Email load and stress impact on susceptibility to phishing and scam emailsRozentals, Emils January 2021 (has links)
How does the email load and stress affect the susceptibility to phishing and scam emails? The study was conducted with a Qualitative research approach. Semi-structured interviews were selected for the data gathering. Thematic Analysis was used to analyze Empirical data. This research studied if a high email load affects the likelihood of falling victim to phishing and scam attacks. Research was studied through a theoretical lens of stress, since high email load is subjective for each individual and stress rate can show better how people are perceiving their email load. Findings suggest that high email load for the majority of people in this study, does increase the susceptibility towards phishing and scam emails. Furthermore, those people with higher email load who are processing their emails heuristically evaluated their stress rates higher than those with high email load who are processing their emails systematically. Therefore, the results indicate that there is a relation between high email load, stress and susceptibility to phishing and scam emails. In this study, it was found that majority of respondents described high stress as a factor that played a role in their susceptibility of falling victim to phishing and scam emails.

Modelování elektrických obvodů ve specializovaném paralelním systému / Electric Circuits Simulations in a Specialized Parallel SystemJanko, Roman January 2013 (has links)
This work provides an overview of methods for the numerical solution of differential equations. Options of their parallelization, a division of computational operations on multiple microprocessors, are provided with emphasis placed on the Taylor series. The next part of the work is devoted to the description of a specialized parallel system, which was design to fast solving of these equations. Differential equations are appropriate to describe electrical circuits. An important characteristic of each circuit is its behavior in the frequency domain. The aim of this thesis was to design and implement a program which investigate frequency characteristics of AC circuits. A method for analyzing a circuit and automatically assembling corresponding equations is presented. These differential equations are then solved in TKSL. At the end of this work a time consumption is evaluated and compared with Matlab.

Puppy Valley: An App-Mediated Board Game to Enhance Scam And Fraud Awareness Among US SeniorsPrince Owusu Attah (10731960) 05 May 2021 (has links)
<p>Scams and fraud have become a significant problem for the American population within the past few years. While victims range from young to older adults, it is the seniors who are the major targets. In 2018 the Federal Trade Commission reported that senior citizens aged 60 years and above formed 35% of all the scam victims it recorded. According to the U.S Senate Committee on aging, scams like the grandparent scam, IRS impersonation scam, romance scam; have become popular. Even at this level of notoriety, most victims are usually unaware of it entirely or how its perpetrators commit these crimes. Being aware of the situation is a critical step towards curbing this problem. This thesis project uses User-Centered Design (UCD) to understand, conceptualize, and prototype a solution to promote social interaction while improving the cognitive abilities of seniors and creating awareness about fraud. The design requirements and direction were formed through multivariate research methods like literature review, user interviews, and focus group sessions. The proposed solution is Puppy valley, an app-mediated trivia board game that has a physical wheel and mobile application and uses narratives inspired by real fraud cases to create activities for users to play with. After the research and design, the game was evaluated by five experts, and refinements within the scope of the study were made based on the insights from the evaluation.</p>

Advance fee fraudTanfa, Denis Yomi 31 March 2006 (has links)
The focus of this thesis is on Advance Fee Fraud (419 scams) on how it is executed and more importantly, on how it can be prevented. The research addresses the origins of AFF, the nature and extent of this crime and how the perpetrators are able to defraud their victims. The research described, examined and analysed the crimes, the perpetrators, the victims, adjudication and the prevention strategies of this fraud. Information was gathered through literature and empirical research. A qualitative research method was used to gather information from AFF offenders who were incarcerated in South African prisons in 2005. The results of the empirical research were carefully examined, analyzed and integrated into the various chapters of this thesis. A theoretical framework was also developed in an attempt to explain this complex phenomenon. The findings and recommendations in terms of the crimes, the criminals, the victims, adjudication and prevention were also made and some suggestions for further research thereof were also cited. / Criminology / D.
