Journal #6<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Can you spot three fake websites? [Refer Online Security Blogs, Public Awareness Sites, Academic Resources etc., and cite the source]. Compare the three fake websites to three real websites and highlight the features that identify them as fraudulent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
The first fake website is a website posing as Amazon. The difference between the real<\/span>
Amazon site and the fake \u201cAmazon\u201d site is the URL. The URL in the fake site has an \u201cx\u201d<\/span>
at the end of “amazon,” so it reads “amazonx.com.\u201d This small difference can go<\/span>
unnoticed, causing someone to use this fake website.<\/span>
The other fake website has the same URL as the real website except it is missing the<\/span>
\u201csecure\u201d in hypertext transfer protocol. So the website says http instead of https, making<\/span>
it less secure and likely to be fake\/unreliable.<\/span>
Another fake website imitated a Honda Canadian site selling Honda lawnmowers for<\/span>
80%-90% off. The real website did not have discounts that low. If a website is selling<\/span>
something for a suspiciously low price or at a price that seems too good to be true, it is<\/span>
more than likely a fake.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Journal #7<\/h3>\n

Prompt: Review the following photos through a human-centered cybersecurity framework.\u00a0Create a meme for your favorite three, explaining what is going on in the individual\u2019s or individuals\u2019 mind(s).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Journal #8<\/h3>\n

Prompt: Write a journal entry about how you think the media influences our understanding about cybersecurity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
There are some aspects of cybersecurity in the media that are true, but I feel for the<\/span>
most part, how cybersecurity is presented to the public is not realistic. For example,<\/span>
because of the media, the term \u201chacker\u201d has a negative connotation, causing people to<\/span>
only think of hackers as criminals when there are ethical hackers as well, such as \u201cwhite<\/span>
hat hackers.\u201d In the video, the lady also mentions how in these shows and movies, the<\/span>
characters are mainly using made-up terms, doing things incorrectly, or doing things<\/span>
with computers brought in for investigation that may be considered dangerous or not<\/span>
smart. Some methods shown in media, such as \u201cspear phishing\u201d or games like “CTF,”<\/span>
are pretty realistic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Journal #9<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Complete the\u00a0Social Media Disorder scale<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Download Social Media Disorder scale <\/span><\/a><\/span>How did you score?\u00a0What do you think about the items in the scale?\u00a0Why do you think that different patterns are found across the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
I scored 1\/9 on the social media disorder scale. I thought some of the items on the scale<\/span>
were relatable and that the others were kind of crazy. I understand some people have<\/span>
experienced things such as arguing with family or friends because of their social media<\/span>
usage, but it hasn\u2019t been a thing for me, so I just thought that was a little crazy. I related<\/span>
with some things like the persistence and displacement portions of the scale, but the<\/span>
scale asked if those things regularly happened and it is just a \u201chere and there\u201d thing for<\/span>
me; I do not regularly neglect other activities to use social media, etc.<\/span>
I think different patterns are found across the world because of the access to technology<\/span>
and social media and because of different cultures. A country that does not use<\/span>
technology a lot generally will not relate to many things on this scale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Journal #10<\/h3>\n

Prompt: <\/strong>Read this and write a journal entry summarizing your response to the article on social cybersecurity \u00a0https:\/\/www.armyupress.army.mil\/Journals\/Military-Review\/English-Edition-Archives\/Mar-Apr-2019\/117-Cybersecurity\/bLinks to an external site.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
The article explains how social cybersecurity is an emerging domain that will a<\/span>ff<\/span>ect the<\/span>
future of our warfare. Social cybersecurity focuses on human behavior and \u201chacking\u201d<\/span>
humans, while traditional cybersecurity focuses on humans \u201chacking\u201d technology. Over<\/span>
the past few years, information has become decentralized, and now a lot of<\/span>
organizations control the<\/span> fl<\/span>ow of information that is distributed to society. The article<\/span>
mentions how \u201cit is imperative for leaders to understand social cybersecurity to defend<\/span>
internal weaknesses against external manipulation.\u201d Social cybersecurity is a vital<\/span>
discipline for our future, and it is important that our military and society are educated<\/span>
about the decentralized modern information and the risks involved. Lastly, the article<\/span>
mentions that because social cybersecurity is multidisciplinary, \u201cwe must develop a<\/span>
multidisciplinary approach to cybersecurity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
