in information security have all these while been concerned only with technical problems and efforts to improve information security have been software-centered or hardware-oriented. There have been limited attempts in addressing the people who use the computers though they are the greatest loophole in information systems security. This paper examines and addresses the threats end-users pose to systems security. Regardless of the countlessly introduced technological solutions aimed at addressing system vulnerabilities, the human factor is still of greater threat to systems security. The study draws its data from a survey conducted on people who frequently use information systems. Professional and technical inputs were also solicited from IT personnel through interviews. Four experiments were conducted to test the accuracy of the survey. A phony phish system was developed to test respondents" information security consciousness. The goal of the phony phish system was to send phishing emails that can be used to measure the accuracy of the survey. The rest of the experiments were SQL injection, cross site scripting and brute force attack. The results from the study revealed that, the numerous technical advances in information technology do not always produce more secure environments. Thus, information security cannot be described as solely a technical problem. Computers are operated by people and this means that information security is also a human factor issue. It is therefore suggested, for information and data breaches to be curbed, organizations must adopt a holistic security framework, incorporating the human factor.
