Abstract

This study aims to analyze the behaviour of IT users regarding their personal protection against potential cybercrimes. The research data set is based on surveys conducted by the European Commission in 2020-2021 for 35 European countries. Canonical analysis revealed that 66.67% of cybercrime cases (Phishing, Pharming, Online identity theft, etc.) determine individuals' choice of personal protection method (using a security token, social media logins, electronic identification, etc.). Kohonen's self-organizing maps were used to form 9 clusters of countries depending on the attitude of IT users to personal cybersecurity. The map results showed that individuals behave less responsibly using a security token, electronic identification certificate or card, pin code list or random characters of a password, and other electronic identification procedures. Users from Denmark, the Netherlands, Iceland, Norway, the UK, Austria, and Finland were the most responsible Europeans in terms of personal protection, while people from Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina were the least conscientious about protection.

资讯科技用户在防范网络罪行方面是否负责任?

本研究旨在分析资讯科技使用者在个人防范潜在网络犯罪方面的行为。该研究数据集基于欧盟委员会在2020-2021年对35个欧洲国家进行的调查。规范分析显示，66.67%的网络犯罪案件(网络钓鱼、网络诈骗、网络身份盗窃等)决定了个人对个人保护方法的选择(使用安全令牌、社交媒体登录、电子身份识别等)。根据IT用户对个人网络安全的态度，Kohonen的自组织地图被用来形成9个国家集群。地图结果显示，使用安全令牌、电子身份证件或卡、pin码列表或密码随机字符以及其他电子身份识别程序的个人行为更不负责。来自丹麦、荷兰、冰岛、挪威、英国、奥地利和芬兰的用户在个人保护方面是最负责任的欧洲人，而来自保加利亚、罗马尼亚、塞尔维亚、阿尔巴尼亚、北马其顿、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的用户在保护方面最不负责。
