...Cybercrime Ross Anderson 1 Chris Barton 2 Rainer B¨hme 3 o Richard Clayton 4 Michel J.G. van Eeten 5 Michael Levi 6 Tyler Moore 7 Stefan Savage 8 Abstract In this paper we present what we believe to be the first systematic study of the costs of cybercrime. It was prepared in response to a request from the UK Ministry of Defence following scepticism that previous studies had hyped the problem. For each of the main categories of cybercrime we set out what is and is not known of the direct costs, indirect costs and defence costs – both to the UK and to the world as a whole. We distinguish carefully between traditional crimes that are now ‘cyber’ because they are conducted online (such as tax and welfare fraud); transitional crimes whose modus operandi has changed substantially as a result of the move online (such as credit card fraud); new crimes that owe their existence to the Internet; and what we might call platform crimes such as the provision of botnets which facilitate other crimes rather than being used to extract money from victims directly. As far as direct costs are concerned, we find that traditional offences such as tax and welfare fraud cost the typical citizen in the low hundreds of pounds/Euros/dollars a year; transitional frauds cost a few pounds/Euros/dollars; while the new computer crimes cost in the tens of pence/cents. However, the indirect costs and defence costs are much higher for transitional and new crimes. For the former they may be roughly comparable to...

...Ethic and Corporate Responsibility 2 Nehemiah Leary Legal 500 Professor Morris In our society, we as consumers are continuously being bombarded by advertising ads on T.V and billboards and highways to promote the latest product. a user isn’t always looking at the product or reading the safety warning on the item; they are only looking at who and what athlete and movie star promotes this latest product. For example, Gatorade always uses high profile athletes or famous people to promote its product. These ads provide a sublime message. These Ads are gear to get the consumer to buy their product. In order for me to be like MJ, I have to drink Gatorade. There has been a shift over the last couple of years in product safety. According to Chandra, “product safety has become a major problem for businessmen, consumers and the government” (Chandran, 1979). Advertising can be both influential and persuasive. It presents an issue of product safety. The Consumer Product Safety Commission threatened to ask Congress to give it greater authority. Advertising is protected under the First Amendment, but there has to be limits. “While advertising does not directly contribute to all product related accidents, it does, inadvertently, have the power to promote unsafe behavior” (Chandran, 1979). Advertising indirectly contributes to the problem of consumer product safety. “Advertisers and advertising agencies should therefore do more to educate consumers in a safe and prudent use of products...

...JBT Task 1 A1. Gaining market share is widely based on a company’s strategy and approach. When a company expands to the internet, it is important for them to have a purpose. For Pharmacy ABC (name changed to protect my customer), located in Columbus, Ohio, going online would be beneficial for several reasons. Advertising would help them focus not only on their current customers, but more so for the younger generations that have adapted to search and learn through technology. As their current customers get older and expire, these younger generations will become their customer base. By having a website, they will also be able to provide more education to their patients. The site may also provide answers and act as yet another form of customer service. Pharmacy ABC will be able to provide convenience for their patients by adding online refill availability which will save both time and money. While expanding total market size, they must continuously and actively defend its current business (Kotler and Keller, 2010). A2. When comparing competitor’s websites (CVS and Walgreens), both companies offer similar information to what Pharmacy ABC website should have, including: • Online Prescription Refill o Both competitors offer similar options • Product Promotion/Sales o Both Walgreens and CVS offer a weekly sales and promotions ticker • Medicare D Reporting o Walgreens does this well by allowing the customer to enter medications and see available plans that cover those...
