Item Restricted DOES REGISTERING ON WEBSITE EXPOSE INDIVIDUAL TO INCREASE SPAM EMAIL?(Tuskegee University, 2021-07-21) Almutairi, Alhanouf Saad; Kahai, ParamjitDoes Registering on Websites Expose Individuals to Increased Spamming? Spam has become a major challenge worldwide, so determining what might impact its amount might help reduce it. This thesis, an exploratory study, examines the relationship between registering on websites and its impact on the receipt of spam email. That is, the research attempts to determine if the more users register on websites, sometimes indiscriminately, the more spam they receive. A computer-based survey was constructed and distributed to faculty members at Tuskegee University. Overall, the analyses of data indicated a positive relationship between registering on websites and the quantity of spam received. Additional research is needed, though, to determine the strength of the relationship between the two. Future research could also help to determine other factors that might impact the receipt of spam.23 0
