Discussion: Week Seven – Group 1
Week Seven
This weeks discussion focuses on social engineering and computer ethics. You will be working in small discussion groups to make conversations more manageable and interactive. You will post individually within your group and respond to your group members.
This week, you explored how attackers exploit human behavior through tactics like impersonation, authority, and trust, and how these same techniques can be used ethically in penetration testing. In this discussion, you will apply what you learned by creating a realistic scenario and analyzing both the risks and ethical considerations.
Important Reminder: Posting Deadlines Matter
Because discussions depend on interaction with your classmates, it is important that everyone posts on time. Posting your initial response by the deadline allows others enough time to read your ideas and respond thoughtfully. Late initial posts make it difficult for meaningful discussion to occur.Please no plagiarism no ai no chat bots. Original work only. Should be 500 words.
Discussion Prompt:

- College campus

- What tactic is being used? (impersonation, authority, urgency, etc.)
- Explain why the attack would work:
- What human behavior is being exploited?
- Propose one realistic defense:
- What could prevent this attack?
