Hacking: Annotated Bibliography: NFL

They initially did not take up the case, hence leaving other organizations like CIA and NSA vulnerable to the intruder. Without FBI’s approval, the narrator explains how his efforts turned fruitless. The phone companies helped Mr. Stoll trace the call each time the intruder logged in. But they could not take any action towards finding the culprit without the help of FBI. These events explain the need for policy and regulation in the field of Internet crimes.

On the political cartoon “ little perspective” by Michael Kemirez illustrates an American soldier’s coffin on the sideline of a football field next to an NFL athlete kneeling with a jersey labeled misguided.The commotion that the nfl has gotten in the past few weeks has negatively affected the company. Is it ok for an NFL athlete to protest during a game? No, because it's ineffective, causes diversity, and has brought sales for the NFL down.

To play in the NFL takes a extremely extraordinary endowment, one mixed with speed, strength, flexibility, and aptitude. There are less than 1% of all players playing football in college that goes to the NFL. The fraternity of the NFL is a very small group of individuals. Also what plague the NFL are players getting into trouble with the law for a host of reasons. Happenstances with the law can range from domestic violence to simply failure to appear in court. With the NFL earning over 7 billion dollars last year this is an concern that must be addressed. The NFL has millions of loyal fans that attend, watch, or live stream their games every Sunday during the football season. This year the super bowl viewers were well over 100 million. With the average 30 second commercial going for 5 million a spot the franchise has a lot to lose if it’s image is not portrayed responsibly. The objective of this paper is to develop an IMC plan for the NFL.

This is particularly demanding on game day, when it all must operate smoothly for a fast-paced, time-sensitive, live event that at best is unpredictable and is sometimes played in bad weather. Making it all work requires attention to detail and the technical knowledge to troubleshoot on the fly. Game Operations staff must check every system before a game, identify and prevent radio frequency conflicts, and address technological problems, even as the action continues. A tremendous amount of coordination is required, not only internally, but also with teams, broadcasters, stadium staff and emergency services. Beyond making these technologies work seamlessly, the NFL faces a delicate balance of determining how to innovate while respecting and preserving the game’s traditions, integrity and competitive equity. That is their challenge, now and in the future.

This is just the beginning of new affiliated groups that are emerging and making the world a more dangerous place. Many American as still unaware of the amount of cyberspace attacks against our most sensitive networks of information and that we are suffering in the technology department in keeping up with these attacks. Even though collecting information is vital for the security of our country we have to be careful in protecting civil liberties. The citizens need to be better informed of exactly what and how data information is used. Without the proper education to the public, the government will continue to have opposition in regards to the collection of this data. Congress also needs to be less resistant to reforms that need to be implemented. The more time that goes by between events makes citizens become complacent with regards to the urgency of preventing future

Although the National Football League (NFL) seems to provide a source of entertainment for Americans, it is slowly but surely brainwashing our population. Starting in September, a great majority of the American population gathers around TV screens and crowds into stadiums across the country to watch men ram into each other in hopes of getting a leather ball to the end of a field. This occurs every Sunday, as well as the occasional Saturday and Monday night. Fans spend hundreds of dollars on game tickets, and NFL Ticket TV subscriptions to ensure that they never miss a game. If we were to take a step back and look at it, these weekly occurrences seem to become ritualistic. What was supposed to be a source of entertainment has become a routine

Then Ludlow goes on to talk about what the Lexical Warfare is which is basically how each person translates certain words based on what they have heard or seen in media or from peers. For example there is perception that all hackers want your information but most have not heard of “Hacktivist” which hack people or take down things from the internet if they deem it morally incorrect. Later Ludlow talks about a party attended in which a lot of “Hacktivist” attended and talks about the host’s wife “knit-hacking” by knitting wool sweaters around things in town to show that all hackers uses the abilities to steal information trying to keep them unassociated with cybercriminals. Lexical warfare affects pathos because hackers feel judged and get bad reputation as “cyber criminals”, because that is what media has put into people had that all hackers want information about

The strengths of the National Football League or NFL are rooted deep in the fabric of America. There is an undeniable tribal nature to the sport of American Football. All across the country devoted fanatics cheer on their teams may they be unpaid college students or millionaire household names. Football is not just a sport in America, it is cherished, tattooed and celebrated.

The article “Defending America in Cyberspace” in the journal The National Interest authored by Keith Alexander, Emily Goldman, and Michael Warner taught me much about how the Department of Homeland Security handles America’s cyber threats. The Department of Security is the lead agency in protecting America from domestic cybersecurity incidents. It stated how America fights Cyber crime and security threats. In this day and age, countries are very vulnerable to skilled hackers. Some of them not even under the age 18.

The NFL is a money making business. With its 32 teams, and sponsorships with other big name brands, they produce a lot of money. With the NFL’s partnership with Microsoft the two agreed on a $400 million deal that secures the exclusive right for Surface tablets and other Microsoft technologies on the sidelines for all 32 teams. Another partnership the NFL has is with Direct TV. Its four-year $4 billion partnership ($1 billion per season) with DirecTV, a service that allows viewers to watch every football broadcast on several channels is also a big way in which the NFL gets money (Ejiochi). The NFL dominates the sports industry. The game has natural stop and starts, a 60 minute game lasts three hours, and this time offers plenty of empty space

The app store and social media sites are considered the way of the world, and if the NFL or any other professional athletic organizations of the same sort desire more revenue and attention, they require a unique trademark to grab the attention of younger generations. Unfortunately, going hand in hand, social media is bound to remove some revenue from physical ticket sales and the seats hold the possibility of being empty. Companies such as ESPN and Fox Sports currently have applications that merely inform the audience of every move that occurs on the field or court. With a simple download from the App Store, people around the world can learn all of the knowledge required about an athletic event at the touch of a screen. For example, on my ESPN App, I have specific teams “favorited” and every game they play, I receive alerts for kickoff, every scoring play, scores at the quarters and halftime, and penalties, along with injury reports and team news. Each sport and each team is specified to personal requirements and previously made alert settings, therefore, I receive every desired alert to my phone about the progress of my favorite

Anonymous is an international network of online hacktivists who work to spread their agenda worldwide. They accomplish this mainly through distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on the organizations websites. Their targets range from government agencies to large corporations. This group is the single most accomplished hacktivist group in the world. They have successfully directed attacks on government agencies of numerous countries, ISIS, child pornography websites, Westboro Baptist Church, PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, and Sony. The group's actions have impacted the world. With access to highly skilled hackers, Anonymous also has the ability to steal data and further disseminate their agenda.

Since the early 1950’s the NFL has been one of the most powerful businesses in America and has yet to show signs of recession. With the NFL now airing on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays, fans can enjoy watching football almost every night of the week during the fall. As the NFL’s ratings continue to climb, the league proves that it can be successful in finding new ways to grow its power and profits. There are a lot of reasons why the NFL has become so powerful, but a lot of the success is attributable to the early factors that helped the league grow into the multibillion dollar business that it is today. The NFL continues to grow its power and profits because of the creation of new stadiums, the Super Bowl, television, and most importantly the popularity of football in society.

As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers the computer hacking industry is greatly rising. With people such as Kevin Mitnick, who is known as a "computer terrorist" (Kjochaiche 1), computerized information isn't safe any more. Kevin is known as "the most high-profiled computer criminal and responsible for more havoc in the computer world today."(1) He considered this a fun and easy task. He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it. Computer hackers usually start off young, thinking that it is nothing but a little harmless fun. But as they get older, they realize it has turned into
