Abstract
Phishers and hackers exploit users’ susceptibility to deception by providing incentives. This research focuses on studying the risk-taking behavior of users in downloading software from the Internet. We proposed an experimental study to assess the degree of risks that people are willing to take for monetary gains when they download software from uncertified sources.
