This case study describes FBI Major Case 216, which ultimately became a collaborative investigation between the FBI and site security professionals into a series of cyberattacks that took place from August 2003 to March 2005. Incident response specialists at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), played a significant and crucial role in this investigation. The attacks encompassed over a thousand sites, including high-security military sites and federal research laboratories, university sites, private sector sites, and machines owned by individuals, both in the U.S. and in Europe. In one case, a large company (Cisco) reported the theft of source code, which was later published online. The case drew much concerned interest from the FBI and the Departments of Energy and Defense particularly because of the initial, very real possibility that the attacks were sponsored by a foreign state. However, most of the damage sustained came in the form of time spent investigating the intrusions; notifying sites and users; and cleaning up, repairing, and securing the compromised systems. Investigation participants, estimate the cumulative cost of the Stakkato intrusions to be in millions of dollars. At its peak, the investigation involved 50 federal agents. Ultimately, the intrusions were traced back to a 19-year-old man in Uppsala, Sweden, nicknamed "Stakkato," who had begun the attacks when he was 16. Convicted of having gained unauthorized access to several Swedish university networks, "Stakkato" is still under investigation by the FBI for the Cisco code theft. ; Federal Bureau of Investigation ; National Center for Supercomputing Applications ; Open

The American news media has recently reported on several rape and sexual assault cases in various cultural settings, sparking public conversations about rape culture in different cultural contexts. The article is focused as a Critical Discourse Analysis that compares the language use in news articles from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal over a six months period in order to more clearly understand the way the news media uses language in regards to gender and sexual assault and creates a spectrum of valid versus contested reports of sexual assault in different cultural settings.

Discussions on case study methodology in International Relations (IR) have historically been dominated by positivist and neopositivist approaches. However, these are problematic for critical IR research, pointing to the need for a non-positivist case study methodology. To address this issue, this article introduces and adapts the extended case methodology as a critical, reflexivist approach to case study research, whereby the case is constructed through a dynamic interaction with theory, rather than selected, and knowledge is produced through extensions rather than generalisation. Insofar as it seeks to study the world in complex and non-linear terms, take context and positionality seriously, and generate explicitly political and emancipatory knowledge, the extended case methodology is consistent with the ontological and epistemological commitments of several critical IR approaches. Its potential is illustrated in the final part of the article with reference to researching the socioeconomic dimension of transitional justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
