Abstract:S to raziskavo je bil cilj opozoriti na nove taktike socialnega inženiringa, ki vključujejo izkoriščanje čustvene reakcije na čustvenčke (ang. emojis). Prav tako je bil cilj tudi pojasniti, zakaj je kritična ocena elektronskih sporočil vedno bolj pomembna. Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na raziskovanje vpliva psiholoških dejavnikov, kot so čustvena inteligenca in psihološke ranljivosti, na dovzetnost posameznikov za socialni inženiring, predvsem v okviru kibernetskih napadov, kot sta phishing in smishing. Socialni inženiring temelji na izkoriščanju človeških šibkosti in želja, pri čemer napadalci z manipulativnimi tehnikami pridobivajo osebne podatke ali dostop do sistemov. V zadnjem času so zlorabe še bolj prefinjene, saj se poleg tradicionalnih tehnik vedno bolj uporabljajo čustveni dražljaji, kot so čustvenčki (emojis), ki dajejo napadom bolj prijazen in zaupanja vreden videz. Rezultati raziskave kažejo na to, kako čustvenčki vplivajo na zaznano varnost in pripravljenost prejemnikov na sodelovanje, kar lahko zmanjša njihovo previdnost pri sprejemanju odločitev v digitalnem okolju. Empirični del diplomskega dela vključuje eksperiment s spletno anketo, ki preučuje vpliv čustvenčkov v zlonamernih sporočilih na vedenje prejemnikov ter preizkuša, ali uporaba teh simbolov povečuje verjetnost, da bodo prejemniki sledili navodilom napadalcev. Ugotovitve kažejo, da lahko čustvenčki pri prejemnikih vzbujajo zaupanje, zaradi česar se povečajo možnosti, da se bodo odzvali na zlonamerna sporočila.

Title:The impact of emoticons on susceptibility to malicious messages
Abstract:The aim of this research was to highlight new social engineering tactics involving the exploitation of emojis, and to explain why critical evaluation of emails is increasingly important. The focus of the thesis is to explore the impact of psychological factors such as emotional intelligence and psychological vulnerabilities on individuals' susceptibility to social engineering, especially in the context of cyber-attacks such as phishing and smishing. Social engineering is based on the exploitation of human weaknesses and desires, whereby attackers use manipulative techniques to gain personal information or access to systems. More recently, abuse has become even more sophisticated, with the increasing use of emotional stimuli such as emojis alongside traditional techniques to give attacks a more friendly and trustworthy appearance. The results of the research show how emojis affect the perceived safety and willingness to engage of recipients, which may reduce their caution when making decisions in the digital environment. The empirical part of the thesis includes an online survey experiment that examines the impact of emoticons in malicious messages on recipients' behaviour and tests whether the use of these symbols increases the likelihood that recipients will follow the instructions of attackers. The findings show that emoticons can instil trust in recipients, increasing the chances that they will respond to malicious messages.
