作者:
Highlights:
• We investigate the relationship between personality, phishing effort, and success.
• Three traits are: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy (dark triad).
• Attackers high in Machiavellianism were more likely to put more phishing effort.
• High end-user narcissism was related to greater susceptibility to phishing emails.
• End-user narcissists were susceptible to emails from narcissist attackers.
