The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act

Source:(Google-Commit on Open Goverment page)

The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. 552a(o) et seq.) amended the Privacy Act by describing the manner in which computer matching involving Federal agencies could be performed and by adding certain protections for individuals applying for and receiving Federal benefits.

As amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act, the Privacy Act requires Federal agencies involved in computer matching programs to:

1. Negotiate written agreements with the other agency or agencies participating in the matching programs;
2. Obtain the relevant Data Integrity Boards' approval of the match agreements;
3. Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress and OMB;
4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries that their records are subject to matching; and
5. Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, terminating, or denying an individual's benefits or payments.

Though the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act certainly involves detailed procedures, including obscure 'Data Integrity Boards,' it is probably most notable for the fact that it institutionalizes sharing of data among federal government agencies. Information collected for one purpose may be used for different purposes by a different federal agency. Though integrity and fairness seem assured by the Act, privacy is not.

♣♠What is Privacy?♣♠

Privacy may be defined as the claim of individuals, groups or institutions to determine when, how and to what extent information about them is communicated to others (Westin AF, Privacy and Freedom New York: Atheneum, 1967, page 7).

Privacy is your right to control what happens with personal information about you.

In Australia there is no general right to privacy.

Some protection is afforded through the operation of certain Federal and State legislation, together with the law of contract, tort and confidential information.

☺♣Who are Computer criminals and their object?♠☺

☺Swiss researchers have shown that computer criminals can misuse the electromagnetic
signals produced by when buttons of a keyword to eavesdrop on what a user types.
Computer criminals can hear what you type on a keyboard.

☺To be sure, some computer criminals are mean and sinister types. But many more
wear business suits, have university degrees, and appear to be pillars of their
communities. Some high school or university students. Other are middle-aged business
executives. Some are mentally deranged, overtly hostile, or extremely committed
to a cause, and they attack computers as a symbol. Others are ordinary people
tempted by personal profit, revenge, challenge, advancement, or job security.
No single profile captures the characteristics of a "typical" computer criminal,
and many who fit the profile are not criminals at all.

☺☻Zero-Day Attack☻☺

♥A Zero-Day attack, is also known as hour attack,takes advantage of computer
vulnerabilities that do not currently have a solution. Typically, a software company
will discover a bug or problem with a piece of software after it has been released
and will a patch - another piece of software meant to fix the original issue.
A zero day attack will take advantage of that problem before a patch has been created.
It is named zero day because it occurs before the first day the vulnerability is known.

A zero day attack will take advantage of a bug that neither the software
creators nor users are aware of. In fact, this is precisely what malicious programmers
hope to find. By finding software vulnerability before the software's makers find them.
A programmer can create a virus or worm that exploits that vulnerability and harms
computer systems in a variety of ways.

☺☻What would I say or do'?☺☻

1.If i have a problem like in the question that it was my folt my IT security consultant was hacked,
and i was giving a 90 days to fixed the problem 1,000,000 dollars. I will talk first to my boss and to my co-worker that it was a accedentally
happen, not a traitor.Then next I will check my IT security that it was not a easy and i will sure that my security consultant is a new.
Then i will be check if there someonelse who's trator.And I will be change the IT security system and do my time brachet.

2. My friend is too genius that he can do the virus at tha all time that he's trator to the company. I will tell the administration that there will
be a virus that would come to the worldstation at exactly 3:00pm and ir will end at 4:00pm and tell them that it is only a message
and it is harmless, so that they will not peace at that time.And i can say that you can defeat me. I will do my best as a worker.
