For this assignment, you need to find two articles about Cyber-Crime, Cyber-Terrorism, and/or the DarkNet. You will get extra points if YOUR articles are unique (no one else in the class has the same article).
We have discussed ethics, security, the Internet, technology in business, decisions, laws surrounding technology, etc. In this week's class, we are covering the Social Impact of Systems, computers, and technology. Along with everything in the world (both real and imagined), there are things that are wonderful and magical. But, with everything that seems wonderful and magical, there can be (and usually is) a dark side. In this assignment, I want you to consider the dark side of the wonderful world of Systems, computers, and technology.

2. Should companies be legally liable if they do not protect the data they collect that belongs to their customers, employees, or others?
3. What should individuals know to protect themselves? Should they be worried about protecting their personal data?

10. Do you think the U.S. has hurt relationships with other countries/allies by covertly collecting data on other political leaders, etc.? Is this any different than the traditional spying that has occurred for hundreds of years?
