Assoc. Prof. Tran Thanh Nam, Vice President of the University of Education at Vietnam National University, explained: “Living in an age of information overload creates cognitive blind spots. These gaps in perception make young people especially easy targets.” According to him, several psychological patterns contribute to this vulnerability: A rush for speed, driven by FOMO (fear of missing out), leads to poor emotional control and risk judgment. Herd mentality causes people to believe false evidence just because others do. Lack of critical thinking, digital financial literacy, and a craving for recognition make users susceptible to deceptive flattery and social engineering.
