Security and Privacy Related Online Behavior of Experienced ICT Users
The increase in the number and variety of potential security and privacy threats puts emphasis on the behaviors of Internet users regarding their use of computer systems and the Internet. The assumptions and habits of Internet users have a great influence on the level of their online privacy and security. The identification of typical behaviors which represent a threat to online security and privacy may help in user education and design of warning systems and applications for protection from malicious software. In our survey the data were collected from 312 college students with good knowledge of information technology and with experience in the use of the Internet. The responses of the subjects revealed that most of them regularly updated their operating systems and antivirus software on their computers. However, a substantial percent of the respondents in the survey tended to perform potentially risky or careless online activities like file sharing, visits to “ untrustworthy” web pages and alike. Results indicate that, even though there are diverse factors which influence the occurrence of malware/spyware infections on personal computers, the risky and careless behaviors of Internet users could be among the main causes of security and privacy problems of experienced ICT users.
