For my group I have delegated the section describing what can happened once a target is successfully phished, and the section about defending against phishing. Michael will explain what phishing is as well as its how it came to be, and Victor took on the section describing how it was done in the past vs. today. We are all doing our own research and in communication with regards to our progress. There may be more sections added between now and submission, but these are the sections we have so far.

The portion of my groupâs work delegated to me is to talk about how to prevent cyber-attacks and why it is important to prevent them. Cyber-attacks are calculated attacks initiated by malicious hackers intended to do harm to peoplesâ or companies or government computers or network systems. Along this process, several things happen such as theft of personal information, medical information, personal assets/financial, etc. These attacks are sometimes enabled by governments in order to attack another government or in reply to an attack. The result of these attacks can be devastated. For example, when a personâs valuable information is stolen, that person can be blackmailed. In order to get back the stolen information, the person has to pay the ransom, or his/her information is sold to the black market. It could be even worse when infrastructures such as hospitals or nuclear sites are targeted because it could result in a lot of lives being lost. For example, if a hospitalâs power is turned off, people may die, and electrical materials may be destructed. For these reasons and other similar reasons, cyber-attacks are to be taken seriously and invested in the fightthem. Anti-virus is good in fighting cyber-attacks but there are several steps to be taken prior such as having qualified personnel to deal with upcoming threats in addition to having anti-virus software.

For my group, we collectively came up with topics within our general topic and we all decided on 4 topics to write about. After all four topics were established we each chose which topic we wanted to dive into. For my role, I will be researching how the global pandemic and high demand has led to shortages in the manufacturing industry derived from the shortage of chips and microchips. My research will be based on the cause of the chip shortage, and insight on whats going on with companies and their status now with the pandemic going on. here are some references that i have picked out so far.

Our group had a virtual meeting where we discussed and were able to break down the main topic of our project. Based on the number of the participants we decided to have 4 sub topics so each can choose one and elaborate based on reading and research. For our group the main topic is “IC chips and Processors Shortage” and as a sub section I have been delegated to work on the reasons why the chips are shorted and how the inactivity in the industrial sector creates delays and shortages to manufacturing processes. This sub section will takes a big role on our project as a whole and will keep me busy with some research on this worldwide technological issue that almost all industries have in common. I have utilized some sources that will be listed on the reference section below:

As a member of my group, I have delegated the section describing when you have been phished and what actions you need to take to save yourself. I have started doing researches on this section and am pretty much done with my section. I collected some information on what actions are needed to take when phished by Yael Grauer, a former contributor, highly experienced in security and online privacy.[1]
