Question 1:

Using terms and concepts from Chapter 12, Managing Security and Privacy, how would you categorize this attack on the Security Threats chart in Figure 12-1 in the chapter? Note: When you name the category, use the terms at the top (source) and side (problem) to make it clear which one you are choosing, e.g. "Human Error" + "Unauthorized data disclosure." Then, explain why this is the most appropriate combination of source + problem categories.  Your answer should be about 2-3 sentences.

Question 2:

The article about Twitter hacking ends by noting the possibility of Twitter employees or hackers being able to read private DMs (Direct Messages) of Twitter users. In Chapter 11, we learned about the concept of information systems controls. If management fails to create sufficient controls it could lead to criminal prosecution and/or contingent liability in some circumstances. Do you think this situation at Twitter could make its executives subject to criminal prosecution, contingent liability, or both? Explain your reasoning. Your answer should be about 2-3 sentences.
