Beth Jenkins-- Subject Librarian Review

On Thursday, October 20th, at 3 pm, I met with the subject Librarian. In the class I attended, he went through the library website and showed us how to look up relevant information related to our topic. I did not learn a ton of new things that I had not already learned from previous classes and prior research, however, it was a good refresher and brought me up to date with the REF WORKS web page. 

I discovered that I still need to narrow my topic in more. So far, I am researching phishing attacks through mobile devices and ways to successfully avoid those attacks in the future. I found one article from Scopus in specific that addresses that concern. The article mentions how individuals fall victim to phishing attacks because of the influence of email habits and cognitive heuristics. More often than not, people do not consciously note their surroundings and what may seem to be a little "fishy". Due to this lack of awareness, the majority of people today have fallen prey to some sort of phishing attack. This article specifically talked about the number of phishing attacks in mobile device usage.
