This seems like a routine university PR release about a routine grant to do a routine psychology study about how people process things like phishing attempts. They don't even have results yet.
Sure, it is good that we're funding that work. Some people have better BS alarms than others, this is a classic area of study, but it is always good to know more. But it seems wrapped up in a new buzzword to get funding and attention: "cognitive security", which the PI says "was pioneered in my lab". My BS alarm is going off, which wasn't helped by the fact that this hit #2 on the front page with no comments 30 minutes after submission.
