Learn in the textbookThe Fraud Triangle and Human Vulnerabilities
DefinitionHuman vulnerability (人的脆弱性) is a weakness that lies with people rather than with equipment, such as carelessness, lack of knowledge, or being easily deceived.
ExplanationA vulnerability is a weakness that can be exploited by a threat (a cause that can bring about damage). Human vulnerabilities include reusing the same password and forgetting to lock the screen when leaving one's desk, and they are reduced step by step through education, training, and publicizing rules.
AnalogyEven a sturdy safe is pointless if its combination is written on a sticky note stuck to the door. The weak point is not the safe but the person using it.
