Computer Security Law

Although copyright does apply to computer software and related IP, the law consistently fails to keep up with technology. As a result, we rely on ethics to fill in the gray areas: this action may not be explicitly prohibited in the law, but it seems like it would hurt someone else, so I won't do it.

The 8 principles of data protection are as follows:

1. Processed fairly and lawfully.

2. Obtained for specified and lawful purposes.

3. Adequate, relevant and not excessive.

4. Accurate and up to date.

5. Not kept any longer than necessary.

6. Processed in accordance with the "data subject's" (the individuals) rights.

7. Securely kept.

8. Not transferred to any other country without adequate protection.

There are no mistakes list to determine which are mistakes. To make sure no mistakes are committed consult a professional.

The Data Protection Act 1998 governs the handling of personal data in the UK, including health-related information such as medication records. It mandates that any data collected about an individual's medication must be processed fairly, stored securely, and used only for legitimate purposes. Patients have the right to access their medication records and request corrections if the data is inaccurate. Compliance with this Act is crucial for healthcare providers to ensure patient confidentiality and data integrity.

The essential (basic or foundation) protections to protect information systems must consist of a three tier approach: Technical, Physical and Administrative. Within these tiers are the core building blocks of managing a dynamically changing security posture. Before moving on, seriously consider, no protection can be more consistently effective without situational awareness, due diligence, and enforcement. Broken down succinctly you must ensure certain hardware and software are installed, implemented well and the latest security patches is kept updated: Network Router/Switch, Operating System (OS), Firewall, Anti-Virus, Spyware Protection and any security updates available for your other software. Remember these are basic protections. In addition, a great back up plan: External drives and/or High Capacity storage Media (the former is usually faster), and a real time backup application for both the data as well as the system itself. It will allow for recovery of not only your important data but you can also fully restore your information system in a shortened amount of time (as opposed to reloading the OS and each application). Finally, you need encryption; two types: 1. Data-at- Rest (stored on hard drives and/or other media) and 2. Data-in-Transit (Sending your data from one location to another and keeping it from prying and spying eyes). All of the above is the beginning of your "defense in depth" information systems protection program.

Technical security controls are devices, processes, protocols, and other measures used to protect the information system; examples include but not limited to; encryption, anti virus, firewalls, Spyware Protection, etc.

Physical security controls are physical ways and means you prevent access to the information systems; locked doors, fences, alarms, cameras etc.

Administrative controls are essentially the polices and procedures put in place to ensure your information system doesn't become vulnerable by following some basic rules and acceptable use policy (not to mention what information you authorize to give out and who can access your information system).

The best you could hope for is to sue under any available slander laws and have a court issue an order for the deleting/removal of the blog. If they award sufficient damages it may be enough motivation for the blog author to not repeat the slander. Note that you have to meet the legal requirements to prove slander before you can win such a case. Occasionally you may be lucky enough that the web service hosting the blog will take it down for you if you contact them and complain, but that's the exception.

Most spammers utilize very illegal means to broadcast their messages. They usually use bot networks - groups of machines they have compromised and turned into "zombies" - to launch their massive email barrages. There are several reasons for doing this:

1) since spamming is illegal in many areas, they try to insulate themselves from being identified as the source of the spam

2) Even where spamming is not explicitly illegal, the crap they are hawking often is - either outright or because it is fraudulent. Consequently, it is valuable to them to make it hard to identify the source of the spam.

3) By using someone else's computer to send the spam, they insulate themselves from retribution from those they are spamming

4) They don't have to actually buy the hardware, they can just steal it (or at least the use of it) by hacking it and installing their software on it without the owner's permission. "Owning" a machine in this way is just a slang term meaning that they have control of it - they certainly don't own it from a legal standpoint.

The details of how they compromise other people's machines and set up bot networks will not be presented on this website - which has a policy of not aiding and abetting criminal activities.

This answer is per DIACAP (Defense Information Assurance Certifications and Accreditation Program - DODI 8510), as the defacto standard in the field of information assurance; historically the process was over a three year period. However, after due diligence and oversight, it was discovered that many IA Managers and supporting IT personnel were essentially waiting until the last 6 to 12 months (of the 3 year cycle) before full IA reviews were conducted. Currently, in the IT/IA community, the IA posture is considered a dynamically changing process;as changes in the enterprise occur the IA Posture is updated, reviewed and documented, providing a living and current IA life cycle. This process ensures effective management in preventing and/or mitigating the day to day risks and threats of an IT environment as they can occur and immediately record/document the change.

It depends what you mean by surveillance. Anyone can mount security cameras on their property - provided it's not deliberately aimed into another person's home. You can record amy image from your own security cameras (but you cannot 'broadcast' images of people without their consent). You cannot use covert equipment in someone else's home without them being aware the equipment is installed. Some examples...

A... You fix a camera to your house, pointing down your drive, to monitor your car - Perfectly legal.

B... Your camera 'happens' to have a clear view of the bedroom in the house opposite - Illegal (invasion of privacy).

C... You 'hide' a camera inside a teddy bear - because you suspect your babysitter is abusig your child. Legal - so long as you don't post the footage on the 'net.

DAA (Decimal Adjust for Addition) is used following a normal ADD, when it is known that the input data represented BCD (Binary Coded Decimal). It compensates for the half byte carry that might occur because the BCD format is not the same as the binary format.

Computer Law - is a set of recent legal enactments, currently in existence in several countries. while Computer Ethics more on covers for the actions that is done with the computer, whether it is ethically good or unethical.

== == If you do not own the copyright to the music/song and do not have the express permission of the legal copyright holder, then yes, it is illegal. Especially if you plan to share the file. Of course, this does not apply to material in the public domain. Or your own works (your work is somewhat protected whether you have filed with the US Copyright Office. I say "somewhat," because by officially filing you have a better chance of protecting yourself and your intellectual property, because you then have legal proof of possession.) Same applies to logos used without express consent -- unless it is your own creation. Logos are protected by trademarks rather than copyright. You could be setting yourself up for serious legal trouble if you wrongly use Intellectual Property owned by someone else. Does the word "theft" ring a bell? As a songwriter and artist myself, I have the right to protect my creative property and I will. Artists work harder than many people realize and it is unfair, immoral and just plain wrong to deny the copyright/trademark owner the credit or income they are due. Now... Even if you are using public-domain material or your own works, some web-space providers do not allow MP3 or other multimedia files on websites on their servers. Check your TOS.
