Scenario: A hacker breaks into the computer systems at Brigham & Women's Hospital at four o'clock on a Monday morning. Before most of the doctors arrive to treat their patients for the day, the malicious computer intruder changes a number of patient files on the hospital's central database system: surgeries slated to be performed on the right leg are now switched to the left leg; recorded blood types are altered from AB negative to O-positive; warnings for known allergies to medicines such as penicillin are electronically erased from patients' charts; and laboratory records on HIV blood test results are insidiously switched from negative to positive just before patients are to receive their results. Instructions: Write and submit your response to four of the six questions below.
  • How would this case be investigated?
  • What law enforcement agencies would be involved?
  • What if it turns out that the cyber-criminal lives outside Massachusetts, in another state or another country? Who has jurisdiction?
  • Considering the lack of physical boundaries on the internet, is it possible to reach out beyond the court’s geographic boundaries to haul a defendant into its court for conduct in “Cyberspace”?
  • How does a country request the extradition of an alleged offender if the requested nation has no equivalent offence?
  • What if there are wide discrepancies in the types of punishment and sentencing?
