We develop a serious game to raise awareness about phishing attacks and help people avoid these threats in a risk-free learning environment. This game targets three types of phishing-clone phishing, SMS phishing, and spear phishing-and uses a Large Language Model to generate dialogues and questions dynamically. It also incorporates state randomization and time-limited challenges to enhance the gameplay. We evaluated two groups of participants and found that those who played the game showed, on average, a 24% increase in awareness and a 30% boost in confidence.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.12077v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12077v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"phishing-awareness-via-game-based-learning","repo_url":"https://github.com/ahmed-ghaleb-2022/phishing-awareness","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
