Abstrakt: Social engineering attacks are increasing over the years along with the growth in Internet users. Our study aims to find ways to improve users’ protection against these attacks. Finding a suitable way to enhance users’ detection will have the impact of reducing the number of victims. Our study uses quantitative methods including experiment (role play) and a questionnaire to collect data. The findings suggest that raising users’ intention to validate the authenticity of received messages will increase their ability to make a robust decision about deceptive messages. The detection rate significantly increased when users have been alerted about social engineering attacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
