personal data of consumers. As stated by Bursztein,
et al., (2010) freelancer is a crown sources labor
market and in this generation, around 65% of the
occupations dispatched on outworker are based on
the genuine errands. It is observed that the internet

also helps the criminals for performing security
related threats [2]. There are numbers of previous
studies that focused on the micro-economic approach
and provided numbers of defender strategies. It is
argued that malicious is a common security risk that

without their permission. Choo and Smith, (2008)
examined that macro-level method can be used for
