Typology of spam email written in Czech language
Vejda, Prokop ; Mňuková, Dominika (advisor) ; Podzimek, Jan (referee)
The presented thesis proposes a new typology system for Czech-language email spam. Its categorization is based primarily on the persuasive method used. Particular factors relevant for the classification are derived from subsurface observations via the method of semiotic analysis. The multi-layered typology differentiates between spam sales and imitation spam, between identity-imitating and situation-imitating spam. Another layer of categorization identifies the area of incentive for the desired action. The areas are finance, health, sexuality, and consumption. Ideological spam is recognized as a separate category. The typology derives validity from its application to a sample of Czech spam emails originating between January and April 2023. The method used is quantitative content analysis, which allowed the observed characteristics to be presented in a statistical context. Furthermore, it made it possible to elementarily map the nature of spam appearing in the email inboxes of Czech-speaking recipients at the beginning of 2023. The research is based upon a survey of existing typological systems and cases of the application of semiotic analysis to email spam. Theoretical research pillars are the concepts of the social role, speech acts, mythology, and uncertainty of meanings in communication. The...

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.

Phishing Detection in Web Pages
Beňo, Marek ; Hrivňák, Ján (referee) ; Holkovič, Martin (advisor)
This work deals with the design of a phishing attack detection and classification tool. The work describes techniques and forms of phishing attacks and availible tools and techniques for phishing detection. Based on the analysis of existing tools a solution for file classification is proposed. Implemented tool handles input parsing and creation of input model. Model is based on hybrid analysis of input file and URL. Using the YARA tool, YARA rules are applied which are then used in creation of input classification. Analysis of input model and definition of classification rules is enabled by implemented YARA module. Implemented solution makes it possible to define YARA rules for phishing classification based on the structural properties of a phishing file and features of source URL.
