Understanding cybercrime: it’s all about human psychology, not just technology, as hackers exploit emotions for manipulation

In Short:
– Cybercrime exploits human emotions, not just technology, to manipulate victims effectively.
– Hackers use psychological tactics to trigger reactions based on individuals’ emotional states.
When considering cybercrime, the focus often shifts to technology and skilled hackers. The true driving force, however, lies within human psychology. Most attacks exploit human emotions rather than complicated technology. Hackers understand that heightened emotions can cloud logical judgement, allowing them to manipulate victims effectively.
Many cyber criminals view their activities as a game or challenge, often motivated by psychology rather than just financial gain. They apply behavioural science to predict how individuals will respond under stress. Our minds are predisposed to making quick decisions through psychological shortcuts, known as heuristics, which hackers exploit.Download the Ticker app
