The grant aims to study how language and linguistic features impact refugee populations' perceptions and responses to social engineering threats like phishing and vishing attacks. Key deliverables will include preliminary results on the effect of refugees' linguistic traits on susceptibility to real-world attacks, open-access datasets of phishing emails and voice calls to promote further research, recommendations to improve cybersecurity policies for vulnerable groups, and new STEM education materials for refugees. Follow-up educational workshops will disseminate materials and discuss relevant cybersecurity topics.

The research seeks to develop novel approaches and resources to counter social engineering threats targeting refugees through improved protection models, informed policies, and tailored digital literacy programs. Findings could enhance refugee integration and social/economic security by reducing inequity gaps regarding awareness of cyber risks.
