摘要

信息和通信技术(ICT)使用的增加意味着在网络上收集和传播私人和机密信息的数量大幅增加。许多此类系统的设计和实施几乎没有考虑到安全和隐私问题,因此,身份盗窃等网络犯罪正在迅速增长。身份盗窃是欺诈者利用这些系统的主要方式之一。本文的重点是消费者意识的保护措施,他们可以采取防止身份盗窃。本研究采用了一种探索性的方法来测量来自不同学科和年龄群的本科生的自我报告行为。研究结果与乔治·r·m·米尔恩2001年对大学生进行的一项类似研究进行了比较。在某些情况下,美国人比爱尔兰人对这些问题有更广泛的认识,而在其他情况下,爱尔兰人的得分更高。然而,有一点是明确的,那就是消费者没有遵循一些良好的预防措施(行为)。进一步的消费者教育是必要的。基于这些发现,提出了提高消费者意识的建议,并对未来的研究提出了建议。

Identity theft and privacy – consumer awareness in Ireland
The increased use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has meant that there is a vast increase in the collection and dissemination of private and confidential information on the web. Many of these systems have been designed and implemented with little regard for security and privacy issues and as a result, cyber crimes such as identity theft have been growing rapidly. Identity theft is one of the primary ways that fraudsters can take advantage of these systems. This paper focuses on consumer awareness of the protective measures they can take to prevent identity theft. The study uses an exploratory approach of measuring the self-reported behaviour of undergraduate students from different disciplines and age cohorts. The results are compared with a similar study of undergraduate students carried out in 2001 by George R.M Milne. In some instances, the US cohort indicated a more extensive awareness of the issues than the Irish cohort and in other instances the Irish cohort scored higher. What is clear, however, is that there are good practice preventative measures (behaviour) that consumers are not following. Further consumer education is needed. Based on these findings, suggestions are made for improving consumer awareness and future research is recommended.
