1. Find a Cybersecurity-related current event, activity, or development in the news. In your discussion post, briefly summarize the event and reflect on its significance. You should use any legitimate news source (television, internet, periodicals, etc.) to support your topical input. Questions to address might include:

• How does the event relate to issues addressed in class?
• How might similar situations be mitigated?
• What is the broader impact of the event (e.g., nationally, globally, etc.)

Include a link to the story or a citation so that others may read the story.

2. Clarke and other leaders in cybersecurity put the nation's power systems at the top-tier of our defensive actions against cyber attack. Using our weekly discussions and both textbooks as sources, what do you think are the current issues facing our power grids to defend against attacks? And, how does the Smart Grid concept impact the cybersecurity discussion?

3. Does the European view of privacy differ from the "reasonable expectation of privacy"? Why or why not? Does the European response to cybersecurity mirror that of the United States? Why or why not? How were the individual privacy rights of EU citizens affected by the recent Charlie Hebdo and Paris terrorist attacks? Support your position from the assigned reading or your own research.

4. Provide a url address for a contemporary academic or media article which demonstrates one or more concept(s) and/or topic(s) discussed in the assigned reading for this week. Then write a brief essay, not to exceed 3 paragraphs, identifying the basis for selecting this article and how the events described in the article correlate to the concept/topic.
