Repeat Clickers, I Understand You

Is the problem really “between the chair and the keyboard”? This overused phrase, while catchy, is actually quite insulting. After all, we all spend so much time between the chair and the keyboard that anyone can make a mistake at some point.

That said, some users seem to challenge all logic and understanding.

Let me introduce you to the repeat clickers.

What is a Repeat Clicker?

A repeat clicker—also called a “top clicker” or “serial clicker”—is a user whose behavior defies logic. This is the person who loves receiving messages. The one who feels an absolute duty to open and interact with every email, SMS, or QR code they encounter.

Repeat clickers know they shouldn’t click. But they click anyway.*

Is Being a Repeat Clicker a Problem?

Being curious, energetic, and polite isn’t inherently bad—it’s even admirable in some areas of life. But when faced with a pile of emails, SMS, or QR codes, it becomes risky. Repeat clickers are the yes-men and women of the digital world.

Fearless, they click.

Can You Be Diagnosed as a Repeat Clicker?

Email security solutions can identify repeat clickers. Using algorithms similar to those employed in online retail to detect compulsive buyers, these tools can pinpoint users who fall into phishing traps with nearly 100% accuracy.

Repeat clickers are easy to spot. They know it too, but… they still click.

Can You Overcome Repeat Clicking Addiction?

Until recently, there was no known solution to help repeat clickers. From electrifying the “Enter” key to blaring alarms, summoning the CISO for a scolding, or even placing users under the supervision of AI—nothing worked.

That was until Cyber Investigation created a personalized training path that helps users visualize the consequences of each and every click.
