- Abstract
Vulnerabilities of online social network (OSN) users constantly pose different problems and questions. Among those issues are measuring and analyzing the type and size of existing users’ vulnerabilities in different cultures. This measure requires the evaluation of OSN user behaviors used in serious threats and attacks and their alignment with major policies. In this work, behaviors of OSN users have been collected to cover user activities in social media websites on their Internet-connected devices. The methodology of this work proposes categorizing the behavior of OSN users by using two phases, namely, analyzing the approach based on Shamir’s theory for computing the user’s vulnerability rate and k-mean clustering technique for user categorization. This approach discusses the relation between the user’s vulnerability and attack policies. As the analysis considers data from two different countries, the probability of targeting an area with specific attacks can be clearly identified. Finally, the low or high rates of vulnerabilities of OSN users in these two countries are analyzed and discussed.
