhat insidious “business” of the fashion industry. It is complicated because it both exploits and empowers, sometimes through the very same practices; it is insidious because its most exploitative practices are often hidden, reproduced, and sustained through a consumer culture in which we are all in some ways complicit. Since fashion’s inception, people and institutions have employed a myriad of discursive strategies to ignore and even justify their complicity in exploitative labor, environmental degradation, and neo-colonial practices. This dissertation identifies and analyzes five predicaments of fashion while locating the multiple interventions that engage various discursive spaces in the fashion industry. Ultimately, the analysis of discursive strategies by creatives, workers, organizers, and bloggers reveals the existence of agile interventions that are as nuanced as the problem, and that can engage with disciplinary power in all these complicated places.

  • “Sucker List” and the Evolution of American Business Fraud
    Edward J. Balleisen The “Sucker List” and the Evolution of American Business Fraud in the early 1950s, mickey mantle burst onto the american sporting scene as a power-hitting outfielder for the New York Yankees. After a bumpy first year in the majors in 1951, this young man from rural Oklahoma soon became a star, attracting close attention from fans, the press, and promoters of all kinds. As a 1957 article in the Saturday Evening Post recounted, Mantle proved especially willing to listen to the pitchmen who promised to multiply his new sources of income. Within a mere week of arriving in New York City, he had signed a contract with a predatory agent who generously promised to secure all manner of endorsement and business deals, modestly reserving a full 50 percent of Mantle’s earnings. Over the next few years, the Yankee phenom periodically took flyers on a series of ill-advised investments, includ- ing $3500 ($1000 paid in cash, the rest through a promissory note) for shares in a fake Oklahoma insurance company, hawked by a notorious sharper “who had served three prison terms and had an ‘FBI file an inch thick.’” Mantle’s remarkable lack of financial acumen meant that he “led the sucker list.” And yet, the Saturday Evening Post profile also noted that Mantle learned from his mistakes rather quickly. By 1957, he had employed a reputable agent who identified excellent endorse- ment opportunities, which dramatically increased his income (Povich 1957, 19–20). This vignette incorporates several key features of the broader history of deception and misrepresentation in American marketplaces.
