The next day at SLS found everyone in technical support busy restoring computer systems to their former state and installing new virus and worm control software. Amy found herself learning how to reinstall desktop computer operating systems and applications as SLS made a heroic effort to recover from the attack of the previous day. Discussion Questions 1. Do you think this event was caused by an insider or outsider? Explain your answer. 2. Other than installing virus and worm control software, what can SLS do to prepare for the next incident? 3. Do you think this attack was the result of a virus or a worm? Explain your answer. Ethical Decision Making Often an attacker crafts email attacks containing malware designed to take advantage of the curiosity or even greed of the recipients. Imagine that the message body Amy saw on the email from Davey had been "See our managers' salaries and SSNs" instead of "Funniest joke you'll see today." 1. Would it be ethical for Amy to open such a file? 2. If such an email came in, what would be the best action to take?
