You are preparing to write a four-source essay, a six-source essay, and a multiple-source essay. This exercise is designed to help you develop the skill of citing one source in a paragraph.
Please examine the following short paragraph on a hypothetical paper about cybersecurity and the Internet of Things. The writer has made some errors in his integration of Shindell as a source.
Please identify at least two errors. Describe what the errors are in a sentence or two. (You don’t have to re-write the paragraph. You just need to describe what the errors are.)
One potential method of hacking into a hospital’s records is through a wearable device. Often, wearable devices are used by health care institutions to monitor blood pressure or other health conditions. However, such devices expose vulnerabilities in the system. (Shindell, 2018) argues that hackers increasing integrate malware to infect such devices and then use them as foundations upon which to attack the health care institution’s IT systems. Specifically, (Shindell, 2018) maintains that ransomware is especially pernicious. “During an attack, victims will typically encounter a screen giving them directions for paying a ransom to retrieve their data…” “More than half of hospitals surveyed were hit with ransomware in the previous 12 months.”
(Shindell, 2018) argues that hackers increasing integrate malware to infect such devices and then use them as foundations upon which to attack the health care institution’s IT systems.
This could be reworded and cited differently like "Shindell (2018) argues that hackers increasing....." or reworded so that the thought should be written out and then reference after.
(Shindell, 2018) maintains that ransomware is especially pernicious. “During an attack, victims will typically encounter a screen giving them directions for paying a ransom to retrieve their data…” “More than half of hospitals surveyed were hit with ransomware in the previous 12 months.”
The last two sentence are direct quotes without proper citations. The last sentence could been written as, "According to Shindell (2018), more than half of ...."

Risk management in Information Security today Everyday information security professionals are bombarded with marketing messages around risk and threat management, fostering an environment in which objectives seem clear: manage risk, manage threat, stop attacks, identify attackers. These objectives aren't wrong, but they are fundamentally misleading.In this session we'll examine the state of the information security industry in order to understand how the current climate fails to address the true needs of the business. We'll use those lessons as a foundation...
IT's About Business 4.1 The Heartbleed Bug What Is Heartbleed? OpenSSL, an open-source software package, is a popular type of transport layer security (TLS) software (discussed later in this chapter) that secures numerous websites around the world. Web servers use OpenSSL to encrypt sites. Such sites show up in browsers with a “lock” icon and the “https” prefix in the address bar. The encryption protects Internet sites offering banking, shopping, email, and other private communications. Roughly two out of three...
