QUESTION: What is life like for people in your local community?
HARD!!!!! WORK ALOT.
ACTIVITY: READ THE FOLLOWING SCENARIOS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
An 18-year-old high school senior enters the
school building after school hours. He uses
passwords stolen from teachers to hack into the
school network, changing his grades and changing
the grades of some of his friends as well. He
installs malware, or malicious code, that allows him
to re-enter the network from any computer outside
school. Instead of attending his high school
graduation, he sits consulting with his lawyer,
charged with crimes that, added up, could possibly
result in a 38-year prison sentence.
What’s the Problem? What actions did the
young man take that were wrong, broke school
rules, and may have been illegal? Who was
affected by these actions? What if you were a
student at that school—how might his actions
affect you?
A 19-year-old hacker creates malware
that spreads itself through instant
messages. The messages, which look
like they are from a buddy, invite the
victim to look at a photo on a social
networking profile. In reality, the link
leads to a phony Web site that installs
the malicious code on the victim’s
computer. As a result, all the information
stored on the computer, including credit
card numbers, can be viewed and
copied by the hacker.
What’s the Problem? What could be
the consequences for the victims of this
young hacker’s actions? THEY SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SHOULD BE TAKING HOME SCHOOL OR SOMETHING.
