👉 The panic weapon, also known as the "panic button" or "alarm," is a psychological tool designed to induce fear and panic in individuals or groups, often used in social engineering attacks. It typically involves a loud, sudden sound or flashing light that triggers an immediate and exaggerated response of fear, confusion, or anxiety. This reaction can lead to irrational behavior, such as fleeing a location, making hasty decisions, or disabling security measures. By exploiting the human tendency to react strongly to perceived threats, attackers aim to gain unauthorized access or cause disruption.
