Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Hackers are continually developing new tools and techniques that enable them to steal
more data. They experiment with new attack vectors, or ways of attacking a target. In the data
breach that occurred at Target Corporation in late 2013, attackers first purchased malware
designed specifically for the attacks they planned to carry out. They then used spear phishing, or
a targeted phishing attack, to infect a Target third party vendor's system and gather keystrokes,
login credentials, and screenshots from the vendor's users. The attackers used this information to
gain access into Target's internal network. Once inside Target's network, the attackers
compromised an internal Windows file server. From this server, the attackers used malware
named Trojan.POSRAM to extract customer data from point-of-sale (POS) terminals. Customer
data was continuously sent from the POS terminals to an extraction server within Target's
network. It was then funneled out of Target's network to drop servers in Russia, Brazil, and
Miami. From there, the data was collected and sold on the black market.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Blastomycosis is often misdiagnosed, resulting in tragic outcomes. It is caused by a fungus living in moist soil, in wooded areas of the United States and Canada. If inhaled, the fungus can cause mild breathing problems that may worsen and cause serious illness and even death.
