Specifically, sensitive credit card processing facilities are hacked and numbers are released to the Internet, causing 120 million cards to be canceled; automated teller machines (ATMs) fail nearly simultaneously across the nation; major companies report payroll checks are not being received by workers; and several large pension and mutual fund companies have computer malfunctions so severe that they are unable to operate for more than a week. Identify the countermeasures that need to be implemented to prevent these cyber attacks from occurring in the future.Start a discussion thread and discuss what type(s) of countermeasures need to be implemented to prevent the cyber attack described above from occurring in the future. Be specific in recommending countermeasures for this scenario.You must do this following:1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, discuss what type(s) of countermeasures need to be implemented to prevent the cyber attack described above from occurring in the future. Be specific in recommending countermeasures for this scenario.

Are you concerned by the ethical behavior presented in the case? Describe the dilemma and explain what you would do. Justify your response.

First, read the case Calculating & Disclosing Bond Yields: Ethics and Mechanics.
Be sure to read the Notes at the bottom of the case, including:
“The term “estimated yield” is essentially synonymous to the term “current yield.” Textbooks define current yield as the bond’s coupon payment divided by the current market value of the bond. Brokerage statements report what they term estimated yield, which is the client’s projected annual income from a series of bonds (i.e. aggregate coupon income) divided by the aggregate market value of those bonds.The EMMA website and search function can be accessed here http://emma.msrb.org/.”
 Additional readings (not required, but recommended by the case study’s author)
Second, answer the questions. In your initial response to the topic you have to answer all questions:

Examine the brokerage statement contained in the case. How would the stated “estimated yield” compare to the yield to maturity for an investor who purchased the bonds on the statement date at current market prices?
Are you concerned by the ethical behavior presented in the case? Describe the dilemma and explain what you would do. Justify your response.
Reflection – the students also should include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words, using finance terminology, reflecting on specifically what they learned from the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in the workplace or in everyday life.

Please also note that your answers should be written in your own words. Don’t use quotes from the case.

Write a thorough analysis of the key issues related to the IT strategies applied in e-commerce in the case.

Week 6 assignment 1: explore data mining with baseball statistics

This project is designed to help you begin thinking about the power of data mining, and how organization might benefit from discovering information that’s contained in their “Big Data” – that is, large quantities of information in various places and in various forms.

Download the latest database file of comprehensive baseball statistics from the website SeanLahman.com http://www.seanlahman.com/baseball-archive/statistics/). You may choose which version to download, depending upon your software proficiency and familiarity. There is a Microsoft Access compatible data set, and a comma-separated-value (CSV) file set that can be opened easily in Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheet software. The Access version has all the data in one large file, while the CSV/Excel version is a long series of individual files contained in a .zip file for downloading.
Review the structure of the tables included in the database.
Devise three different data-mining experiments you would like to try to find answers to questions that a baseball fan, a coach, a team owner, or an investor might have, and explain which fields in which tables would have to be analyzed.
Write a summary describing the questions you would like to answer, and what approach to answering those questions with these data might be effective and why.

Length: 2-3 pages not including title page and references
Your analysis should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
