This week my group members and I came in with 2 potential solution ideas to class on Wednesday. From that our goal was to choose 3 of them to ultimately write our white paper about.

My two potential solutions were to use a fraud management software/service available from another company or to form a security task force within eBay. Ultimately, we chose the fraud management software idea as a solution, and Ricardo molded the task force idea into a unique separate solution.

For Friday (10/17), we are to have completed the rough drafts of the solutions and the summary. I completed mine earlier today, and I focused on an article about a new fraud management software that will be available in the future. The article is actually dated 10/16/2008, so it is very timely and current. I also used the website of the company that is featured in the article, iovation, for more specifics about how their system works.

This weekend is the bulk of my contribution of the paper, as I will be writing the summary after all portions have been emailed to me, so I have a writing-filled weekend to look forward to. :)
