Computer Security Institute (Poll of 2001): • 25% (of respondents) detected system penetration from the outside. • 27% detected denial of service attacks. • 79% detected employee abuse of Internet access privileges (e.g., downloading pornography or pirated software or inappropriate use of e-mail). • 85% detected computer viruses. • 273 organizations (that were able to quantify their losses) reported the total loss of $265,589,940.

  4. … A Solution • Prevent • Defend • Help these people • If you can not win against them,join them!

  5. If Still Skeptic, Read This: The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassaible Sun Zi, VI B.C.

  6. The Internet • Internet traffic doubling every three or four months • By 2004, the Internet use will grow to over 700M users • The growth chart is of S-type

  16. Clueless Newbies • user entering the environment for the first time may be confused about even the most basic aspects of the site • the most common problem is blocking • the users of Internet speak different language -Tower of Babylon problem • Possible Interventions: • clueless newbies usually don’t require disciplinary action, but rather a little help • provide some kind of assistant or help system for your e-business

  17. How Should Behave the Personal Assistant on Your Site? Personalized Take Homes Humble Persona Personal assistant Free Association U.Positive Regard Universal Truisms Reflection

  18. Personalized (1) Make sure the program learns the client's name and addresses. A simple little thing, but very important. When spoken to by name, the client will feel more "known" and personally connected to the computerized shrink. In fact, the more information the computer recalls about the person (age, occupation, marital status, the names of significant others, presenting complaints, etc), the better.

  19. Humble Person (2) The program's persona admits its mistakes, doesn't take itself too seriously, is humble, and can even joke about its shortcomings. The program freely acknowledgesthat it is not human. . Maybe it even wishes it could be human, since humans are "wonderful creations." Everyone loves a wannabe-human machine like Star Trek's Data.

  20. Unconditional Positive Regards (3) The program always values and respects the basic human worth of the client, no matter what the client says or does. While certain behaviors or traits of the person may be unbeneficial, the person as a whole is always GOOD!

  21. Reflection (4) It should be able to read between the lines. For example, it should be able to remember everything the client has said about "my job" and reflect those statements back to the client. All the program has to do is remember, collate, and reflect back

  22. Universal Truisms (5) Having a much better memory than any human, the program can have a large database of universal "truths" about life - aphorisms, sayings, stories. The trick is having the program know WHEN to intelligently present a truism to a client.Specific patterns in what the client says must trigger the presentation of the appropriate truism.

  23. Supporting Technology • Software agents • Client side programming • JavaScript • DHTML • CSS • Java Applets • Server side programming • JSP • ASP • PHP

This is the machine from which a hacker coordinates attacks The machines (3-4) are under the attacker's direct control. host Denial-of-Services Deconstruction

  34. Card Stealing-Hacker Attack! • In January 2000, CD Universe's server was hacked by an intruder named Maxus, who tried to extort $100,000 after copying more than 300,000 customer credit card files. The hacker then posted 25,000 of the files on the Internet (a site that has since been shut down) after the company refused to pay blackmail. The case is under investigation. • In December 2000, a hacker stole 55,000 credit card numbers from Creditcards.com, a company that serves small and midsize merchants. The hacker published the information on the Internet after an unsuccessful extortion attempt. At press time, the FBI was still investigating the case.

  35. Credit Card Stealing - How They Do It? • Make Your Own Credit Card Online, anyone can download credit card account generators. • Skimming Retail and restaurant employees typically use skimmers, pocket-size battery-operated devices that cost $300 to $500, to steal customers' credit card information. • Site Cloning (or Spoofing) With this tactic, the fraudsters clone an entire site or just the pages from which you place your order. • False Merchant Sites These are usually porn sites set up solely for the purpose of capturing personal data. • Triangulation A fraudulent merchant offers an item like a video camera at a deeply discounted price.

  36. The 5 Top Ways To Protect Your E-Business • Ask for a card verification value, or CVV—the three-digit number above the signature panel on the back of a credit card. • Ask customers only for information that is crucial to complete the transaction—but always verify their billing addresses. And never store payment information in a readable form on your own servers. Once the purchase is completed, delete payment information or transfer it to an offline system. • Use transaction-risk scoring software to trace historical shopping patterns and raise red flags for unusual shopping behavior. Some good bets are systems from ClearCommerce, CrediView, CyberSource, Digital Courier Technologies, HNC Software, and Mindwave Software. • Contact organizations like the Better Business Bureau Online, TRUSTe, and WebTrust to make sure your site meets their security requirements. • Limit employee access to sensitive data and payment systems.

  37. Top 5 Ways To Protect Yourself • Make sure the site's security is bulletproof. • Use a separate credit card with a low limit exclusively for online shopping. • Clean out your wallet. • Order a copy of your credit report to check for fraudulent activity. • If you fall victim to identity theft—or even if you're just paranoid—slap a fraud alert on your file.

  38. Our Tribe Developing of the on-line community

  39. Online Groups and Communities • Groups ranging in size from a few people to thousands and millions within a "community" • Issues to think about: • leadership • communication patterns • group boundaries • cohesion • alliances • sub groupings

  44. Member profiles (3) • Barriers to Entry Are the benefits & requirements of membership communicated up front? How much info is collected when becoming a member? Can non-members get a flavor of the environment?  • Representation Can members create & edit their own profiles? Are members encouraged or reminded to update their profiles?  • History  Is there an explicit history of each member’s participation within the environment? Does the system update the profile automatically with info about the member's participation in the site?

  45. Leadership (4) • Hosting Program Is there an official hosting/mentoring program? Does it have levels? Is it based on recruiting volunteers? • UberHost Is there an experienced person to guide and manage and train new hosts? Are they empowered to resolve difficult situations?  • Hosting Manual Is there a hosting manual? Is enough flexibility built into the rules to accommodate different styles of hosting?  • Tech Support  Is it clear to members how to get technical support, and what to expect?

  46. Code of conduct (5) • Constitution Is there an explicit statement of member rights and responsibilities?   • Amendments Is there a process for evolving and mutating  this document?

  47.
