The Federal Trade Commission disclosed a law suit against unknown credit card fraudsters. Over 15 companies were being run by "money mules," people who transfer stolen goods or money from one country to another. The money mules were recruited via a spam e-mail message.

A hacker broke into the primary Web server of a major e-commerce Web site and planted a logic bomb that would cause a Web server to power down.

At the end of the discussion, write a summary of the solution you chose for each scenario and justify your choices.
