Lending a Hand: The Effectiveness of Support Systems in Assisting Users to Detect Phishing Attacks

We investigate the effectiveness of anti-phishing support systems through a quantitative study involving 453 participants. To this end, we developed a tool that allows participants to immerse themselves in a realistic setting, tasked with classifying emails as either phishing or legitimate, while being assisted by sup…
