Locate a demonstration of Dark Web access on YouTube or a similar site. Be sure to include the link to the video you watched with your experience and knowledge gained from it and description. After you have viewed the video, reflect on what you have seen.

Plan an attack describing how you would obtain credentials from the dark web and plot a fraud attack with techniques to evade detection aimed at a financial institution with advanced detection capabilities. Assume unexpected hurdles are encountered with new threat defenses. Plot what those defenses may entail and how you would attempt to defeat them.
Assignment 1: Scenario:

You are financially burdened, tech savvy, and desperate to stay afloat financially. Aware of the Dark Web and the tools available, plot an attack to gain the assets needed (on paper only). Since we are thinking about how to be the attacker, select an attack type and then list what resources you might gain by using the dark web to conduct your attack. This attack should have an angle of fraud associated with it aligned to the Angel Grant interview and what vulnerability you might be targeting in your attack base. Document the methods used to obtain credentials , how you go about the sale or purchase of said credentials, and how you may use those credentials to evade detection and benefit financially. With the methods of attack described, document the expected defenses in the financial institute you are avoiding as the attacker. As the attacker, what defenses would work to counter your attack? These should not be well known in documented defenses for fraud attacks today, either easily searchable or learned through this course.

Since attackers and defenders are in a non-stop offensive/defensive mode, what new tactics from the attacker (you) and countermeasures from the financial institution would you expect to see next?

Your paper submission should be 1-2 pages in length  with line-and-a-half spacing. Your submission should adhere to the APA reference standard for all sources used to support your writing. Innovative and concise format covering all bases is preferred.
