Discussion 2

Perform a search on the Web for current articles and stories about social engineering attacks or reverse social engineering attacks. Find an attack that was successful, what damage was done and describe how it could have been prevented.  This attack must have occurred within the last 3 years. You are required to cite and reference at least two (2) articles and/or stories referencing this particular attack.

Directions:

For each discussion, you are required to write an initial post (300 words) and one secondary post (200 words).  The discussion forums will be worth 30 points apiece—20 points for the initial post and 10 points for the secondary post.  For your initial post, you must have two (2) academic peer-reviewed articles for references. References must be current within the last 5 years or points will be deducted.  You may include academic journal reviews.  

All discussions must be completed on-time and must include in-text citations and references in APA style formatting. If you do not use in-text citations or they are not in APA format you will lose points.  If you do not have references or if they are not in APA format, you will lose points. (You do not need citations and references for secondary posts).
