Week 9 Post

Week 9 update:
It is just amazing how time passes. It feels like last month I decided to go back to college for masters and here I am trying to complete final four weeks. Most people say online college is easy, but I do not agree. It is hard to keep up with the grade because if you lost a couple of discussion board post and lost some points here and there, you are in the B+ category. However, if you invest your time and ask questions, you should be able to overcome the obstacles and finish your degree. There is no place for procrastination in the grad school. I am just sharing my experience, and I can't wait to finish my college. And finally, focus on other things.

Article 1 review:
There is some major cyber news trending online in this week. First one is the phishing attack attempts from Google Docs. I read an article written on RAWSTORY site page about this incident, and it was titled as " Google Docs phishing scam hammers home the importance of safe email habits." This title makes sense as many users don’t care about the security of email content. The phishing scam got so sophisticated that even someone with good cyber knowledge could fall into their trick. Users received an email with an invite to view a document from Google Docs from someone's email address they know. Once you click on it, it spreads to the user's contact list and multiplies. The take a way point from this article was about the importance of knowing the cyber threats and why you shouldn’t click on suspicious emails.
