Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Human errors in a procedure or a lack of procedures in information management can
result in denial of service (DOS). For example, humans can inadvertently shut down a Web
server or corporate gateway router by starting a computationally intensive application. Denial-ofservice attacks can be launched maliciously. A malicious hacker can flood a Web server, for
example, with millions of bogus service requests that so occupy the server that it cannot service
legitimate requests. Computer worms can infiltrate a network with so much artificial traffic that
legitimate traffic cannot get through. Natural disasters may also cause systems to fail, resulting in
denial of service.
