Plagiarism Handbook a guide for both teachers and students

White Paper: Ouriginal

What is Plagiarism? To start this guide on the right foot directly, let’s dig into the definition of what generally is considered plagiarism. Note that it goes further than just copy-pasting someone else’s text and expands to copying someone’s (published) idea as a whole. Even more broadly, plagiarism could also include copyright infringements. According to Jude Carroll, Oxford Brookes University and Carl Mikael Zetterling, KTH Learning Lab, plagiarism occurs when someone describes another’s thoughts or wording as though they were one’s own. This means that plagiarism does not necessarily have to be about textual similarity. It could also be a question of structural or conceptual similarity. “In your own text, you are responsible for ensuring that both the thoughts and wording are your own. If you describe someone else’s thoughts or wording as your own, you have plagiarised.” (Carroll & Zetterling, year 2009) What it means in effect is that if you have to read text A to be able to create text B, then text A must be cited as a source. Not mentioning the source constitutes plagiarising.

The World's First Mobile Malware Celebrates Its 10th Birthday

White Paper: Fortinet

From Cabir to FakeDefend, the last decade has seen the number of mobile malware explode. In 2013, Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs has seen more than 1,300 new malicious applications per day and is currently tracking more than 300 Android malware families and more than 400,000 malicious Android applications. Besides the sheer growth in numbers, another important trend to note is that mobile malware has followed the same evolution as PC malware, but at a much faster pace. The widespread adoption of smartphones--and the fact that they can easily access a payment system (premium rate phone numbers)--makes them easy targets that can quickly generate money once infected. Furthermore, they have capabilities such as geo-location, microphones, embedded GPS and cameras, all of which enable a particularly intrusive level of spying on their owners. Like PC malware, mobile malware quickly evolved into an effective and efficient way of generating a cash stream, while supporting a wide range of business models. In the following chronology, FortiGuard Labs looks at the most significant mobile malware over the last 10 years and explains their role in the evolution of threats.
