The main objective of this paper is to probe the extent to which misinformation propagated through the different social media platforms contribute effectively in the process of directing, shaping and reshaping societal awareness of Saudis. In so doing, this paper attempts to delve into the relationship between linguistic misinformation and societal awareness, by exploring the perception of Saudis towards social media news, particularly misinformation and the extent to which this misinformation influences the social attitudes of Saudis in terms of various societal issues. Two main research questions are addressed in this study. First, to what extent does social media misinformation affect Saudis' awareness? Second, what are the linguistic manifestations of misinformation presented in the different social platforms? Two main findings have been recorded in this study: first, misinformation significantly contributes to the societal awareness of Saudis; and, second, however misinformation is linguistically manifested at the different levels of linguistic analysis, it is highly representative at the lexicalization level of language use.

This study analyzed the multi-mediating effects of information security, personal information infringement, personal experience, and information security intention in the relationship between personal information protection and information security attitude. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 221 students from G University. First, information security, personal information infringement, and information security awareness had a simple mediating effect. Second, information security, personal information infringement, personal experience, and information security consciousness had parallel multi- mediation effects. Third, personal information infringement and information security awareness had a simple mediating effect in the parallel multiple mediation state. Fourth, information security had a simple mediating effect, but it was found that there was no simple mediating effect in the parallel multiple mediation state. This study is meaningful in that it empirically compared the simple and multi-mediation effects.

The utilization of NFC has been continuously increasing due to the spread of smart phones and the development of short-range wireless communication networks. However, it has been suggested that stability and security of convenient NFC short-range wireless communications can be unstable and problematic. The unstable causes for NFC are the lack of security technologies for NFC, the controversy about personal information infringement, and the lack of social awareness on security breach against data settlement. NFC service can be conveniently used by simply touching other NFC devices and NFC tags through the NFC device. This thesis analyzes that NFC authentication technology, which is convenient for user are one of the unstable causes of security of NFC. This thesis suggest that ministry should research countermeasures and promote how users can use NFC safely. It also suggests that users should have awareness when they use payment and authentication service through NFC to prevent from security threat.

If students are not aware of the information security, they easily let others know their information or they use others' information with no sense of guilt. The information security education is necessary to protect and prevent students from cyber crime. However, South Korea's information curriculum has no specific information security education course and it has led a school or teacher to teach contents of information ethics superficially. The purpose of this paper is to find the factors affecting the information security practice of the elementary school students. For an empirical analysis, questionnaire survey was conducted and the Partial Least Square(PLS) was used to analyze the research model. The analysis results show that the information ethics awareness and the information security awareness have a positive impact on the information security practice. The results of this study are expected to help choose the specific information security curriculum required for the information security practice of elementary school students.

In this study, we surveyed the public awareness about cyber security. Through the survey, we found the awareness for cyber threats that are easily exposed to the public, the one is felt anxiety by the people, and harmful contents in the online. As a result, we analyzed the various cyber threats, and found the internet usage environments, thoughts on unhealthy contents, person in charge of prevention and its methods. The results of the study can be considered as the bases of the extracting requirements for designing convergence research items in the cyber security, and they also suggested its utilization.

In spite of the R&D level of Korea, the efforts to protect the R&D results from outflowing has not been raised up. We investigated the current status of security education and the level of researcher's awareness for research security in the government-financed institutes. Also, we attempted to find out the needs for institutionalization of the security education. We conducted a survey and in-depth interviews of all the security officers in the thirty-seven government-financed institutes. The results show that the awareness level of the researchers for R&D security is below adequate level, and that security education is necessary in order to increase the security awareness. Also, it is necessary to institutionalize the security education.

As the numbers of various cyber-crimes have sharply increased, the importance of securing information has also been emphasized. Despite the government's constant efforts to solve the issue, they hardly work in practice, and cases related to information security are still on the rise. This study investigates the reasons for the discrepancy that occurs when a solution is put to action. The research analyzes the recent shift in the administrative system with regard to information security and officials' awareness of the shift, focusing on members of local government. The results of the study confirm a steady attempt including changes in institutions at the level of the central government. However, there is still a lack of personnel and budget support at the local government level as well as not much change in the awareness of information security.

For the last two decades, there has been much research on computer abuse from the perspective of the general deterrence theory based on objectism, which covers security policy, security awareness programs, and physical security system. The traditional view offered by the general deterrence theory indicates that security policy, security awareness, and security system play a major role in preventing computer abuse. In spite of continuous organizational efforts and investments based on these systematic factors, the incidence of computer abuse in organizations is still rapidly increasing. This paper proposes another perspective-the social control theory based on subjectism-in preventing computer abuse. According to the social control theory, organizational trust, which comprises organizational attachment, commitment, involvement and norms, can prevent computer abuse by reducing insider's computer abuse. The aim of this article is to assess the role of organizational trust come from attachment, commitment, involvement, norms in preventing computer abuse. The results indicate that both organizational trust and deterrent factors are effective in preventing computer abuse.
