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."

1. When the author is quoted in a sentence, his name is not in brackets, only the year of his book. For example, the write-up should have read like this: "Shindell (2008) argues that hackers increasingly integrate ..." This is a more appropriate way of citing an author. However, the writer could do well to show the exact words of Shindell with quotation marks to differentiate from his or her words.

2. Two sentences were put in quotation marks without any indication of the author(s) to which the words were attributed. Since they look like direct quotes from Shindell, the write-up should read like this: Shindell (2008) said, "during an attack, victims ..." And the second quoted sentence should read like this: "... were hit with ransomware in the previous 12 months," according to Shindell (2008).

Referencing somebody else's intellectual property helps to avoid plagiarism, which is considered as a very serious crime.
