Answer ( 1 )
My name is _____. I am doing capstone project on topic “Computer Crimes : How Governments are hacking data too”.
My topic is related to Information and technology. The topic itself defines that the present age has observed a new era of hacking done by the Government agencies of different countries. The efforts will therefore be made to check for the relevance of this topic. That is if this claim is correct and in reality the Government agencies are hiring cyber hackers for hacking sites of other countries. The research will be made on collecting data and other information that are relevant to the topic. The research will concentrate on methods deployed by the hackers backed by the Government agencies in stealing away information and other data inputs from other country database. Attempts will also be made to identify the countries which are actively participating in this process. Also the countries on which these cyber hacking attempts are made will be identified. In addition the research will try to figure out the amount of money that is at stake due to cyber hacking.
The research project will continue for 10 weeks and each week the blogging will be done to update the readers about the updates related to the project. The project will consist of introduction, literature review, research methodology, analysis, recommendations and conclusion. This way the whole process of reporting of the study through this research will pass through various headings and subheading so that the readers can be made aware of different aspects of research.
The research will also try to concentrate on various aspects that are affected by the application of cyber hacking followed by present day Government agencies. The main intention behind this kind of involvement will be researched and reported through this report.
