Answer to Question 1

An approach a hacker might use to breach network security is a mechanism referred to as cross site scripting or XSS. XSS attacks take advantage of web-application and web browser weaknesses to embed malicious scripts into web pages. In this event the user's web-application or browser is tricked into executing malicious code. Once executed, the malicious code can make it possible for the hacker to steal personal information allowing the hacker to impersonate the victim. Or the malicious code may cause the user's computer to launch attacks of its own without the user's knowledge.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
