You have received an official e-mail from the Bank of Devry, and you open it to see what they have to say because you truly do have an account with the bank. The bank informs you that you need to log-in to your account and update your personal information. The bank further tells you that by not complying to this urgent update within 72 hours would result in you losing your account.

You are concerned because you have been with the bank for many years and you trust them and do not want to lose your account. Conveniently located at the bottom of the e-mail was a link directly to the bank. You click on it, being brought to the Bank of Devry site. The page asks you to complete all of the information asked for: Name, Address, Social Security Number, Account Number, Online ID, Passcode, Last Eight Numbers of ATM/Debit Card, ATM/Debit Card PIN, Routing Number, and E-mail Address.

You eagerly comply, answering all of the questions asked, then click enter, sit back, and rest assured that you have properly updated your account.

In a 1–2 page analysis, answer the following questions and be sure that any outside sources are properly cited and referenced:

1. Do you think that this is a legitimate e-mail? Why or why not?
2. What action should you take if you receive an e-mail similar to this?
3. If a fraud scheme has occurred here, what type of fraud has occurred? What clues exist in an e-mail like this that should concern you?
4. What steps should you take if you know that this is a fraudulent e-mail?

History of Viruses Back to Top

1984—Dr. Fred Cohen produced several academic papers that defined the computer virus. A computer virus is “a program that can ‘infect’ other programs by modifying them. Including a possibly evolved version of itself.”

1995—Macro viruses were spread via Word and Excel files. E-mail viruses also experienced exponential growth and began to include payloads that allow attackers to install rootkits on infected PCs. The I Love You virus, in 2000, introduced a new virus-spreading technique: when the e-mail carrying the virus was opened, the payload executed. Capitalizing on social engineering, an e-mail with an enticing title from a known sender had a high success rate due to so many recipients opening it.

2002—Adware and spyware emerged. By bundling or fooling the user into downloading the program, the program would inundate the user with pop-up advertisements and send their browsing habits to marketing companies. Some conspiracy theories claim that AV technology was not stopping its spread, so that AV vendors could create and sell “new” anti-spyware products.

2004—Viruses became the domain of organized cyber-criminals. They herded together botnets to carry out DOS attacks, distribute spam, and propagate viruses. In 2005, viruses were created to target specific organizations and commit data theft or fraud. In 2007, the Storm Worm became the first targeted polymorphic virus, designed to assemble networks of zombie PCs.

Spyware can install itself on systems using a range of different techniques, including

• direct installation onto a system (for example, by a hacker);
• through a pop-up window or advertisement;
• via spam e-mail, e-mail attachment, or instant messaging;
• by users swapping music, photos, or other files;
• drive-by download; and
• packaged with other software.

Drive-by download is a method whereby spyware can install itself on a system when a user visits a website. This can be carried out by exploiting a technology called Browser Helper Object (BHO). BHOs are small programs that provide added functionality to a user’s Internet browser. For example, BHOs may add toolbars, such as the Google Toolbar, to a user’s Internet Explorer browser.

Problems occur when this technology carries out functions that can damage or disrupt a user’s system. For example, BHOs can hijack a user’s browser and redirect the user to websites where more malicious forms of spyware can be more easily installed.

Spyware may be distributed through software distribution channels. For example, when users download games, applications, or utility programs for their workstations, spyware can piggyback on the software. When the user installs the software, the spyware program is automatically installed without the user’s knowledge.

Although not actually spyware, even MySpace has provisions regarding customer data and cookies in its user agreement: View it at http://www.myspace-code.org/privacy.htm

The material that should be to answer these questions should come from the Books: Cura, John. 2011.The Relativity of Deviance 2nd Edition. Pine Forest Press.
AND Goode, Erich and D. Angus Vail. 2008. Extreme Deviance. Los Angeles: Pine Forest Press
Outside information is ok as long as it is cited but preferably most of answers should come from the readings in the two books listed.

This is the final paper for class and should be typed in 12 point Times New Roman font.
Double spaced. Name will be placed in the header with the page number.
When typing this paper be sure to use the following format for every question:
Section______: Type the question you are answering
Then answer the question.
A reference page and internal citations is expected. If you use videos as support for an answer be sure to note that as well.

SECTION ONE: You must answer all of the questions in this section. You can do this in an outline or essay form. Please address all the parts of the question and answer as fully as you can. If you use resources please note the resources with internal citations.
1.) Discuss the relationship between Social Power and Deviance.
2.) Discuss why it is helpful to view deviant behavior in terms of roles.
3.) Discuss social norms. Some people have argued that social norms were designed to ensure society’s survival and to protect its members from harm. Is this true? Is this why some forms of behavior have been condemned?
4.) Describe the normative, statistical, absolutist, and reactivist conception or definitions of deviance. Provide an example of each.

