Compare, evaluate, and select the most efficient and effective computer-based information systems from a management perspective.
Explain the interdependence and functionality of the hardware and software components of information systems and apply this knowledge to be able to advise and assist MIS staff about technical decisions.
Analyze how information technology can be used to synthesize complex data to enhance sound business decisions.

Review the CASE STUDY Is the Equifax Hack the Worst Ever—and Why? on pages 331-333 of your text.
Respond to the four Case Study questions on page 333: 8-13, 8-14, 8-15 and 8-16.
You may wish to enhance your submission by comparing and analyzing the similarities and differences to other data breach episodes not discussed specifically in the Case Study. For example, Chief Security Officer (CSO) Magazine Online Editor Dan Swinhoe ranked the Equifax hack as only #6, as of January 2021 (Students may wish to research and locate an updated list for comparison):
Biggest Data Breaches
Adobe 
Adult Friend Finder
Canva
Dubsmash
eBay
Equifax
Heartland Payment Systems 
LinkedIn
Marriott International
My Fitness Pal
MySpace
NetEase
Sina Weibo
Yahoo
Zynga
Of course it does matter how the rankings were determined:
“CSO compiled this list of the biggest 21st Century breaches using simple criteria: The number of people whose data was compromised. We also made a distinction between incidents where data was stolen for malicious intent and those where an organization inadvertently left data unprotected and exposed. Twitter, for example, left the passwords of its 330 million users unmasked in a log, but there was no evidence of any misuse. So, Twitter did not make this list” (Swinhoe, 2021, ¶2).
