network & internet security

Working on my Thesis

i have decided to research on internet and network security

i want to research stories that have impacted large companies and find out what went wrong


as far my thesis goes, i'm not sure what it will consist of yet...but this is what i plan to research and look at to try and find a thesis:

- scholarly journals about network security
- conferences about network security
- news articles about corporations and network security scandals

another topic that has some to do with the internet and security is pirating. i grew up sharing music and watched the rise/fall of napster and how sharing music has led to sharing software, movies, and much more. recently there has been court hearings concerning such matters and websites have been taken directly off the world wide web.

here is a link to a bill that has been trying to get passed in the past two years about copyright infringement - http://www.eff.org/coica

this is all for now.
