Abstract

This research aims to examine the level of risky behaviors associated with online financial transactions, to study the relationship between personal factors and the level of risky behaviors, and to explore guidelines on the prevention of online financial transaction crime. The sample group of study included 400 Srinakharinwirot University students, who were asked to answer the questions via an online questionnaire. In addition, the data were collected from 10 people using in-depth interviews. The statistical techniques employed to analyze the data included t-test, F-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient at a statistically significant level of 0.05.The results of the research showed that the respondents exhibited low risk of being the victim of online banking crime. For the hypothetical testing, it was found that students who were different in age and school year had a significant difference of risky behaviors regarding online banking crimes at the significant level of 0.05. Moreover, the level of obtaining information about cybercrime including the perceived value of information, safety knowledge, and perceptions of threats, were significantly corelated with risk behaviors regarding online banking crimes. Some important suggestions include informing people more about risks of becoming a victim of online banking crimes and self-prevention guidelines by paying attention to and updating information about computer security, particularly students who are under 18 years old.
