论文摘要

移动设备是在多元化行业中广泛使用的禁食技术之一。移动设备用于日常生活,例如个人信息交换 - 聊天,电子邮件,购物和移动银行业务,为信息安全威胁做出贡献。用户的行为会影响信息安全威胁。需要更多的研究来了解用户的避免威胁行为和动力。使用技术避免威胁理论(TTAT),本研究评估了影响移动设备用户的威胁动机和行为的因素,因为它与网络钓鱼攻击有关。从使用问卷调查的137个移动设备用户收集的数据中,调查结果表明,(1)移动设备用户的感知敏感性和网络钓鱼攻击的严重性与用户对威胁的看法有显着相关性; (2)移动设备用户避免威胁的动力与用户避免威胁的行为相关; (3)移动设备用户对网络钓鱼攻击的敏感性可以通过对威胁的感知来降低。这些发现表明,如果用户认为对移动设备的威胁的后果会很严重,从而增加了用户的动力和行为以避免避免网络钓鱼攻击威胁,他们对威胁的看法会增加。这项研究对个人和组织设置中的移动设备用户有益。

The mobile device is one of the fasted growing technologies that is widely used in a diversifying sector. Mobile devices are used for everyday life, such as personal information exchange - chatting, email, shopping, and mobile banking, contributing to information security threats. Users' behavior can influence information security threats. More research is needed to understand users' threat avoidance behavior and motivation. Using Technology threat avoidance theory (TTAT), this study assessed factors that influenced mobile device users' threat avoidance motivations and behaviors as it relates to phishing attacks. From the data collected from 137 mobile device users using a questionnaire, the findings indicate that (1) mobile device users' perceived susceptibility and severity of phishing attacks have a significant correlation with a users' perception of the threat; (2) mobile device users' motivation to avoid a threat is correlated to a users' behavior in avoiding threat; and (3) a mobile device user's susceptibility to phishing attacks can be reduced by their perception of the threat. These findings reveal that a user's perception of threat increases if they perceive that the consequence of such threat to their mobile devices will be severe, thereby increasing a user's motivation and behavior to avoid phishing attack threats. This study is beneficial to mobile device users in personal and organizational settings.
