Abstract

People use search engines to seek information. This study investigates the motives that drive the search for information security knowledge via a search engine. We empirically examine the effects of network attacks and vulnerability disclosures on the frequency of search for information security knowledge. . We find that network attacks of current day and one day prior significantly impact the search, while vulnerability disclosure does not significantly affect the search.
