The Relationship of the Study to the Social Sciences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason this topic relates to the social sciences is that it focuses on scams, digital
identity, and cyber victimization, which require an understanding of the human aspect to
comprehend why they occur. The analysis in the article focuses on four studies that investigate
cybercrime, governance, and digital threats to society (Kayser, C. S., Dearden, T., Parti, K., &
Choi, S., 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This article’s research question addresses the \u201cnecessity of a multidisciplinary approach
to address modern digital threats, bridging technical forensics, legal theory, and empirical
research\u201d (Kayser et al, 2025, p.1). The hypothesis proposes that more knowledge of the
Changing the space of cybercrime is paramount to understanding these new and complex threats
(Kayser et al, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The independent variable (IV) is to understand what actions we can take to lower the risk
of harm in the cyber environment. The dependent variable (DV) is the safety and rights of online
users. In other words, the harm that was caused by actions we had done in the cyber
environment (Kayser, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Article Analysis<\/strong>
In the first study, Lim & Choi (2025) used a technical analysis to understand blockchain.
(a virtual database), where scammers use cryptocurrencies to scam people out of money.
Because of this, there is no tracking for the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The second study (Kayser et al. 2025) quoted (Gonz\u00e1lez-Garc\u00eda Vi\u00f1uela, 2025) to
identify the legal side of analysis, \u201clooking at the invasion of digital identity on a criminal law side, with a focus on what is happening in Spain,\u201d (p.1) But it also focuses on the impact of a
unified response around the world when it comes to cybercrimes (Kayser et al. 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The third study is an analysis of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). \u201cWhich
found that users and other people were having potential problems, privacy problems, and bad use
and collection of data on BellingCat, which is an OSINT website\u201d (Pitman & Walsh, 2025). The
Data spanned from 2014 to 2024, during which time people experienced problems in the regions
of the United States and Russia (Kayser et al. 2025). The people pushed for better legislation to
protect OSINT websites and forums, aiming to keep users safe on these platforms (Kayser et al.
2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The final study uses the analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data, which looks
into the Deviant Place Theory, \u201cwhich says that people in a high-risk environment may have a
high risk of victimization, even if personal behaviors are not a problem\u201d (Grant & Gilreath,
2025). In this study, researchers recruited 924 internet users from Nigeria to assess whether they
could modify categories of cyber offenses (Kayser et al. 2025). They reclassified cyber misuse as
something encouraged by technology, and not by the need for technology to understand the
connection between them (Kayser et al. 2025). The authors studied the connection between
violent crime and property crime (Grant & Gilreath, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The study showed that the theory was accurate and that victimization rates are high in
this context for cybercrime (Kayser et al. 2025). The study also found that \u201cthere should be more
diligence for policymakers to reduce the cybervictimization here, and that more study and
research needs to be conducted in the region on the problem\u201d (Kayser et al. 2025, p.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relationship to PowerPoint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Concepts from the CYSE201 (Module) PowerPoint include victimization and aspects of
the Big Five personality traits. The first case involves blockchain and scammers. Scammers learn
to use tricks to trick users into giving them their money through the use of the Big Five
personality traits. The Big Five personality traits that scammers commonly exhibit here are
agreeableness, extraversion, and openness to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Openness to experience is an individual who is willing to take risks, such as engaging in
activities that can put them at risk. They also tend to show agreeableness, sharing information
with scammers, and making themselves more vulnerable. They are also extraversion, which is
talking to new or more people than they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The goals of the article are to help marginalized groups<\/strong>
The topic relates to the challenges, concerns, and contributions of marginalized groups.
This article explores an understudied area in the world, with a focus on Nigeria and its
challenges related to cybercrime victimization (Kayser et al. 2025). And the lack of studies and
policymakers in this area of cybercrime victimization (Kayser et al. 2025). The study’s overall
contributions to society are that it addresses problems faced by marginalized groups in the cyber
environment. It would be much better if we were more united on laws regarding cyber offenses,
rather than having every place have its own rules that don\u2019t communicate with each other about
the laws (Kayser et al. 2025). It also discussed open-source intelligence, a significant trend
enabled by the internet. And what data, privacy, and risk are shared for a big or a bad thing
(Kayser et al. 2025). And what skills scammers use to earn the trust of people so that they can
get their money, and what money the scammers are most likely to want (Kayser, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion
<\/strong>In conclusion, this is an excellent article. It has some excellent points that will be
significant in the future, as well as a few that are significant now. People need to understand the
motives, theories, and principles regarding victims and professionals of cybersecurity because,
for now, t<\/strong>hey will not go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
