Popis: The use of mobile devices is ubiquitous across all elements of daily life. The devices have become so embedded in all activities that users assume security concerns are limited to some specific apps or locations. Most devices and apps have credentialed logins that give an aura of privacy and security. When cautioned or asked whether to proceed to a somewhat suspect website, users proceed without exercising proper levels of caution. Convenience and time concerns out-weigh caution and privacy concerns for many users. This paper presents a teaching case, based on actual events, that provides students with a concrete example of how mobile devices can be used to commit business fraud. It demonstrates how seemingly-simple transactions that are conducted without careful security rules can cause great harm. The case includes teaching materials to support its use in the classroom.
