Journal Entry 5

The meme that I have created is supposed to represent a person using a free Wi-Fi that is nearby. The monster in the picture is representing a hacker that put that free Wi-Fi there for the person to use. The person going up the stairs is representing him using free Wi-Fi without thinking anything of it. How my meme relates to Human System Integration is that us humans we make mistakes sometimes and we do not think about some things without questioning it. Burgard and Schlembach talked about three stages of fraud and the one my meme was about related to staying attuned, which means that interaction with the offender happens and the offender is using counterfeit illusions to steal from the victim. You can see how this also happens in the real world for example, people who go to coffee shops and use their laptop or electronic devices there hackers can be sitting in those shops and you would think that they are just regular people but they will make a fake Wi-Fi name of that coffee shop store to trick people into joining that Wi-Fi. So when people join these types of Wi-Fi the hacker can just take a good amount of information from that person and use it to their advantage. So it is always important that when you go out and you see free Wi-Fi that you can join, always question if it is legit and not fake and also if you are at a place with free Wi-Fi ask the store employees for the Wi-Fi just to be safe.
