Psychology of Phishing Attacks During Crises: The Case of Covid-19 Pandemic
Kaliňák, Viliam ; Erkomashvili, David (advisor) ; Špelda, Petr (referee)
Events and circumstances that accompany crises such as losses of loved ones, losses of material resources, dislocation, or physical harm, have an overall negative impact on people's mental health. It is this impaired state of man which makes him vulnerable to manipulation of social engineers who wants to take advantage of him in order to enrich themselves. This was also the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, the unprecedented crisis in modern history, during which phishing and fraud campaigns rapidly increased as people have been forced to stay safe at home and spent most of a day online. This work analyzes the psychological strategies of cybercriminals on a sample of more than 200 phishing e-mails in order to understand how the situation was abused and what can be learnt to prevent it in the future. It also provides theoretical and research frameworks for researchers who can apply it also on other types of crises. The results contribute to the fields of psychology, cybercrime as well as crisis management. Keywords COVID-19, phishing, social engineering, psychology, persuasion, crises, pandemic, impersonation, pretexting

Analysis of the causes and consequences of five crises of the european integration process in the context of economic and political development after Maastricht Treaty
Ševčíková, Michaela ; Loužek, Marek (advisor) ; Daňhel, Jaroslav (referee) ; Zahradník, Petr (referee) ; Strejček, Ivo (referee)
This paper analyses the essential aspects, causes and consequences of contemporary European integration process and examines the performance of individual EU countries. The analysis is done through the view of five crises: first the political and institutional; second the public finance, respectively the debt; third the different quality and competitiveness of single economies; fourth the banking, financial, respectively economic; and fifth the view, which focuses on the psychological aspect of trust. Substantial measures proposed or implemented by the EU institutions are subjects of analysis (European bonds; tax on financial transactions, banking union, fiscal pact and bail-out fund), including their critical evaluation, especially activist policy of the European Central Bank. Summary is contained in the SWOT analysis. This work also proposes recommendation for further development in the Czech Republic. The research section made by testing selected variables among 2003-2012 based on the method Beta convergence confirmed, that instead of theoretical assumption of faster real convergence of EU countries, the divergence between the core and periphery countries took place in the examined period. Beta convergence is confirmed within the designated groups in the new EU member states in the pre-crisis growth and in the overall monitored period. The second method -- the cluster analysis created groups, respectively clusters of countries that are the most similar based on selected indicators. On the one hand, the repeated grouping of core countries into one common cluster was verified with different options of the model. On the other hand, the used Ward's method showed, among others, that in majority of observed periods the countries commonly categorized into periphery groups (such as Italy and Ireland) have greater economic similarities to the core countries rather than countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece.

The Bachelor thesis on "Social, economic and socio-cultural aspects of CouchSurfing phenomenon" is dedicated to the contemporary trends in tourism and refers especially to the young generation and its current needs in context of travelling. These trends are considered as quite similar to the phenomenon called CouchSurfing, the biggest social network connecting travellers from all around the world, and everything this phenomenon represents. The primary aim of this work is not by any means a comprehensive description of CouchSurfing itself, but an effort to place that phenomenon into a proper context of all social, economic or socio-cultural aspects of the project (mainly focusing on questions why was CouchSurfing established and what it actually brings or influences).
