2) As technology and its functions have emerged, the security risks associated with
it has increased. Hospitals and other health care facilities are a common target for
illegal activity amongst cybercriminals. The Community Health Services(CHS)
fell victim to one of the largest hacking incidents which compromised personal
data of millions of patients. An organized Chinese cybercriminal group released
a malware called Heartbleed into the database that carries atleast 200 hospitals.
Failure to increase lax security measures further aided in this attack.

Googles search provided over 2 million results and also included how long it
took to search(.32sec.) where as Yahoo showed 80 million results without timer.
Googles sources seemed more reputable than yahoo sources. Googles related
search section included relevant search topics to the original source but Yahoo
provided more of a variety of health related topics.Although Yahoo provided
more results, Google is better because of the content and relativity

6)Obtaining articles from the internet involved less steps rather than going into
CCBCs database. Also, the content from the web was less organized than the college
database. The databases were more in depth in topic rather than the news articles.
Using the scholarly journals allowed more insight into the topic by explaining things in
very technical terms. The articles were more of an easy read.
