DECODING THE DECEPTION: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF CYBER SCAM VULNERABILITY FACTORS
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applied Data Science (JISADS) - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted factors influencing susceptibility to cyber scams. This study delves into the complexities surrounding individuals' susceptibility to cyber scams, integrating psychological, behavioral, technical, and environmental perspectives to offer a nuanced understanding of digital deception vulnerabilities. It highlights the exploitation of cognitive biases and emotional vulnerabilities by scammers, discusses the impact of habitual online behaviors and security fatigue, and addresses the challenges posed by the rapid evolution of cyber threats. Additionally, it explores societal and cultural influences on scam susceptibility. Proposing an integrated prevention framework, this research emphasizes a multifaceted approach encompassing education, technological solutions, policy development, and psychological interventions to mitigate the risks and impacts of cyber scams. Our investigation into cyber scam susceptibility unravels the intricate interplay of psychological, behavioral, technical, and environmental factors shaping individuals' vulnerabilities. It reveals that susceptibility is not solely the product of individual ignorance or oversight but results from a complex mesh of human psychology, habitual behaviors, technological advancements, and socio-cultural influences. The proposed comprehensive framework for combating cyber scams underscores the necessity for a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that combines educational initiatives, policy reforms, technological advancements, and psychological support. Future research should aim at refining this framework, focusing on the dynamic and evolving nature of cyber scams to devise effective, adaptive strategies for prevention and intervention, ensuring a safer digital landscape for users worldwide.
