How exciting is a magic trick when you already know the secret? Exactly, not very exciting. The same applies to the impact of manipulation by cybercriminals. Once you are aware of their tricks, you can critically question what is happening from the outset and remain in control of your decision-making. For this reason, the Cyberpsychology course focuses precisely on this aspect, revealing more than a few "magic tricks."
