Fear of real dangers can sometimes get out of hand. Due to the growing number of cybersecurity attacks, it has caused some people to create a condition called “hacker phobia”. Could this be a new mental health issue that has come to our attention. How can we recognize and manage it ? Let's take a closer look at this issue with you, dear Türk Hack Team members and dear administrators.
The mental toll of cybersecurity breaches
When discussing privacy violations, we usually think about the company that holds the data and the effects of a security breach on its business behavior and reputation. But behind the alarming headlines telling about millions of files leaked to unknown places, there are real people who have to face the consequences of the theft of their data due to malicious forces and irresponsible professionals. These people suffer and are concerned about both financial and emotional consequences, which include worrying about the disclosure and use of sensitive personal data against them and the violation of their most private space.
Recognızıng hacker phobıa
A study conducted in Australia last year found that the five largest fears and phobias of local people are snakes, spiders, heights, sharks, and... he found that it involved hackers (Hackers)! In addition, many participants reported that they were afraid that their actions at work would cause a data leak that would affect the organization. This fear is filled with people who are worried that their personal phone will be hacked and their private information will be passed on to the wrong people. Hacker phobia, also known as cyber insecurity, is often fueled by media and entertainment companies that promote the image of cyber warfare. This does not mean that they are wrong, but this contribution to the increase and increase in fear levels should still be noted in a corner.
Is there anything to fix?
Some may say that hacker anxiety is just plain logic. Given the frequency of data breaches, the most natural and healthy thing is to worry about damage from hackers. In a series of articles examining different types of stress, technology journalist Mike Pearl asked various security experts about the fear of being hacked and ranked the results as 4 out of 5 on the stress scale. It makes it clear and clear how real the struggle is. Although this is true, there is still a difference between staying alert and allowing fear to take over.... There are still mountains Dec difference between staying alert and letting fear take over. We are conscious and definitely worried about car accidents, should we stay off the road for this reason? Of course, no. But as someone who reads about data breach threats every day, I always Decipher between awareness and fear, and I do my best to give others the tools to protect themselves while embracing technology and the value it brings to all of us.
Self diagnosis and signs
Do you think you may be suffering from hacker phobia but you are not quite sure? Based on the recognized signs of anxiety, there are several ways to detect it;
● Extreme fear: If online interactions really scare you to the point of suspecting every email, form and link you encounter, you may want to consider looking into the details of hacker phobia and treating this anxiety.
● Avoidance: If you are trying to avoid technology and prefer not to shop online for fear of being hacked or scammed, there are many great deals (and sales!) you may miss it and you should consider talking to someone.
● Panic and boredom: Feeling stressed about using technology tools does not always indicate any phobia, and sometimes it can be part of the anxiety and frustration that some of us feel when we have to grasp new procedures and tools. However, if you are panicking when interacting with certain types of technology or think that providing any information online is rapidly increasing your blood pressure, you may need to investigate this.

Manage your fear before he manages you
First of all, let me make an important warning: You should only seek advice from professionals regarding emotional distress and mental health problems. If you feel that your fear of being attacked interferes with your ability to carry out a regular routine and enjoy life, or if you think that you may be experiencing delusions that you have been attacked, please consult a therapist. Now that we have covered this, there are also several ways to ease the situation. First, I suggest that you learn a little more about the topic in order to understand which online interactions can be dangerous and how to detect suspicious behavior. Hacker phobia is a condition in which more information can not only trigger, but also help. Secondly, use these technologies to combat your fear of online danger by adopting tools to help you manage your own data. This newfound sense of control can not only reduce the risk of your data being disclosed and used by unauthorized organizations, but also help calm the stress surrounding online actions. It's okay to worry, but the main benefit also comes when you use these primitive emotions that try to protect you, and use them to empower yourself by learning how to manage your information online. The good news for all of us is that we can let these concerns be a thing of the past, as there has never been more technology to help you protect and manage your data online.
