The paper present a new tool aimed at supporting visually impaired users' phishing detection, and an initial feedback study of it.

The paper "Webshop Gütesiegel - Perspektive der Nutzer" by Lukas Aldag, Anne Hennig and Melanie Volkamer was accepted for publication in the journal Datenschutz und Datensicherheit (DuD). The authors investigated what users generally look for when shopping in online stores, what understanding users have of seals of approval and how seals of approval influence purchasing behavior. The results show that although users perceive seals of approval as trust-building factors, their knowledge of seals of approval is rather abstract. It would be important for users to be informed about test criteria and their significance, for example, in order to make informed decisions.

The paper "Is Personalization Worth It? Notifying Blogs about a Privacy Issue Resulting from Poorly Implemented Consent Banners" by Theresa Kriecherbauer, Richard Schwank, Adrian Krauss, Konstantin Neureither, Lian Remme, Melanie Volkamer, and Dominik Herrmann has been accepted for publication at the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2024), which takes place from 30 July to 02 August 2024 in Vienna, Austria. The authors notified websites about the use of website trackers that are set without user consent. The results showed that a personalized approach did not lead to a higher remediation rate than a generic text.
