An Empirical Investigation into How Users Make Email Response Decisions

Abstract: Despite technical and non-technical countermeasures, humans continue to be tricked by phishing emails. How users make email response decisions is a missing piece in the puzzle to identifying why people still fall for phishing emails. We conducted an empirical study using a think-aloud method to investigate how people make 'response decisions' while reading emails. The grounded theory analysis of the in-depth qualitative data has enabled us to identify different elements of email users' decision-making that influence their email response decisions. Furthermore, we developed a theoretical model that explains how people could be driven to respond to emails based on the identified elements of users' email decision-making processes and the relationships uncovered from the data. The findings provide deeper insights into phishing email susceptibility due to people's email response decision-making behavior. We also discuss the implications of our findings for designers and researchers working in anti-phishing training, education, and awareness interventions

Dear @QOTO , I'm an academic and as such I try to stay on the watch about what other academics are doing. I am generally convinced that qoto.org is an outstanding platform to do that.

Recently, I've had 3 instances of not being able to follow people on scholar.social which makes me think there's been some sort of defederation between the two instances.

Having quickly examined the local feeds of the two instances, I can imagine that there are some cultural differences between the way these instances are administered. However, from some accounts I am aware of on both instances, I believe both have positive and well intended communities.

I wonder whether there's anything I, as a user, could do to help resolve any possible issues with defederation? In general, what are the organisational mechanisms behind such collective processes? What are the possibilities for mitigation, mediation or whatever?

And last, but not least, is there a mechanism to verify my assumption that this is an issue about defederation?

@dangillmor I've been using Palemoon, basilisk, and firefox to boot. Chrome is evil period.

@dangillmor good article, but it fails to mention the biggest advantage of Firefox: it's Free/Libre software. Saying that Safari is also a nice alternative demonstrates how the author fails to understand the root cause of the problem. What do u think Safari would do if they reached 50% market share? Exactly the same than Chrome (Apple has been trying for years to be in the ad business). Firefox just CAN'T. Even if Mozilla in the future wanted to

If it's Free, there's NO product.

If anyone knows of any senior level programmers or Data Scientists looking to be hired please let me know.

Semantic Web, AI, and Java are some of the key techs. Open-source and Linux oriented experience ideally.

I will be the hiring manager if anyone has questions.

While researchers can still access some Reddit data after changes to its API last summer, rates are limited, stymying some research, and archival data is unavailable.

As Brandi Geurkink and I argue in this op-ed, Reddit has found itself in a powerful gatekeeping role. By partnering with the research community to develop a data-use policy that guarantees the ethical use of Reddit data, Reddit could give back to the public (and itself) by enabling research.

When I was a kid, global warming was hardly noticeable.
When I was studying physics in university, it was clearly happening, at almost 0.2⁰C per decade.
And now, it has accelerated further, to about 0.3⁰ per decade.

We love free software. With much thanks to the talented @SachaChua @sachac for illustrating the reasons. See sachachua.com/blog/ for emacs news and more! #FreeSoftware

I like FastAPI, and I wish there were a framework for NodeJS that worked like it does.

🌅 Good morning.

New #research from Consumer Reports offers a rare look into the scope of Meta's online surveillance.

It goes way beyond what most may expect—Meta can know many of the websites you visit and even what you’re doing IRL.

At the Computational Humanities Research conference in Paris at the end of last year, our colleagues @mapto and Sara Sullam presented their work on exploratory visual analysis of nominal data in translation history and bibliographic archives.
