Abstract

One hundred-sixty four participants from the United States, India and China completed a survey designed to assess past phishing experiences and whether they engaged in certain online safety practices (e.g., reading a privacy policy). The study investigated participants' reported agreement regarding the characteristics of phishing attacks, types of media where phishing occurs and the consequences of phishing. A multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that there were significant differences in agreement regarding phishing characteristics, phishing consequences and types of media where phishing occurs for these three nationalities. Chronological age and education did not influence the agreement ratings; therefore, the samples were demographically equivalent with regards to these variables. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the categorical variables and nationality data. Results based on self-report data indicated that (1) Indians were more likely to be phished than Americans, (2) Americans took protective actions more frequently than Indians by destroying old documents, and (3) Americans were more likely to notice the "padlock" security icon than either Indian or Chinese respondents. The potential implications of these results are discussed in terms of designing culturally sensitive anti-phishing solutions.
国际水域的网络钓鱼:探索中国、印度和美国样本之间网络钓鱼概念的跨国差异
来自美国、印度和中国的164名参与者完成了一项调查,旨在评估过去的网络钓鱼经历,以及他们是否采取了某些在线安全措施(例如,阅读隐私政策)。该研究调查了参与者报告的关于网络钓鱼攻击特征、网络钓鱼发生的媒体类型以及网络钓鱼后果的一致意见。多变量协方差分析表明,这三个国家在网络钓鱼特征、网络钓鱼后果和网络钓鱼发生的媒体类型方面存在显著差异。实足年龄和受教育程度对一致性评分没有影响;因此,就这些变量而言,样本在人口统计学上是相等的。对分类变量和国籍数据进行logistic回归分析。基于自我报告数据的结果表明:(1)印度人比美国人更容易被钓鱼,(2)美国人比印度人更频繁地采取保护措施,销毁旧文件,(3)美国人比印度或中国受访者更容易注意到“挂锁”安全图标。这些结果的潜在影响在设计文化敏感的反网络钓鱼解决方案方面进行了讨论。
