To link to full-text access for this article, visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2010.06.023 Byline: Nicola Davinson, Elizabeth Sillence Keywords: Security; Risk perception; Risk information; Training; Phishing; Internet Abstract: Fraudulent activity on the Internet, in particular the practice known as 'Phishing', is on the increase. Although a number of technology focussed counter measures have been explored user behaviour remains fundamental to increased online security. Encouraging users to engage in secure online behaviour is difficult with a number of different barriers to change. Guided by a model adapted from health psychology this paper reports on a study designed to encourage secure behaviour online. The study aimed to investigate the effects of education via a training program and the effects of risk level manipulation on subsequent self-reported behaviour online. The training program 'Anti-Phishing Phil' informed users of the common types of phishing threats and how to identify them whilst the risk level manipulation randomly allocated participants to either high risk or low risk of becoming a victim of online fraud. Sixty-four participants took part in the study, which comprised of 9 males and 55 females with an age range of 18-43years. Participants were randomly allocated to one of four experimental groups. High threat information and/or the provision of phishing education were expected to increase self-reports of secure behaviour. Secure behaviour was measured at three stages, a baseline measure stage, an intention measure stage, and a 7-day follow-up measure stage. The results showed that offering a seemingly tailored risk message increased users' intentions to act in a secure manner online regardless of whether the risk message indicated they were at high or low risk of fraud. There was no effect of the training programme on secure behaviour in general. The findings are discussed in relation to the model of behaviour change, information provision and the transferability of training.

Internet fraud -- Analysis, Phishing -- Analysis, White collar crimes -- Analysis, Law enforcement -- Analysis, Internet -- Usage -- Analysis, Internet, Business, international
Abstract

According to more than 600 seasoned law enforcement professionals from all agencies (i.e., federal, state, sheriff, and municipal), the Internet has become a conduit for white-collar crime, making it easier to perpetrate. These law enforcement professionals believe international and domestic cooperation by government and business must be harnessed to ensure the Internet continues to flourish free of these white-collar criminals. Otherwise, consumers and businesses may be reluctant to use the Internet for e-commerce. And, as the current collateralized mortgage debt crisis illustrates, fear can paralyze our economic system here and abroad. Keywords: Internet crime and Internet white-collar crime, INTRODUCTION The Internet may prove to be the most important technological advance in the past decades. Through the Internet, our educational system can provide students of all ages with access [...]

Abstract

Byline: Kai S. Koong, Lai C. Liu, Shuming Bai, June Wei While it is true that the internet has helped businesses reach customers who were previously not accessible, it has also opened up another opportunity for fraud. This study examines the occurrences of online fraud and where they were committed for the period 2002 through 2006. Several interesting trends were found to exist in the data set. First and as expected, the number of online fraud complaints was high in states and geographic regions with large populations. However, when the population was factored in, the trends were quite different. Second, 2006 was the first year that contained some evidences of a decline in the number of cases reported. Even among states and regions that had high incidences of complaints, the growth rates appear to be levelling off.
