“…While teenagers (13-16 years in this study) have access to all that the Internet has to offer (DQ-Institute, 2018;Tsirtsis, Tsapatsoulis, Stamatelatos, Papadamou, & Sirivianos, 2016), most children have been exposed to some form of cyber threat (DQ-Institute, 2018). In 2018, the DQ-Institute surveyed more than 80,000 children exploring the extent of their exposure to cyber risk.…”

What drives teenagers to comply with computer password guidelines? Using an extended form of protection motivation theory (PMT) (Rogers, 1983), we found that even if teenage computer users believe they are susceptible to being hacked, or that being hacked would be detrimental, it has no bearing on their password choices. Other motives outside of PMT also drive teenage security behaviour. Personal norms fully mediate the relationship between the perceived severity of threat and compliance intentions such that perceived severity is not sufficient to encourage compliance. Teenagers must actually feel obligated to comply. While personal norms may encourage compliance, concerns about feeling embarrassed or ashamed if their social media accounts are hacked into actually encourages compliance. On the other hand, peer influence, such as the fear of being teased about someone hacking into their account, discourages compliance. Our study contributes to understanding early security practices and highlights potential differences between adult and teenage behaviours to consider in future studies. For example, our findings suggest that password security guidelines alone will not suffice to ensure teenage compliance; they may need enforced password rules at the authentication level to eliminate any opportunity to violate password rules. Our study will benefit children and parents as well as organizations that have changed work practices to enable employees to work from home, but which places children in danger of clicking on malicious links on their parents’ computers. To our knowledge, this is the first password security study that applies PMT to examine computer-based security behaviours in teenagers.

Children spend numerous hours on the Internet daily. While online, they meet a great number of opportunities as well as risks. Of these risks, cyber bullying and privacy violations are of major concern, in addition to exploitation and child pornography. Our hypothesis is that the solution is not to keep children and teens away from the Internet, but to ensure that young citizens are empowered with the necessary knowledge and skill set to become critical consumers and creators of new secure and sustainable digital services and products. Our objective is to develop a knowledge and skill set base and offer learning through playful solutions for empowering children and young people with creative and critical digital skills, in an engaging and motivating way. The aim is to build on the method and lessons learns of Kodeløypa, one of the scientific offerings for children at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and the related scientific efforts made to empower a new generation of online users to avoid risks in the modern digital society. The project, SikkerhetsLøypa, is highly inter-disciplinary and spans across the fields of information security, user experience, software engineering, and computer science education. The scientific results of this project aims at strengthen education methods and practices in secure and privacy-aware behavior in the digital world.

“…The need to detect and measure cyberbullying and cyberaggression is prominent even with a simple look on the numbers of cyberbullying behavior in teenagers: 15% of high school students in grades 9-12 were electronically bullied in the past year, 9% of students in grades 6-12 experienced cyberbullying and rest of them they were passive viewers of bullying in their school 7 [3]. In the cyberspace, is very hard to detect or measure bullying or aggression.…”

This literature review focuses on recent techniques and studies regarding cyberbullying on Twitter. The purpose of these studies is to find smart and sophisticated ways and methods to detect these cyberbullying incidents and in case that it is not possible to fully eliminate them to provide the means to vastly reduce them. We present the theoretical roots of the term cyberbullying and we discuss thoroughly some influential studies to motivate new researchers that work in the general area of cybersecurity and privacy.
