While users of technology are becoming more educated in how to avoid cyberattacks such as phishing, a distracted user might be more prone to missing signs of social engineering. This project explored whether users immersed in augmented reality applications were more inclined to fall for an on-screen text message that prompted familiarity (such as a friend calling in) or urgency (such as a warning to update software or be subject to an automatic device re-boot within a certain timeframe). Featuring special guest Sarah Katz and hosted by ISACA's Collin Beder.
