...Project 1 Case Analysis CCJS321 The two cases I have chosen to analyze for Project One is the Max Ray Butler aka “Iceman” cybercrime case and the Albert Gonzalez cybercrime case. I have chosen these two cases because they both had significant impact on the computer forensics field. Both of these cybercrimes are similar in nature because both deal in credit card and identity theft on the grandest scale. Max Ray Butler and Albert Gonzalez were brought to justice after many years of a cyber-forensic investigation that went through a network of multiple U.S. agencies; including the FBI, US Secret Service and US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team) a Department of Homeland Security who were all networked together at the National Computer Forensic Training Academy in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Both of these men were given the longest prison sentences ever handed out by a judge for computer crimes of their notoriety and magnitude. Finally, they both set a blue print for digital forensic investigators of the proper procedures to follow in order to capture future want-to-be crime lords. Max Butler aka “Iceman” was a white-hat hacker that went rogue. His story is that, “he was a good hacker hired by the government to test the security of one of their websites, while doing that job he installed a backdoor to their system that would allow him to come in later so he could make some fixes to the system on his own time. Well of course this second part of the...

The Government Defense Department worked diligently on this break through in order to link some of the United States most prominent research universities with a couple of purposes in mind: That is, developing experience in interconnecting computers and to expand productivity via resource sharing (Bosworth, 2014). These independent large-scale computer systems only had four nodes which included the big time universities like UCLA, Utah, University of California, and Stanford. At the time there was no thought of any concerns for security issues as the mainframe computer rooms...

...the main body of the project. It is designed as Chapter one. It is devoted primarily to justifying the research work. Accordingly, the following headings are discussed: Background of the Study, Statement of the study, Objectives of the study, Research Questions, Significance of the study, Scope and Limitation(s), Definition of terms and the Organization of the study or Chapters 1.1 Background of the Study The Rural Banking concept was introduced in the mid-1970s. The motives were to mobilize savings from the rural areas and in turn make institutional credit available to the Rural Economy. The need for improved financial intermediation in the rural economy became paramount because of the non-availability of formal institutions and the fact that most rural dwellers are engaged in agriculture. Agriculture is the mainstay of the Ghanaian economy and until recently the largest contributor to GDP. (Yahiya, research Dept. of BOG, 2013) Despite the potential resources existing in the rural areas, farmers and small entrepreneurs lack the required institutional credit to play the expected meaningful role in the Economy. The peasant farmer had to rely on informal operators such as Mobile Bankers locally known as Susu Collectors, and self-help groups and money lenders for his credit needs. These creditors charge exorbitant interest rates which, in most cases, aggravates the poverty state of the borrowers. The bank of Ghana, in a bid to take care of the credit and other financial needs...

...Shriram City Union Finance Limited (SCUFL) Secured NCD Issue August 11, 2011 Shriram City Union Finance Limited, one of the largest small enterprise finance companies in India, has come up with its public issue of Secured Non Convertible Debentures (NCDs) aggregating upto Rs. 375 crore with an option to retain over-subscription upto Rs. 375 crore for issuance of additional NCDs aggregating to a total of upto Rs. 750 crore. The Issue is open from August 11, 2011 to August 27, 2011 (The Company has the option of closing the issue on an earlier date, once it receives the amount it has targeted). The company will be paying an interest ranging between 11.50% and 12.10% p.a. on these bonds. Given the current scenario of rising interest rates in Indian debt markets where rates are expected to be close to their peak levels, the issue provides an opportunity to lock in attractive returns for a period of 3-5 years. This issue offers better interest rates compared to other alternatives though with slightly lower credit rating. Further, given its unique business model, decent financial history, reasonable credit rating and safety (Secured NCDs are 100% secured by assets of the company), investors comfortable with primary market offerings can participate in this issue (low to medium risk, medium - long term investment). If convinced, the investor needs to apply at the earliest as allotment is to be made on first come first serve basis. Investors can also look at NCDs of companies already...

A recent piece in the Harvard Business Review (May 2003), shockingly labeled “IT Doesn’t Matter,” has garnered the magazine more buzz than at any time since Jack Welch affair. The article has been approvingly cited in The New York Times, analyzed in Wall Street reports, and e-mailed around the world. But without such a dramatic and reckless title, I doubt the article would have been much noticed. It’s a sloppy mix of ersatz history, conventional wisdom, moderate insight, and unsupportable assertions. And it is dangerously wrong. Author Nicholas Carr’s main point is that information technology is nothing more than the infrastructure of modern business, similar to railroads, electricity, or the internal combustion engineering advances that have become too commonplace for any company to wangle a strategic advantage from them. Once-innovative applications of information technology have...

...banking and related services. The two main mechanisms for the delivery of financial services to such clients are: (1) relationship-based banking for individual entrepreneurs and small businesses; and (2) group-based models, where several entrepreneurs come together to apply for loans and other services as a group. In some regions, for example Southern Africa , microfinance is used to describe the supply of financial services to low-income employees, which is closer to the retail finance model prevalent in mainstream banking. Community-based savings bank in Cambodia. There are a rich variety of financial institutions which serve micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses. For some, microfinance is a movement whose object is "a world in which as many poor and near-poor households as possible have permanent access to an appropriate range of high quality financial services, including not just credit but also savings, insurance, and fund transfers."[1] Many of those who promote microfinance generally believe that such access will help poor people out of poverty, including participants in the Microcredit Summit Campaign. For others, microfinance is a way to promote economic development, employment and growth through the support of micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses. Microfinance is a broad category of services, which includes microcredit. Microcredit is provision of credit services to poor clients. Microcredit is one of the aspects of microfinance and the two are often confused....
