SecureConnect - Outbound Scam Interdiction - Free
Hi everyone,
I'm a PhD candidate in Cyber Defense at Dakota State University, and I'm currently recruiting adult Android users for my IRB-approved dissertation research project, SecureConnect.
SecureConnect is an Android application designed to provide an intervention when a user attempts to place an outbound call to a telephone number identified as known or suspected scam activity.
If a warning is triggered, the user has two choices: Proceed or Cancel.
The research examines how users respond to those warnings over time and whether the intervention can reduce completed calls to suspected scam numbers.
A few important details:
• Android only
• Participants must be adults
• Participation is voluntary
• No surveys or interviews
• No call audio or call content is recorded
• The participant's telephone number is not collected
• Research data comes from application telemetry associated with use of the intervention, as explained in the participant consent materials
• The study has received IRB approval
This isn't a commercial launch or paid product promotion. I'm looking for people willing to actually use the application as part of an academic research study.
