Concern But No Action: Consumers' Reactions to the Equifax Data Breach.
CHI Extended Abstracts(2018)
摘要
Following the 2017 Equifax data breach, we conducted four preliminary interviews to investigate how consumers view credit bureaus and the information flows around these agencies, what they perceive as risks of the Equifax breach, and how they reacted in practice. We found that although participants could properly articulate the purpose of credit bureaus, their understanding of credit bureaus' data collection practices was divided and incomplete. Although most of them conceptualized identity theft as the primary risk of data breaches disclosing credit information, and noted a lack of trust/self-efficacy in controlling their data collected by credit bureaus, they did not take sufficient protective actions to deal with the perceived risks. Our findings provide implications for the design of future security-enhancing tools regarding credit data, education and public policy, with the aim to empower consumers to better manage their sensitive data and protect themselves from future data breaches.
