Hello everyone,
The typical characteristics of a ransomware attack is an encryption of personal information and or documents while demanding a ransom be paid in order to decrypt the files. The ransom payment is often paid in the form of cryptocurrency in order to make sure the attackers stays anonymous.
You can identify a ransom attack by the loss of use of your files. You become locked out because the attacker has encrypted your files.
Tools that can be used to detect, trace and eliminate this kind of threat include the tripwire configuration manager. This tool can give you the ability to monitor several different platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure-based assets and Googling Cloud Platform from one single console.
Another tool is the honeypot. It can be used to detect attempts of unauthorized use of your system. According to us.Norton.com, a honeypot is a system that mimics likely targets of cyber attacks. It does this in order to gain information about how the cyber criminal would operate.

Lastly, an operating system command is a security vulnerability in which a command is injected into a program by an attacker which compromises the application.

The threat can be eliminated by making sure your files are backed up and stored safely. You should have an adequate cybersecurity team to monitor for sign of an attack. If this does not work , you may end up paying the ransom. But that is no guarantee that the threat will be eliminated.

Hey class,
When you think about Ransomware, you want to consider how long it has been around. Since 1989, it has been magnified in scope and complexity. If you think about what it is, it is malware that prevents users from accessing their system it personal files. There are two types of campaigns for ransomware which are human-operated and auto-spreading. Some types of human-operated attacks would be gaining initial access, credential theft, lateral movement, and persistence. Attackers can gain access after they deploy a plethora of tools to get your credentials.
Some examples of a campaign attack would be RobbinHood ransomware, NetWalker, PonyFinal, Maze, and REvil. RobbinHood was introduced in 2019 when it infected Baltimore and Greenville city networks. The purpose is to take advantage of a vulnerable driver installed on a user’s machine. NetWalker was on the rise since the pandemic, in which its main targets were hospitals and healthcare providers. NetWalker would launch Mimikatz and steal credentials then use them to launch PsExec.
PonyFinal would be considered the tail end of human-operated ransomware campaigns. Attackers deploy bruted force attacks against systems management servers to gain initial access. Maze has been around for some time and was one of the first ransomware used to sell stolen data. Finally, REvil was one of the first ransomware to take advantage of the Pulse VPN vulnerabilities to steal credentials used to access networks.

OVERVIEW

This assignment is an essay that brings all of the knowledge and skills developed in this course to bear on a single ethical issue. You will write an 1800–2000-word essay (not including footnotes, the title page, table of contents, and bibliography) that combines the insights and arguments of the second and third discussions into a single carefully-articulated work. Format should be 12pt, Times New Roman font and in Turabian format.

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin your paper with a brief introductory paragraph that clearly states your goals, thesis, and method. State what metaethical theory you are defending, the issue in applied ethics you are addressing, the conclusion(s) you want to defend.

Next, provide a lengthy and detailed defense of the metaethical theory you defended in the second Discussion. This will likely reflect what you argued for in your second Discussion thread and the feedback that you received from the professor and/or classmates who responded to your thread. Here you can go into much more detail than you could in the discussion, which was limited to 600 words. If you have changed your mind since Discussion 2 and wish to defend a different theory, you may do so. This section of the Capstone would be roughly half of your paper (three to four pages).

Next, proceed to the applied ethics issue that you discussed in your third Discussion thread. Here you should greatly expand upon your argument. Add detail, nuance, and argumentation, providing a fairly complete and comprehensive application based on the theory you defend in the first half of the paper. You may illustrate the application with real-life examples, but please do not fill your paper with anecdotes. You should anticipate possible objections to your approach to the issue and respond to them in an objective and informed manner. (For ideas on how others might object to your approach, a good place to begin would be your classmate’s reply to your third Discussion thread, but you need not stop there. Many books and articles have been published on issues in applied ethics, and these can provide a wealth of possible arguments relevant to every issue.) You are encouraged to use quotes from sources as a way to support your arguments, but quotes should not make up more than one and a half pages of your essay.

Your conclusion should reflect what you have argued in your thesis. It should recap what you have accomplished and how you have accomplished it.

This paper is not required to utilize any sources outside of those that were used in the class (the two textbooks, the videos, and the PointCast presentations), but use of additional resources is permitted and encouraged. At the minimum the paper should utilize the resources from the class. All resources used must be listed in the bibliography and any resources quoted, paraphrased, or alluded to must be documented via footnotes formatted according to Turabian. Sources such as Wikipedia and online dictionaries do not count as academic sources and should not be used. Biblical references are encouraged, but will not count as an academic source.

Remember, your footnotes and bibliography (if you had one) do not count toward the 2000 word limit. You will be penalized if you exceed the limit, so please do not.

