“…(2020) developed another tool to measure cybercrime awareness level of high school students in Philippines and validated the tool in a sample of 200 students. The tool consists of 18 items and it has a four-factor structure named as “awareness on phishing, awareness on spamming, perceived effectiveness of antivirus software, and bullying on the web.” The tool includes general statements such as “I know some of the cyber laws; I protect myself from cybercrime; I think that antiviruses are enough to protect me from a cybercrime; I trust any website that asks me to enter my bank account detail.” Similarly, Tibi et al. (2019) developed a tool to measure cybercrime awareness level and validated this tool in a sample of 73 Arab college students.…”

PurposeCybercrimes increase day by day in parallel to cyber-attacks and cyber-threats. Due to such an increase, required cybersecurity precautions against all kinds of cyber-attacks and cyber-threats should be taken by both organizations and individuals. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool to measure cybercrime awareness levels of individuals.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a scale named as Cybercrime Awareness Scale (CAS) has been developed and psychometric properties of the scale have been tested by two separate studies.FindingsThe first study included a total of 500 respondents (294 female and 206 male). In the first study, factor structure of the proposed scale has been determined through an exploratory factor analysis. The results revealed a three-factor structure (i.e. information systems crimes, personal data crimes, and privacy and security). Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients for the subdimensions were 0.95, 0.92, and 0.90, respectively. The sample of the second study consisted of 494 respondents (281 female and 213 male). The confirmatory-factor-analysis results revealed that three-factor structure is valid and optimal model. Further, the proposed scale demonstrated moderate concurrent validity results in relation to the Digital Data Security Awareness Scale.Originality/valueFindings indicated that the CAS is a valid and reliable measurement tool to measure individuals' cybercrime awareness level. This study makes a novel contribution to the existing cybersecurity literature by providing the CAS, which is developed by following rigorous methodological standards.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-01-2022-0023/

“…The socio-demographic, lecturers' Internet usage profile, and their cybersecurity awareness sections were part of it. The five Likert-scale questions, which were used to collect lecturers' Internet usage data and their cybersecurity awareness, were adopted from [6]. The questionnaires were categorized into socio-demographic items, lecturers' Internet usage profile with five questions, cybersecurity awareness containing fourteen questions, cybersecurity protection measure questions being six, and statehood of cyber-crime victimization questions two problems.…”

The advancement of information communication technology has triggered a revolution in using the Internet for legitimate educational purposes on university campuses. Therefore, the Internet has changed the way of human communication and contributed to the development of mankind. On the other hand it is regrettable that its revolution has helped malicious users to exploit it for the malign purpose to commit a cyberspace crime that has in turn negatively affected fellow users who were preyed on by cyber predators. This work aimed to examine the awareness of cybersecurity, the measures taken to protect against cyberattacks and the state of victimization among professors at Ambo University. Thus, the present study comes up with the following findings. First, the result shows that the respondents’ cybersecurity awareness was significantly influenced by cyber-crime victimization, fields of study, and protection measures. Second, the current study also depicts that the respondents’ protection measures were connected to and influenced by cyber-crime victimization, education level, and cyber-security awareness. Finally, the study’s findings show that being a cyber-crime victim has been linked to predictors’ variables: protection measures and the level of cybersecurity awareness.
