My First MidTerm Quiz

For the 5 situations given i've chosen this:

2. You have just been hired as an IT security consultant to "fix the security problem" at Acme United Global Manufacturing. The company has been hacked mercilessly over the last six months, with three of the attacks making headlines for the negative impact they have had on the firm and its customers. You have been given 90 days and budget of 1 million dollars. Where would you begin, and what steps would you take to fix the problem?

First,i would begin on the the security panel,where all the security measures are implemented.
Why it is hacked easily,are the firewalls not that tight to be easily penetrate the companies security.Second,the security personnel assigned,why did they not notice that the company is hacking for 6 long months.Checked the backgrounds,maybe it is an inside job.
And by this,maybe there will be a lead on the possible persons who hacked the company.
Next,check the mainframe computer of the company.One by one,check the hardware's of the computers,for the possible leaks on the hacking incident.With the help of the advance program,built to trace the possible origins of the hackers locations.Hopefully will end the hacking in the company.

4. Your friend just told you that he is developing a worm to attack the administrative systems at your college. The worm is "harmless" and will simply cause a message - "Let's party!" - to be displayed on all workstations on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. By 4 p. m., the virus will erase itself and destroy all evidence of its presence. What would you say or do?

For me,i will stop the attempt of destroying the administritive systems in our college.Cause if i have the knowledge to stop it,i will do it.For the sake of our college and the records who will be damaged in the attempt.All of us will suffer if it will be succesfull.
