Assignment: Internet and Networks
1)Topic: Internet backbone

2)The article I found agrees with the threat of internet crimes and further explains in detail about harmful
actions on the internet. This article informs the readers that the threat of cybercriminals attacking internet
backbones is becoming more effective as time goes on. The article also displays how internet service
providers are countering these attacks by methods similar to "filtering." Compared to the Mindtap articles,
this article explains much more about internet criminal activity.

3)Topic: RFID(Radio Frequency identification)

Article: http://www.wbir.com/story/money/personalfinance/2014/08/28/credit-card-theft-
blockers/14724395/

4)The article agrees to the fact there are concerns towards wireless security when it comes to credit card
information. Since in our modern society, people are constantly stealing credit card information through
demagnetizing and scanners. This article shows that there is development in the war against fraud. They
have developed a product that blocks scanners from stealing information from nearby cards. Compared to
the mindtap material, theres more information towards wireless security than the others.
