For my research paper, I will be cover the situation of the Zeus virus which was a Trojan horse virus that infected window computers. This virus was used to steal login credentials which then allow them to use money mules to smuggle money overseas. More than 1,000,000 users were affecting by this and large company like Amazon, Oracle, Bank of America, and Cisco were victims. I found this to be interesting because of the way they were able to create value from being
The topic I chose to do my analysis on concerning organizational issues related to Internet technologies and network security is a new and emerging threat to companies called ransomware. On 23 January, 2017, the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jan/23/ransomware-attack-paralyses-st-louis-libraries-as-hackers-demand-bitcoins?CMP=twt_books_b-gdnbooks) published an article that over 700 computers in St Louis had been infected with ransomware, and that the city was deciding how to deal with this threat.
In the article, Virus killing Ontario lambs has troubling echoes of Zika, written by Jennifer Yang for The Star, we learn that there is an outbreak of Cache-Valley virus in Canada. The Cache-Valley virus has existed in Canada for a long period of time but new evidence shows that the virus could evolve into something similar to the Zika virus and effect humans too.
Trojan’s are one threat it is a type of malware designed to provide unauthorized, remote access to a user’s computer. Trojan horses do not have the ability to replicate themselves like viruses; however, they can lead to viruses being installed on a machine since they allow the computer to be controlled by the Trojan creator.

Viruses, Plagues, and History, written by Michael Oldstone, is an insightful and highly educational book that details the history of, that’s right, viruses and plagues. Through typically dry, yet engaging prose, Oldstone recounts what seems like all of it while simultaneously bringing to light the contributions of those brave scientists who asked themselves, “why.” He focuses his attention on some of the most notable viruses such as smallpox, yellow fever, measles, polio, and later he focuses on more contemporary battles against disease.
I recently read an article written in The NEWYORKER called The Deadliest Virus by Michael Specter. The article talked about the Avian Flu virus, also known as “bird flu”. In the article, Specter interviewed many people, but the most important person, in my opinion, is a virologist who conducted research on the Avian Flu, Ron Fouchier. This article raised many ethical questions. The questions are as followed: Should research be conducted on this virus? Does Fouchier’s research pose a threat? Does the risk of the work outweigh the benefits of the research?
What we have found is that some bacterial, fungal and animal viruses can be beneficial to the survival and reproduction of the host. One of the examples is a virus in a plant can help with regulating the thermal tolerance; this is called mutual fungal endophyte. Another example is some virus and wasp strains can have a mutualistic relationship. Polydnaviruses of the parasitoid braconid wasp is required for the wasp to suppress the natural defense response so it can survive inside their caterpillar host. As you can see in a world where only bad viruses get talked about on the news we can see without viruses the world as we know it might not be
Yes. I believe the author is so trying to portray that this new disease now called “Zica” is starting to become a problem along with the already worries of ISIS. Like we already don’t have enough to worry about, now here comes this new issue. To me, the fact that they already have a name for this if this was supposedly to be a “New” virus, tells me this is probably just another propaganda tactic used to deflect citizen’s attention off the real problem and let them come on in with a sneak attack. Crazy.
In New York there are an ordinary family who without asking becomes the subject of a pandemic devastating Mitch, Beth, Jory Mitch's teenage daughter and Clark Beth's son . Beth as she is returning home from a business trip to Hong Kong, where without knowing was infected by the MEV-1 virus. She transmits the virus to people who were close to her (including an ex-lover she meets during an halt in Chicago). Once home, her health declines suddenly. Four days after she contracts the virus, Beth has seizures, froths at the mouth, and dies. Before she dies she infecting her young son Clark, who spreads the virus at his elementary school. During Beth's autopsy (just six days after she was infected) a pathologist observes highly suspicious
With the click of a pen teenagers commit their future four years into the hands of universities, in return they receive free education and the possibility of competing in their favorite sport. N.C.A.A. fulfills the dreams of many young adults giving them a chance to prosper and obtain something more in their life. These students get to travel and see places they have never dreamed of, and the only cost is to play the sport they love. Yet for some reason many people believe colleges are robbing the lucky, talented students. They assert that on top of a full ride scholarship athlete should also receive a paycheck. However, student-athletes should not receive wages as they already are granted privileged opportunities for playing a sport in college.
The foremost aspect of chivalry that should be understood is what this code of conduct actually implied for the nobles of the Medieval Ages. When it comes to the concept of chivalry developed during the time of the Crusades in the middle Ages, it began as a code of conduct for the knights. For them, their actions were not solely occasional, but rather a way of life. The key ideals behind chivalry were not intelligible acts that could be performed. Yet, they were about attitudes and virtues that should be owned. The standard of chivalry, nonetheless, had considerably deeper roots. An author of Bloody Constraint, Theodor Meron said, “War and Chivalry in Shakespeare, states that the practitioners of chivalry, the knights, were expected to be cultivated
An invisible organism enters your body. It penetrates into your tissues and then takes over the machinery in your own cells to make more copies of itself. This tiny infiltrator works silently, producing thousands of these clones that fill up the cell and cause it to explode. The clones mercilessly continue the process of invading, taking over and destroying cells. The result might be a minor inconvenience to you as the host, or it could result in a slow or rapid death. It depends only on which variant of this unwanted infiltrator overcomes your body’s defenses. There are cures to wipe out some types of these invisible intruders, but others are so difficult to eradicate or so readily adaptable, that the world’s greatest scientists

Hanta virus is a dangerous and often deadly disease that must be guarded against. If proper precautions are not taken, hanta virus could lead to a nationwide outbreak causing many deaths. While there are a few cases of hanta virus reported each year, the consequences of coming down with the disease dictates that the U.S. set up certain safeguards to educate the population on how to protect themselves. Even though research is being done on hanta virus and its related illnesses, there persist many unanswered questions.
Just like a biological virus, a computer virus is able to infect and ruin lives. This malicious software constitutes more than just simple viruses but also includes other types of software including worms, Trojan horses, and ransomware. Malware has been around since the late 1980’s. Originally, people became hackers to gain notoriety online, but today, it has become more of a business. Cyber attacks originate from all around the world, and it is not just individual people that benefit from it. In two decades, numerous cyber crime syndicates have been created, and states all over the world sponsor hacker groups. Over the past twenty-five years, malware has become less about checking the integrity of computer security and gaining notoriety in the underground cyber society, and it has become more of a chaos creating, money making business that many people and institutions take part in.
