Query: Effective Notification Campaigns on the Web: A Matter of Trust, Framing,
  and Support   Misconfigurations and outdated software are a major cause of compromised
websites and data leaks. Past research has proposed and evaluated sending
automated security notifications to the operators of misconfigured websites,
but encountered issues with reachability, mistrust, and a perceived lack of
importance. In this paper, we seek to understand the determinants of effective
notifications. We identify a data protection misconfiguration that affects 12.7
% of the 1.3 million websites we scanned and opens them up to legal liability.
Using a subset of 4754 websites, we conduct a multivariate randomized
controlled notification experiment, evaluating contact medium, sender, and
framing of the message. We also include a link to a public web-based
self-service tool that is run by us in disguise and conduct an anonymous survey
of the notified website owners (N=477) to understand their perspective.
  We find that framing a misconfiguration as a problem of legal compliance can
increase remediation rates, especially when the notification is sent as a
letter from a legal research group, achieving remediation rates of 76.3 %
compared to 33.9 % for emails sent by computer science researchers warning
about a privacy issue. Across all groups, 56.6 % of notified owners remediated
the issue, compared to 9.2 % in the control group. In conclusion, we present
factors that lead website owners to trust a notification, show what framing of
the notification brings them into action, and how they can be supported in
remediating the issue.
