Us Vs Arabo Case Study
U.S. vs. Jason Arabo

In 2004, 18 year old Jason Salah Arabo from Michigan was arrested and pleaded guilty with conspiracy to order destructive computer attacks on business competitor’s websites from his home by remotely controlling them with a computer program called, “Bot”. Bots can be easily disguised as MP3 music files or pictures that unaware users download from public websites. Once they are downloaded, Bots will cause the virus to overload the website’s hosting computer server that result in crashing the entire system. Arabo wasn’t alone in this process. He and former 16 year old “Jasmine” Signh from New Jersey, creator of the Bot, had met Arabo on an instant messenger chat, and had agreed to help takedown Arabo’s competitor websites in exchange for Arabo’s merchandise, including designer sneakers. Arabo was running two business companies that sold throwback sports apparel such as team jerseys over the internet. Together, Arabo and Signh had designed the program in what they thought would help Arabo’s business by stopping customers from visiting and using other services. …show more content…
This was causing disruption to the operations of major online retail businesses, data backup, and companies that provide communications, banks, and information services to the medical and pharmaceutical industries resulting in severe attacks of their corporate websites, internet access, data-storage, e-mail and disaster-recovery systems. The infected computers also targeted students at two college campuses in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

    Analysis Of In Cold Blood By Truman Capote

    Physical crimes never cease to draw our attention. Victims, bloodiness, drama, motives, psychological issues and conflicts: they are at the heart of most physical crimes. Cyber crimes are not viewed as dramatic and pervasive by many, but its consequences can be even bloodier within seconds: hundreds of millions of victims and billions of dollars can be rapidly caused with two elements, a criminal mind and one computer. We are not safe from either bloody crimes or cyber crimes such as cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and financial theft. In fact, “cybercrime affects everyone-business, governments, and citizens.” (2). Wealth, a safe neighborhood, or bodyguards…

    Cultural Challenges Facing Military Operations in Pan Arab States

    For this assignment the cultural manifestations I selected to discuss as being important to our Unit’s success are Wasta, Deference to authority, and Tendency to seek compromise. Of course understanding all of the cultural manifestations are important to our unit’s success, but each region within the Middle East-North African (MENA) region will have their own variations based upon which branch of Islam is dominant in the region, what that region’s experience has been with the U.S. or a Western presence in general and numerous other factors such as the prevailing socio-economic factors of the region.…

    Case Study: Israel V. Israel

    On Thursday, leaders of ultra-Orthodox political parties panned Supreme Court Justice Miriam Naor's decision to uphold a ruling that allowed Tel Aviv supermarkets to remain open on Shabbat and other Jewish days of the rest. Naor's has been slammed by the leaders of the religious right-wing parties during her time as a justice, which she vacated after this final ruling. Shas leader and Interior Minister Aryeh Deri called the decision " a coup" and Health Minister and leader of the United Torah Judaism party Yaakov Litzman declared it an "anti-religious ruling" that intended to "harm the Jewish character of the state." Meanwhile, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman praised the decision, as he believes Tel Aviv's urban and majority secular fabric should not be harmed by the will of a religious state. Zionist Union Leader Avi Gabbay also hailed Naor's ruling, saying, "we respect religion, we don't respect forcing religion."…

    IS 4560 Week 1

    Bot-infected computers - Bots allow for a wide range of functionality and most can be updated to assume increased functionality by downloading new code and features. Attackers can use bots to perform a variety of tasks, such as setting up denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against an organization’s website, distributing spam and phishing attacks, distributing spyware and adware, propagating malicious code, and harvesting confidential information that may be used in identity theft from compromised computers—all of which can lead to serious financial and legal consequences. Attackers favor bot-infected computers with a decentralized C&C model because they are difficult to disable and allow the attackers to hide in plain sight among the massive amounts of unrelated traffic occurring over the same…

    Arab Israeli Conflict and US Foreign Policy

    The Arab Israel conflict remains one of the most considerable and complex dilemmas facing the international community. The enduring quarrel between Israelis and Arabs has directly and indirectly propagated many regional wars in the past five decades, jeopardized Western entrance to important oil resources in the Middle East, provided a good reason for increased militarization throughout the region, and caused a high amount of civilian deaths as consequence of terrorism. However, Israeli-Palestinian (Arab) peace prospects are not very hopeful because the ongoing clashes frequently sabotage every peace settlement between the two nations which eventually affect regional peace. The issue holds a significant place in US foreign policy since its birth and White House had spawned serious efforts to create peace in the region. Apart from bringing peace to the region, Washington has its own reasons of involvement in Middle East such as oil resources, economic interests, terrorism but the core problem plays a major role in US participation in the affairs of the region. Every US president from Truman to Obama has advocated many peace plans which even reached towards a settlement but at the end, proved to be futile. To determine the background for understanding the current situation, it is necessary to evaluate the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and probable solutions to end the controversy.…

    The U.S Role in Arab Spring

    In December 2010, mass anti-government protests began in Tunisia and later spread across the Arab world. By February 2011, revolutions occurred in Tunisia and Egypt, Libya and Syria. The uprisings were dubbed as “Arab Spring”. Many nations in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA), that neighbor the conflict spots, have been greatly affected by the uprisings. Neighboring countries have experienced an influx of refugees, and a possibility of violence spilling over their borders. Nations that are far from the proximity of the conflicts, including the United States, have also seen an opportunity to have the dictatorial regimes within some nations replaced with democratic ones.…

    Cybercrime In Law Enforcement

    The computer world gives criminals a large amount of power because victims can just about anyone and can happen internationally (Maras, 2015). It can be hard for law enforcement to understand cybercrime because of how fast new crimes are committed and the new ways to commit those crimes is constantly changing (Maras, 2015). For example, various ways to commit cybercrime include hacking, malware, cyberterrorism, cyberextortion, and cybervandalism (Maras, 2015). It can be hard for law enforcement to keep up with these criminals because of how often technology is changing. Account holders of platforms such as social media, online bank accounts and billing accounts, email, and more have to be very cautious when using technology because of how easy…
