Abstract: Security can very easily be compromised by human factors. Human fantasy, stupidity, and ignorance of security rules are often key factors that contribute to security breaches. As more advanced security technologies are developed that make it difficult to find technical failures, attackers are increasingly turning to the human factor as a central element in the information and communication infrastructure, without which computers or networks cannot function without which. The use of human weaknesses often does not require any investment and implies a minimal risk. It is precisely these circumstances that led to the emergence of Nigerian fraud and its existence in cyber space for two decades.
