Learn more about human factors behind common email scams
Have you ever received a suspicious-looking email purporting to be from someone you know, or one urging you to take immediate action, or share personal information? If so, you may be interested in learning more about email scams, including email “phishing,” the most common form of email scam.
Join us on Thursday, April 29, at 3 p.m. to hear Janelle Banister, a senior computer science major in the cyber security concentration, present on her research into the human factors behind common email scams.
While the actual mechanisms bad actors use to carry out email scams are technical in nature, this talk is intended for a non-technical audience, and all members of the campus community are invited to attend.
After the presentation, there will be time for questions and discussion; this is a great opportunity to learn more about how to recognize various email scams and protect yourself from being taken advantage of, no matter your degree of technical expertise.
Janelle will be presenting in person in EHS 119, and up to 10 people may attend in person. The presentation and following Q & A session will also be live-streamed via Zoom (passcode: 810674)
Contact Brian Snider (bsnider@georgefox.edu) with any questions, or to RSVP for in-person attendance.
