👉 Terror engineering refers to the deliberate and systematic use of terror tactics, psychological manipulation, and fear-based strategies by individuals or groups to instill dread, disrupt social order, and achieve political, ideological, or personal objectives. This can involve orchestrated attacks on civilians, mass hysteria campaigns, or the spread of misinformation to create panic and division. Terror engineers often exploit vulnerabilities in communication, governance, or societal structures, aiming to overwhelm and destabilize communities. Unlike traditional warfare, terror engineering focuses on psychological impact, seeking to erode trust in institutions and incite widespread fear, often with the goal of forcing concessions, drawing attention to a cause, or sowing chaos. The methods can range from physical violence and cyberattacks to propaganda and intimidation, all designed to maximize psychological harm and minimize the target's ability to respond effectively.
