“…Users who are aware of threats are also more engaged in protective practices (Hanus & Wu, 2016). Therefore, effective security training and education programs should take a systematic approach by making sure they address the multiple dimensions of security awareness (G. L. White, 2015). Effective information security awareness and training programs should lead to improvement in graduates' ability to exercise protective reactions.…”

Hackers who engage in phishing manipulate their victims into revealing confidential information by exploiting their motives, habits, and cognitive biases. Drawing on heuristic-systematic processing and the anchoring effect, this study examines how the contextualization of phishing messages, in the form of modifications to their framing and content, affects individuals’ susceptibility to phishing. This study also investigates if there is a discrepancy between the way individuals believe they will react to phishing attempts and their actual reactions. Using two fake phishing campaigns and an online survey, we find that individuals are more susceptible to phishing attempts when the phishing messages they receive are specific to their context, thereby appealing to their psychological vulnerabilities. There is also a significant gap between how individuals believe they will react and their actual reactions to phishing attempts.

“…For a human working at a computer, it is significant to be able to monitor human behavior by collecting data on the operations of mouse clicking, sliding, scrolling, takingup-putting-down, etc., for process monitoring, behavior recognition, human-machine interfaces, and healthcare monitoring [32][33][34]. The phenomenon of interest is that there are various combinations of different operations engaged in by a human performing different tasks using a computer.…”

“…Considering the common features of TENGs and PENGs, being based on surface charging of functional films, preparing TENG-PENG hybrids for concurrently sensing pressing and sliding motions represents an excellent option. Usage of computers has come to occupy a great part of daily human life; thus, the effective and precise collection of computer user behavior information is significant in various fields, such as health care, juvenile protection, safety recognition, and human-machine interfaces for artificial intelligence [32][33][34]. There are few works reporting computer user motion monitoring via nanogenerators, which is a significant topic to be explored.…”

A Mousepad Triboelectric-Piezoelectric Hybrid Nanogenerator (TPHNG) for Self-Powered Computer User Behavior Monitoring Sensors and Biomechanical Energy Harvesting

Hybrid nanogenerators based on the principle of surface charging of functional films are significant in self-powering sensing and energy conversion devices due to their multiple functions and high conversion efficiency, although applications remain limited due to a lack of suitable materials and structures. Here, we investigate a triboelectric-piezoelectric hybrid nanogenerator (TPHNG) in the form of a mousepad for computer user behavior monitoring and energy harvesting. Triboelectric and piezoelectric nanogenerators with different functional films and structures work independently to detect sliding and pressing movements, and the profitable coupling between the two nanogenerators leads to enhanced device outputs/sensitivity. Different mouse operations such as clicking, scrolling, taking-up/putting-down, sliding, moving rate, and pathing can be detected by the device via distinguishable patterns of voltage ranging from 0.6 to 36 V. Based on operation recognition, human behavior monitoring is realized, with monitoring of tasks such as browsing a document and playing a computer game being successfully demonstrated. Energy harvesting from mouse sliding, patting, and bending of the device is realized with output voltages up to 37 V and power up to 48 μW while exhibiting good durability up to 20,000 cycles. This work presents a TPHNG utilizing surface charging for self-powered human behavior sensing and biomechanical energy harvesting.

“…Training about phishing can lead to users' heightened awareness of phishing attacks, which lowers their risk of becoming a victim (Jansson & von Solms, 2013). White (2012White ( , 2015 found a relationship between education and security incidents but they found a negative relationship. With both computer and security education and training (CSET), users should be able to recognize security incidents.…”

Organizations expect their employees to connect securely to the organization's computer systems. Often these employees use their personal computers to access the organization's networks. This research explores whether these same employees apply protective security measures to their personal computers. Perhaps these employees behave riskily based on their optimistic bias. Results indicate that while cyber optimistic bias and perceived vulnerability influence individuals to apply more protective security measures, the users still experienced security incidents. Thus, organization are vulnerable to cyber-attacks if they are allowing employees to use personal computers to access these databases.
