We started talking about it yesterday, and I decided one of the first themes we are going to focus on in terms of social impact is going to be Internet and Internet Security. So let's start with a real discussion about the types of risks that exist today.
[There are 3 parts to this warm up btw!]
First Breaking news: researchers just discovered a virus that could potentially even more dangerous than usual.
Start your warm up by reading that short article, and tell me in 2-3 sentences about that new virus called Chameleon, tell me what is special and what it can do.Then, let's start breaking down some of the different types. Use THIS Lifehacker.com article to help your understanding. As you read, I would like you to write a blurb about each type of malware. Tell me the difference between: virus', spyware, scareware, trojans, and worms. Remember, I am asking you to figure out the difference between each type.
Lastly: this inofographic is pretty freaking cool. You might want to zoom in a little [right click the image and select View in New Tab], but lets finish by talking about some of the famous ones in history.
Don't get sick!!!!