SECTION TWO: Choose three of these questions and answer them in essay format. Each answer should be one to two pages. Please address all the parts of the question and answer as fully as you can. If you use resources please note the resources with internal citations.
1.) Jim is a member of a swingers group. He and his wife go to swinger parties where they have sex with different sex partners. Discuss how Jim and his wife might utilize all of the different techniques for managing stigma.
2.) Is suicide universally condemned? If so, why? If not, provide examples of the lack of universal consensus in different places over time. (It may be helpful to use Durkheim’s views when addressing this question).
3.) Tattoo Collectors and modern primitives share some practices and differ in others. If you were explaining the world of “extreme tattooing” to someone who knows nothing about it, how would you explain the differences between two different segments of what seems like an unified world? Your answer should include a discussion of labeling the self and identity work.
4.) People who claim to have been visited by E.T’s are often labeled as mentally unbalance, but when “normal” people recount odd dreams to one another, very few would consider these dreamers mentally ill. What is the sociological difference between an “abductee” and a “normal” person? Your answer should include a discussion of Primary and Secondary deviance as well as “master status”.
5.) How do the popular, “insider” and sociological views of S&M differ? Discuss the implications of these differences. (Using Goffman’s concept of Framing may help answering this question)

SECTION THREE: This is the final question. You should use this question to display your knowledge about the sociology of deviant behavior. Its expected to be 2-3 pages to fully address the question. If you use resources please not the resources with internal citations.
1.) Choose one of the topics from the chapters of the books we used for the class. Using one of the Theories of Deviance describe your chosen topic and how it is situated in the Sociology of Deviance. You can use images and icons from popular media to help bolster your discussion.

Fizzit.com Case Study

Fizzit.com is an online company that sets is vision as “To Be the UK’s Easiest Online trader of Books, CDs and DVDs”. It has a number of sub-goals to help achieve this vision. Fizzit’s aim is to create a strong value proposition for its customers by ensuring that its customers don’t have to do much at all to trade their unwanted products. Fizzit wants to ensure customers get a reasonable price for the products. Fizzit wants to make sure it can also trade on (read: sell) whatever it buys at a reasonable price also; covering its operational costs is vital but also making a small profit.

Fizzit simply asks its customers to enter the barcode/ISBN of a product (CD, DVD, Book, Game) into its website. The Fizzit product should be able to access that product record, return to the customer a price it is willing to pay for the product or whether it does not want the product. This Fizzit calls the ‘one input price return’ goal. Once the Customer has either 10 products entered or a total trade value of over £10, then a trade can proceed. The products are simply delivered to Fizzit who then pay the customer.

Making a small profit

The management of Fizzit plan to take any products traded and on-sell them via a different company (a partner company but an entirely independent legal entity). The World Of Online (TWOO) is an online catalogue product akin to Amazon.co.uk but only dealing in second-hand i.e. used products. TWOO trades in 30 countries and its biggest customer base outside of the UK is both Australia and China. What sells quickly (within 48 hours of going live in the TWOO catalogue) is fed back to the Fizzit database so that it can either update prices or inform customers what it will or will not now trade. Fizzit wants to create a product supply chain for TWOO and it does this by stocking its warehouse on a weekly basis with products it collects from couriers and drop off locations. The hope is TWOO will provide a return value to Fizzit through rapid feedback on what sells and what mark-up Fizzit may be able to make.

Detailed Customer Process on Fizzit

Fizzit works like this: a customer logs in or registers to create an account if a new customer. Immediately the customer is presented with an input box prompting the customer to enter a barcode/ISBN of a product to sell. When a price is returned, the customer moves the item to a ‘trade account’ (or ‘save for later’) and executes the trade. The customer can either take the product (assuming 10 items or a trade value of £10 has been reached) to a delivery drop-off box (there are 10,000 in the UK housed mostly in newsagents / convenience stores) or if it is a very large item (over 25kg and with a trade value of over £25) a courier service will be despatched to pick it up from the customer’s address.

Products are collected and centrally stored in a warehouse in southern England once a week. Here they are checked for quality within 24 hours of arrival. Assuming good quality, the customer’s PayPal account or bank account is credited with the amount of the trade within a further 24 hour period. The customer is informed via an email from Fizzit of the successful trade. There is a no returns policy once the trade is complete. If upon inspection in the warehouse some or all goods are in such disrepair that they cannot be sold easily – in the opinion of Fizzit – then no payment is made to the customer for these specific products; the unsellable products are placed in the nearest drop-off box to the customer’s postal address and an email sent with information about the product rejection and how to pick up the goods. If the product is large the goods are returned via courier. The customer is not charged for the return but is given notice that if goods are found to be not good enough twice more in a calendar year then they will be barred from selling via the site for a calendar year.
