Psybersecurity: A New Emerging Topic and Research Area Within Human Security, Part 2

During these current COVID-19 times of tension, stress, lockdown-driven isolation, social distancing, and economic recession, opportunities to exploit others have risen dramatically for hackers. Cybersecurity attacks are being orchestrated around individual weaknesses related to face masks, preventative care, stimulus checks, and unemployment issues [1]. Hackers' awareness of human vulnerabilities has become more apparent over the COVID outbreak through the latest cybersecurity attacks, including social engineering cases such as phishing, vishing, internet fraud, and online scams. Due to the ongoing pandemic, health has been placed at the forefront of media, and individually prompt-ed healthcare research has risen dramatically [2]. Now more than ever, people are turning to the Internet for critical healthcare information, including information about COVID and other diseases, as well as information on healthcare providers and medical professionals that influence one's healthcarerelated decision making. The independent online search for healthcare without professional intervention may result in users finding misinformation online, for example, incorrect, fabricated, or fraudulent healthcare information.
