This course demonstrates my analytical thinking skills through deep-level analysis of cybercriminal motives and methodologies.
#1: Thematic Analysis of Cyberattacks
In this analytical paper, I synthesized ten different news sources to identify recurring trends in modern cybercrime, specifically the weaponization of AI and the shift toward psychological exploits. This paper showed me how to look at the “why” instead of the “how” of these attacks, which became the primary trends of cybercrime.
#2: Cybercrime Concept Map
In this concept map, I analyzed numerous concepts learned from the course that applied to cybercrime and synthesized them into multiple categories and subcategories to make connections. This concept map deepened my understanding of how the topic of cybercrime can be an interconnected topic that bridges the gap between criminological theory, challenges, and technical exploitation.
#3: Tampa Bay Romance Scam
In this assignment, I analyzed a cyberfraud case study that involved both romance and investment scams. This assignment deepened my understanding of how cybercriminals can weaponize trust for personal gain.
