Phishing Attack Simulation: Measuring Susceptibility among Undergraduate Students

The Internet Users Survey 2018 statistics compiled by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has shown significant increase in the total of internet users. Out of 87.4 % internet users, 30.0% of them are in their 20' s, with the average of 8.0 hours daily internet usage. Thus, the study focuses on undergraduate students and aims to identify and measure their susceptibility to falsely trust a bogus source through phishing attack simulation, as there is a high susceptibility of them being drawn to such attacks due to high rate of internet usage.
