Phishers exploit human emotions like fear, urgency, or greed by creating emails or messages that convey a sense of urgency or threat. They may use fear-inducing language to make the victim believe that their account is compromised or their personal information is at risk. By evoking emotions of fear or urgency, the phisher aims to manipulate the victim into taking immediate action without verifying the legitimacy of the request. Phishers may also play on greed by offering fake rewards or opportunities that seem too good to be true, prompting the victim to disclose sensitive information or click on malicious links.
