Abstract
Security warnings are vital to keeping users safe while interacting with the IT environment amidst a myriad of risks and threats. Despite their importance, security warnings are often ignored. One useful explanation for this behavior is the effect of habituation to security warnings. Previous researchers designed polymorphic warnings that varied the graphical designs of warning messages in a successful attempt to reduce the effect of habituation. This study examines the effect of using dynamic text within polymorphic warnings to further reduce habituation while increasing attention and compliance with warnings.
