Plagiarism Notice

You are reminded that there exist regulations concerning plagiarism.

Extracts from University Regulations on Cheating, Plagiarism and Collusion

Section 2.3: “The following broad types of offense can be identified and are provided as indicative examples:

i.Cheating: including copying coursework.

ii.Falsifying data in experimental results.

iii.Impersonation, where a substitute takes an examination or test on behalf of the candidate. Both candidate and substitute may be guilty of an offense under these Regulations. iv.Bribery or attempted bribery of a person thought to have some influence on the candidate’s assessment.

v.Collusion to present joint work as the work solely of one individual.

vi.Plagiarism, where the work or ideas of another are presented as the candidate’s own. vii.Other conduct calculated to secure an advantage on assessment.

viii. Assisting in any of the above.

Some notes on what this means for students:

● Copying another student’s work is an offense, whether from a copy on paper or from a computer file, and in whatever form the intellectual property being copied takes, including text, mathematical notation and computer programs.

● Taking extracts from published sources without attribution is an offense. To quote ideas, sometimes using extracts, is generally to be encouraged. Quoting ideas is achieved by stating an author’s argument and attributing it, perhaps by quoting, immediately in the text, his or her name and year of publication, e.g. ” e = mc2 (Einstein 1905)”.

● A reference section at the end of your work should then list all such references in alphabetical order of authors’ surnames. (There are variations on this referencing system which your tutors may prefer you to use.)

● If you wish to quote a paragraph or so from published work then indent the quotation on both left and right margins, using an italic font where practicable, and introduce the quotation with an attribution.

Individual Coursework — 2024 (Weighting 100% of the module)

Write a minimum 3000 words report, in your own words, on the following case scenario. You can exceed up to 3500 but not more than that.

Scenario

A significant data breach at Capital One, a well-known financial services provider, in 2019 affected more than 100 million US consumers and 6 million Canadian customers. Due to a misconfigured web application firewall in Capital One’s cloud architecture, confidential client data was accessed without authorization by Paige Thompson, a former software engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Social Security numbers, bank account information, and other personal data were among the compromised data. The breach was not detected for several months after it happened, until July 2019. After the event, Capital One was hit with harsh legal repercussions, which included paying a $190 million settlement to compensate impacted customers and a $80 million fine.

The use of cloud technology, while offering scalability and efficiency, also introduced new vulnerabilities that were exploited in this breach. This incident raises critical questions about the role of technology in data security and the responsibilities of those who manage it.
