Abstract

Social media platforms have become breeding grounds for abusive comments, necessitating the use of machine learning to detect harmful content. This study aims to predict abusive comments within a Mauritian context, focusing specifically on comments written in Mauritian Kreol, a language with limited natural language processing tools. The objective was to build and evaluate four machine learning models—Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—to accurately classify comments as abusive or non-abusive. The models were trained and tested using k-fold cross-validation, and the Decision Tree model outperformed others with 100% precision and recall, while Random Forest followed with 99% accuracy. Naïve Bayes and SVM, although achieving 100% precision, had lower recall rates of 35% and 16%, respectively, due to imbalanced data in the training set. Pre-processing steps, including stop-word removal and a custom Kreol spell checker, were key in enhancing model performance. The study provides a novel contribution by applying machine learning in a Mauritian context, demonstrating the potential of AI in detecting abusive language in underrepresented languages. Despite limitations such as the absence of a Kreol lemmatization tool and incomplete coverage of Kreol spelling variations, the models show promise for wider application in social media crime detection. Future research could explore expanding this approach to other languages and domains of social media crimes.

Abstract

In today's digital age, cybercrime is increasing at an alarming rate, and it has become more critical than ever for organizations to prioritize adopting best practices in cyber hygiene to safeguard their personnel and resources from cyberattacks. As personal hygiene keeps one clean and healthy, cyber hygiene combines behaviors to enhance data privacy. This paper aims to explore the common cyber-attacks currently faced by organizations and how the different practices associated with good cyber hygiene can be used to mitigate those attacks. This paper also emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt good cyber hygiene techniques and, therefore, provides the top 10 effective cyber hygiene measures for organizations seeking to enhance their cybersecurity posture. To better evaluate the cyber hygiene techniques, a systematic literature approach was used, assessing the different models of cyber hygiene, thus distinguishing between good and bad cyber hygiene techniques and what are the cyber-attacks associated with bad cyber hygiene that can eventually affect any organization. Based on the case study and surveys done by the researchers, it has been deduced that good cyber hygiene techniques bring positive behavior among employees, thus contributing to a more secure organization. More importantly, it is the responsibility of both the organization and the employees to practice good cyber hygiene techniques. Suppose organizations fail to enforce good cyber hygiene techniques, such as a lack of security awareness programs. In that case, employees may have the misconception that it is not their responsibility to contribute to their security and that of the organization, which consequently opens doors to various cyber-attacks. There have not been many research papers on cyber hygiene, particularly when it comes to its application in the workplace, which is a fundamental aspect of our everyday life. This paper focuses on the cyber hygiene techniques that any small to larger organization should consider. It also highlights the existing challenges associated with the implementation of good cyber hygiene techniques and offers potential solutions to address them.
