老年人特别容易受到网络安全和隐私(SP)威胁的影响,例如网络钓鱼、勒索软件和有针对性的错误信息活动。以前的工作表明,这个漏洞可以通过设计社交SP界面来解决,这样一组人可以代表另一个人一起工作,共同管理SP威胁。为此,我们提出了一个定性调查的结果与老年人和技术丰富的中等收入家庭的成员在印度城市,技术用户已被证明从事相对更多的社会SP的做法。我们的研究探讨了家庭的不同成员制定的合作行为,以保护SP的威胁。特别是,我们展示了自封的家庭技术经理如何跨越管理和家长式作风之间的界限,努力保护老年人免受感知到的数字威胁。我们还提供了基于我们的分析得出的见解,支持家庭内的协作网络安全的设计影响。
Older adults are especially vulnerable to online cybersecurity and privacy (SP) threats, such as phishing, ransomware, and targeted misinformation campaigns. Prior work has suggested that this vulnerability may be addressed with the design of social SP interfaces, such that groups of individuals might work together on behalf of one another to manage SP threats collectively. To this end, we present findings from a qualitative inquiry conducted with older adults and members of technology-rich middle-income households in urban India, where technology users have been shown to engage in relatively more social SP practices. Our research examines the collaborative behaviors enacted by different members of the household for protection from SP threats. In particular, we show how self-appointed family technology managers straddle the line between stewardship and paternalism in their efforts to protect older adults from perceived digital threats. We also offer design implications for supporting collaborative cybersecurity within households based on the insights derived from our analysis.
