ABSTRACT
Security concepts and principles are often best understood when presented in the context of real-life situations. The process of removing malware can be a very challenging endeavor, even for the security elite. Some websites require the user to answer a security question or contact customer service to reset a password, while others may send a new password to an account’s backup email address. The Internet contains a wealth of knowledge that is easily accessible with just a few mouse clicks or keystrokes. People often have a tendency to perceive their actions on computers and particularly on the Internet differently from those for similar situations in the physical world. Many different types of online marketplaces exist on the Internet, and users can buy and sell items from them, often from the comfort of their homes. While community-based marketplaces are certainly not new, the ease and low cost of entry to engaging in online marketplaces encourage common and widespread interaction with them.
