Before doing this assignment, be sure you are familiar with the General Instructions for List Assignments found in the Course Information Module.

The purpose of this list assignment is to create a list of cyberattacks, many of which we will refer to later in the quarter. Unlike all other list assignments this quarter, I will provide the list, you just have to provide the details about each item on the list.

The list of cyberattacks you must take your item from is in this module, titled "Cyberattack Reference List". You are welcome to choose any attack in the list, as long as no student has previously posted about that attack..

And here are the details you need to put in your post:

• Title. You must title your post with the title used in the Reference List.
• Target. What company, government, organization (or group of them) was the target of the attack?
• Attacker. Who was the attacker?
• Year. What year did the attack take place?
• Consequence. What happened in the attack, what was the attacker trying to accomplish?
• Motivation. What was the apparent motivation of the attacker?
• Other. You must describe one other interesting fact about the attack. A sentence or two is all that is required.

It is rare that we know for certain who is behind an attack. So when identifying the attacker, be sure to say whether it is known for sure or just speculation. If it unknown, or the articles provided don't say anything about who was behind the attack, just say so, You don't have to research beyond the articles provided.
