Zane just graduated from college and us thrilled to explore his new life and all the excitement that comes with it. Just now, Zane received communication from a company to whom he owes $100,000 in student loans. The information in the communication states that Zane agreed on an annual interest rate of 7.99% that is compounded annually. Also, Zane is allowed to make one fixed payment at the end of each year for the next 10 years.

Zane is shocked by this information because it has been 4 years since he signed that agreement but he is not dishearted because he received another email from a company he interviewed with that he has been hired at an above average starting salary. Zane is a planner and he pulls up his old financial calculator to figure out how he is going to be debt free very soon.

Although the loan asks for payment at the end of each year, Zane believes that he should not wait all year long and instead should save every month. His expected salary after taxes is $5,000 per month. He has a savings account at a credit union that is expected to pay 3% interest on savings that is compounded monthly.

In order to save the annual payment, Zane has decided to deposit an equal amount of money from his paycheck to his savings account. What should be the monthly amount for Zane to have accumulated the annual payment? Show steps on how you got answer.

Eric received an email from Amazon Customer Service that said "Thank you for contacting us." But Eric did not contact them. Instead, an attacker had contacted them and pretended to be Eric. When Amazon Customer Service asked the attacker to identify himself all he had to do was give Eric’s name, email address, and mailing address—which the attacker got from Whois, which contains Eric’s registration information for his website. However, Eric knew to protect his actual mailing address so the registration information on Whois was actually a hotel close to Eric’s house. Because the information matched what was on file, Customer Service told the attacker the mailing address of Eric’s order, which was his real home address. Eric contacted Amazon, found out these details, and told them not to release any of his information to anyone who contacted Customer Service, to which Amazon agreed. Fast forward two months. Eric again received another "Thank you for contacting us" email. After contacting Amazon again, he found that this time the attacker had tried to get the last four digits of Eric’s credit card number on file through more social engineering tricks.

Fortunately, this time Amazon did not surrender that specific piece of information (although they had ignored his previous instruction not to give out any information). Had they provided the credit card number the attacker would have had enough information to pass the "I’m-the-real- Eric" test on almost any of Eric’s online accounts (using his name, email address, mailing address, and last four digits of his credit card) and trick their Customer Service into resetting Eric’s password. This would then allow the attacker to get into Eric’s online accounts and purchase a virtually unlimited number of items charged to Eric’s credit card. What went wrong? Should the first Amazon Customer Service representative have been reprimanded? What policies should Amazon have had in place to prevent this? What technologies should there be in place to prevent this? As a customer, what should you do to protect your online accounts?
