Topic: Banking Attacks
After reviewing the material in the Reading & Study folder for
Module/Week 5, address the following, integrating biblical
perspectives where appropriate: What lessons do we need to
learn from the onset of phishing and key logging attacks on
electronic banking, which mean that at any given time a small
(but nonzero) portion of customer accounts will be under
criminal control? Do we have to rework recovery (which in its
classic form explores how to rebuild databases from backup
tapes) into resilience, and if so how do we handle the tensions
with the classic notions of atomicity, consistency, isolation and
durability as the keys to convergence in distributed systems?
What interactions can there be between resilience mechanisms
and the various protection technologies?
You are required to provide a thread in response to the provided
topic for each forum. Each thread is to be 300 words and
demonstrate course-related knowledge. In addition to the thread,
you are required to reply to 2 other classmates’ threads. Each
reply must be 150 words.
