Usage of weak passwords for authentication within an organization can be exploited during cyberattacks leading to unauthorized account access, denial of service, data and identity theft, sabotage etc. Such attacks could bring financial and reputational losses apart from legal consequences. Organizational password policies came into being in an attempt to encourage users to create more complex and diverse passwords. However, it has been observed that people show similar behavior in adopting those policies and end up creating passwords with similar patterns. Security training has been found to be a popular mechanism in an enterprise setting, of which, game-based trainings have shown positive impact with an added advantage of being immersive. In this paper, we present a serious game-based training on creating password security awareness among enterprise users. The training involves promoting understanding among users about various common password heuristics during password creation. Th...

User Names in the Gaming Community Playforia2013 •
The article examines registered personal names in online communities. The term user name is used when referring to these names. The research data consists of 279 user names collected from Playforia, a Finnish online gaming community. The main research subject is the structure of user names. In the article, it is suggested that user names can be divided into two functionally different parts. The identifying part is the foundation of user name, usually its lingual part. A user name must be unique in the community it is registered to. Therefore, there is also a supplementary part in many names which sets the name apart from other user names with the same identifying part. For example, the identifying part in the name someone44914 is someone and the supplementary part is 44914. The article also covers the capitalization of user names. All proper names are capitalised in standard written language, but capitalization is voluntary in user names. Only 60% of the user names in the data are capitalised, which makes the future of this orthographic rule uncertain. Thirdly, the article examines the features of good user names. Researching good names in general is an important theme for socio-onomastics. Consequently, research methodology and collecting data is discussed in the article.

Databases are increasingly breached and social engineering is employed to obtain usernames and passwords for online fraud, therefore, there is a need to secure existing passwords, and to create ones that will be more crack-resistant. This study addresses the issue of personal data, which users enter on social networks, and incorporate in passwords, as well as how tracking and identifying this data assists hackers in cracking these passwords. The study focuses on Facebook, conducting an online anonymous questionnaire among 195 respondents, and an experiment among a voluntary response sample of 72 participants, in which passwords were tried to been deciphered by a custom dictionary attack. The findings confirm a link between the use of accessible online personal data and success rates of password deciphering. The findings underscore the grave threa...
