Abstract

Aim of this research was to examine familiarity of students in Croatia with threats in form of social engineering and phishing attacks. To obtain our research data, a practical assessment of student's capabilities to identify phishing attacks against them was conducted with the help of a graphical questionnaire that presented real phishing messages that tried to identify what kind of scams or attacks were successful against students and what security topics are needed to identify and protect against phishing attempts. This paper shows the result of our work, some thoughts on phishing research and the identified features that are problematic for students' detection of phishing and social engineering attacks.
