This assignment is based on the analysis of the different types of the breaches which have been conducted over the last few years. The main context of the assignment is to evaluate and understand the causes of the occurrence of the breach of data, the impact of the breach of data and the level of step which have been taken for managing and controlling the breach of the data. It has been seen that over the last few years there are different cases have been founded regarding the breach of the data. One of the important things regarding the data breach is that there are certain larger companies for example Yahoo had suffered some sort of the data breach. This assignment particularly discussed the Hack at the UCLA Health data.

It had been seen that the data which was hacked by the hacker was exposed and base don information about more than 4.5 million people. This data breach was announced on Friday, the attackers obtained parts of the computer that contained individual and restorative data and information of the people. One of the most important things regarding the data breach was that it was not clear that whether the data and the information of the people have been collected and breached by the attackers (Morgenroth, 2017).
Stephen Newman, general manager of Dambala, an Atlanta-based security firm, said it seemed unlikely. "Despite the fact that the University of California says there is no assurance that individual and restorative statements have been taken, the reality of the situation will undoubtedly be clear," he said. "When legal investigators opened up access to a system, they have many approaches to expelling

At that time, the social the health network did not believe that the attackers had the ability to access parts of a computer framework that contained individual data. So the main cause of the consideration of the attack on the information and data system of the UCLA was to get and collect eth invention about the huge level of the information maintained by the management of the UCLA in the UCLA management and information system. However, a later study shows that the attackers can access those parts of their system earlier than planned in September 2014.
According to the management of the UCLA Health, because it cannot "decisively" reverse the possibility that programmers can understand the data; the people who have been eliminated are informed to the affected parts of the system. People affected by years of wholesale fraud, recycling and reconstruction, as well as additional medical services, will be offered personal insurance. Those with social security numbers or Medicare distinguish the test numbers they thought would get a year of credit

Issa utilizes statistics to suggest ideas. He says, “The Office of Personnel Management’s security breach resulted in the theft of 22 million Americans’ information, including fingerprints, Social Security numbers, addresses, employment history, and financial records” (Issa). Issa also adds that, “The Internal Revenue Service’s hack left as many as 334,000 taxpayers accounts compromised‑though just this week, the IRS revised that number to o...
Well written procedures, rules, and regulation provide the cornerstone for effectively implementing policies within the criminal justice system. During the investigational process, evidence collected is subjected to policies such as Search and Seizure, yet, scrutinized by the Exclusionary Rule prior to the judicial proceeding. Concurrent with criminal justice theories, evidence collected must be constitutionally protected, obtained in a legal and authorized nature, and without violations of Due Process. Although crime and criminal activities occur, applicability of policies is to ensure accountability for deviant behaviors and to correct potentially escalation within social communities It is essential the government address such deviant behavior, however, equally important is the protection of the accused which also must become a priority when investigating criminal cases.
During the 1980’s, medical-related situations continuously occurred that made patients question their insurance policies as well as the privacy of their health care. Congress worked to create a bill containing strict rules regarding insurance policies and availability for one to keep their insurance if they are to move jobs. These rules were soon applied to all medical facilities and faculty and titled the “Health Insuran...
The Social Security Act was enacted in 1935, and since then it has undergone numerous revisions and amendments. Today the act covers a wide range of benefit programs, including Medicare, unemployment compensation, and Supplemental Security Income. The major portion for which the Social Security Act has become known, however, is the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program, or OASDI. While today the OASDI program is most frequently referred to as “Social Security,” it is only a thread in what has been called the “social safety net.” Therefore, throughout this paper, it should be understood that Social Security will be the term used to refer to all its encompassed programs as a group, as a matter of convenience.

Medicare provides healthcare coverage for individuals over the age of 65, in addition, to others meeting certain criteria. The government funds Medicare through the administration of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid and spends billions annually, on the program. Fraud runs rampantly throughout the healthcare program due to the enormous amount of money spent and the large number of people enrolled in the program. Fighting fraud of this nature necessitates diligence by everyone. Protecting oneself entails understanding what constitutes fraud, identifying it, noting suspicious practices, and taking steps towards prevention.
Lynn said that “ over the past few years, all manner of data has been stolen, some of it mundane, some of it concerning our most sensitive systems, including aircraft avionics, surveillance technologies, satellite communications, and network security protocols.” He also acknowledged that the Defense Department lost 24,000 files in cyber attacks by foreign intruders in March 2011.... ... middle of paper ... ...
The two major components of Medicare, the Hospital Insurance Program (Part A of Medicare) and the supplementary Medical Insurance program (Part B) may be exhausted by the year 2025, another sad fact of the Medicare situation at hand (“Medicare’s Future”). The burden brought about by the unfair dealings of HMO’s is having an adverse affect on the Medicare system. With the incredibly large burden brought about by the large amount of patients that Medicare is handed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to fund the system in the way that is necessary for it to function effectively. Most elderly people over the age of 65 are eligible for Medicare, but for a quite disturbing reason they are not able to reap the benefits of the taxes they have paid. Medicare is a national health plan covering 40 mi...
In this case, a large health services organization (HSO) in Florida, that has a world-renowned AIDS treatment center had information breach of 4,000 HIV+ patient records, and the list was sent to newspapers, magazines, and the internet. Consequently, this issue was featured in every media vehicle in the world and as CEO, you are requested by the board of trustees to come up a better management information system (MIS) to resolve all information security issues or you will face termination. After hiring an undercover computer security consultant to help determine where the security leak came from, she quickly identifies numerous breaches in computer security and provides a report with the issues identified. The report furnished by the consultant revealed that facility had major problems with the MIS and the staff. In order to determine how to address the issues, the CEO must first answer the following questions: what law is being violated by the employees, why was this law enacted, what are the penalties for such violations, what are the penalties for sharing celebrity information, and should he be updating his resume and looking for another job (Buchbinder, 378).

The use of hacking to identify weaknesses in computer security has become an increasingly controversial issue in recent years. Awareness of this issue is important, because our ever increasing reliance on technology means that breaches in computer security have the potential to have wide-ranging and devastating consequences to society, worldwide. This essay will begin by clearly defining the term ‘hacking’ and will examine the type of people who hack and for what reasons. There will then follow a discussion of the moral argument on hacking before examining a few brief examples. The essay will then conclude by arguing against the use of hacking as a means of identifying weaknesses in computer security.

The computer is considered one of the most important technological advances of the twentieth century. Security and privacy issues have been in existence long before the computer became a vital component of organizations' operations. Nevertheless, the operating features of a computer make it a double-edged sword. Computer technologies with reliable error detection and recording capabilities, permit the invasion of a supposedly secure environment to occur on a grand scale and go undetected. Furthermore, computer and communications technology permit the invasion of a persons' privacy and likewise go undetected. Two forces threaten privacy: one, the growth of information technology with its enhanced capacity for surveillance, communication, computation, storage and retrieval and two, the more insidious threat, the increased value of information in decision making. Information has become more vital in the competitive environment, thus, decision makers covet it even if it viol!