Your paper must begin with a title page that includes a paper title, your name, the date, and the course name and number. The second page of your paper must be a table of contents. The last page of your paper must be devoted to your bibliography. The paper must utilize 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with one inch margins. It must be double-spaced rather than triple-spaced between paragraphs and there should be only one space after the end of each sentence.

Any documentation in the body of your paper must be done via footnotes formatted according to Turabian. If you are not familiar with how to do this, simply look it up online. There are many websites that explain Turabian formatting. Footnotes should be single-spaced 10 point Times New Roman font.

Your paper must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. If you submit it as a .pdf or anything other than a Microsoft Word document it will not be graded.
Proofread your work before handing it in! Errors of spelling, grammar, syntax, and punctuation will affect your grade. This is a university-level writing assignment. Please write accordingly.

Submit your finished paper via the submission link. Turnitin is a program that checks your work for plagiarism. Plagiarism is immoral, unchristian, and will not be tolerated. If you are not sure what plagiarism is, it is your responsibility to find out. Ignorance is no excuse. Do not plagiarize!

an introduction (with the research question and/or thesis)
strong topic sentences
supporting detail from sources, such as articles from online databases, or reputable online sources–Singer must be one of your sources. You must have at least 6 sources total. That means you have to find 5 others using the Library Databases.
conclusion
a Works Cited page (Links to an external site.)* detailing the works you actually cited (quoted or paraphrased) in your essay. Your Works Cited page does not count as one of your 4-5 pages.
Prompt

Advisories
Don’t use a quote for a topic sentence. Cite your sources with author and page number (if applicable) at the end of sentences where you have made use of a source, either directly (with quotation marks) or indirectly (paraphrase.) Many online resources do not have page numbers and that’s okay; only add page numbers when page numbers on printed on the source.

Don’t copy material from the internet word for word and plug it into your essay without citing it and or putting exact words in quotes. We consider that plagiarism, which is against the rules in college. If I find that you purchased or copied your essay that you purchased online, I will give you a zero on the assignment. If you have trouble rephrasing quotes, use quilbot.com (Links to an external site.) to help you get started with paraphrasing quotes.

Remember that in an argument-driven essay, your opinions become your assertions/arguments, even without the word “I.” Avoid using the “I” voice in this essay; this will force your essay to sound more professional.

Use APA 7th edition style including 12pt font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, page numbers. Each assignment will have 6-8 in-text citations using at least three different academic sources. At least three (3) citations must be from the assigned course textbook.
Be sure to structure your paper as follows: a title page (1 page), reference page (1 page) and 5 pages of quality analysis and reflection = 7 page paper.
2. Using the text, Crucial Accountability, you will be making some key discoveries about areas that you both succeed and struggle with in keeping yourself and others accountable.
Follow these steps:
Step 1: READ THE TEXT & TAKE THE ASSESSMENT:
After reading the textbook, take the SelfAssessment Survey (Appendix A, pp. 247-251) and review your results. The survey is divided in the seven chapters of the book that cover the crucial accountability skills (five questions each). You will need to read each chapter in order to understand your results and the process of holding healthy accountability conversations. You will be handing in your completed SelfAssessment Survey worksheet in a separate Moodle dropbox for the professor to review before you complete your paper AND you will be attaching the same document to this paper as Appendix A: Self-Assessment Survey
Step 2: ANALYZE & EVALUATE:
Choose TWO (2) of the SEVEN (7) areas where you scored the most “YES” answers and observe, analyze and reflect on those specific areas. Consider answering the following:
o Summarize the key points the authors make in the textbook in these two specific chapters. Share examples and citations to support your statements.
o What does this score mean to you about your ability to hold yourself or others accountable? Discuss.
o Does it accurately reflect some areas of weakness in your accountability? Discuss and explain your answer with examples from your life.
o Consider how your MVS shows up in the area of accountability. Include any insights you may have about SDI results and your Crucial Accountability Survey results.
o For each of these 2 accountability areas you wrote about, make 2 recommendations how you can improve your accountability to yourself and others as you navigate bad behavior and broken promises in your work/home/school/ life relationships. For example, if you are evaluating, “Describing the Gap”, what two recommendations can you make for yourself in this specific area to improve your ability to describe the gap when holding an accountability conversation. Do this for both of the sections you are analyzing.
Step 3: RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on what you have learned from the textbook, online lectures and activities answer this question: Why do you think accountability is an important leadership skill – personally and organizationally? Provide support, citations and an example or two to support your thinking from all course material to date and other outside sources as applicable.
CITATIONS & REFERENCES:
Each assignment will have 6-8 in-text citations using at least three (3) different academic sources:
•a minimum of 3 from the original textbook,
• a minimum of 3 from other course material or approved academic resources.
• Non-academic sources may be used to support your work, however blogs, social media outlets, Wikipedia, Buzzfeed, Dictionaries, etc. are NOT acceptable sources for these 6-8 references (so you can use other quotes, blogs, etc. but they do not count towards this requirement)
