3.2.3 Case Study: Signed Applets
1) What prompts normal people to take this action and exposing themselves to the malware risk?
Many times people cannot pass up the opportunity to obtain something free on the internet. In addition to that, if it’s free or looks interesting (for example the case study stated that the “Big Ad” was constructed to appear, “very big, looked very expensive and impressive.”) people will share the information.
2) What current websites have clones (name both)? You will need to Google/misspell about and find out.
I am not sure what the second website is, but I was redirected when I typed in www.faecbook.net. I also found www.twitter.net, but I don’t believe it is the second site that you are speaking of.

7) Pirating movies is a big issue today…would viruses on these pirating websites stop you from using these sites? Why?
I would stop using pirating websites because the viruses could cause so much damage to my PC. There isn’t anything on the internet that is worth creating that kind of compromise. It can be difficult to discern which sites to trust as we saw in the examples from the case study.
8) What tools would you use to determine if PC had these types of crimeware issues?
In addition to antivirus software, I would need to create filters to monitor for malware.
9) As a detective, what steps you take to help Carlton Draught regain control over the problem?
I would see if I could obtain a court order to shut down the malicious site and see what if any protocols could be put in place to regain the integrity of our legitimate site.
10) As a detective, how would investigate the crimes posed against internet users?
I would need to determine what the biggest threat to the internet user is and work my way from there. I need to find out what their vulnerabilities and how to combat those
