College Students the target of Identity Thieves According to the U.S. Department of Justice, individuals 18 to 24 years old are more likely to experience identity theft that others. College-age students represent one quarter of identity theft victims. Why are college students the frequent target of identity thieves? What can a college student do to minimize his or her risk of identity theft? Search for information related to theft aimed to college-age students to find answers to these questions. Summarize your findings. Please provide the sources you consulted. Cloud Computing and Privacy risks Cloud computing has been advocated as a way to practice green computing. By using SaaS tools at a cloud provider, a business or individual has no need for high-end computing devices to act as servers or PCs. Lowerpowered hardware is a viable option that reduces an individual’s or company’s carbon footprint. Another advantage is the benefit of online collaboration reducing the need for travel by team members. However adopting SaaS does not come without security and privacy risks. Search for information on cloud computing security and privacy risks and methods to minimize risk. Write a summary that describes in your own words cloud computing security and privacy risks and strategies for minimizing risks. Do not forget to include your sources. Ethics of tagging photos

Assume that you and several classmates participated in a charity fundraiser that involved your team running a marathon. At the marathon event, a relative of one of your team-mates took several pictures of the tem running

at different points in the marathon. A few weeks later you found out that the relative uploaded the photos to his Facebook account and tagged your name in several pictures. You are upset because you never saw the photos, you were not in good running form near the end of the marathon, and you did not give your permission to have the pictures put on a social network where people you do not know will see them. Read the following questions and write a couple of paragraphs with your opinion on the ethics of tagging someone in photos that are posted to a social network: Should you always get permission first before tagging someone in a photo? Is it OK to tag people in pictures they have not seen? Is it OK to tag people who are not in your network of friends or family? How should you share photos with your friends and family where someone else in the picture is a person they do not know? How would you handle the situation described in the first paragraph of this problem?
