•Find a company that has suffered a security breach in 2019. Provide background information on the company such as the type of business, their services, public or private, locations, etc. The reader should have a good understanding of the company after reading the bio. Next, provide information on the security breach; the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. 

•Create an Incident Response Plan (IRP) for the company. You can use the breach as a foundation if desired. The IRP should be a professionally looking document that is included as an attachment.

•Create a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) for the company. Again, you can use the previous breach as a foundation if desired. The DRP should be a professionally looking document that is included as an attachment.

This task relates to a sequence of assessments that will be repeated across Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Select any example of a visualisation or infographic, maybe your own work or that of others. The task is to undertake a deep, detailed ‘forensic’ like assessment of the design choices made across each of the five layers of the chosen visualisation’s anatomy. In each case your assessment is only concerned with one design layer at a time.

For this task, take a close look at the colour choices:

1. Start by identifying all the applications of colour deployed, listing them under the headers of 1) data legibility, 2) editorial salience, and 3) functional harmony.
2. How suitable are the choices and deployment of these colours? If they are not, what do you think they should have been?
3. Go through the set of ‘Influencing factors’ from the latter section of the book’s chapter to help shape your assessment and to possibly inform how you might tackle this design layer differently
4. Also, considering the range of potential applications of colour, what would you do differently or additionally?

Chapter 8

Review Question #4 on page 261 and then answer the following question:

The new age of technology presents many opportunities for litigation. The Internet is no exception. When operating Internet websites, an important part of it is owning the domain name (www.example.com). Anyone in the world can own any domain name that is available and the facts of this case arise from this concept.

The plaintiff, in this case, Weather Underground Corporation (Weather Underground), a Michigan corporation, is a commercial weather service. It owns and operates several domain names so that people can access their company through their websites. Defendants, in this case, Navigation Catalyst Systems, Incorporated (“NCS”), a Delaware corporation, owns many domain names that are similar to the plaintiff’s company name (some would result from people misspelling the correct domain name for Weather Underground). NCS profits from consumers going to one of these websites and clicking on links that are on them.

Plaintiff filed suit against NCS and several of its companies in the District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. As defendants were not incorporated in Michigan, the issue of personal jurisdiction arise. The courts of appeals have held that in order to establish specific personal jurisdiction (showing that this company has established contacts with the forum state), one must show three things: (1) the defendant purposefully availed himself of the privilege of acting in the forum state, (2) the cause of action arises from the defendant’s activities there, and (3) the defendant’s acts were so substantial as to make the exercise of personal jurisdiction there reasonable.

The district court is considering whether the exercise of personal jurisdiction is proper. What should it decide and why?

Weather Underground Inc. v. Navigation Catalyst Sys. Inc., No. 09–10756, 2009 WL 3818191 (E.D. Mich. Nov. 13, 2009).

The district court is considering whether the exercise of personal jurisdiction is proper. What should it decide and why?
