A Social Engineering Vector is a method or pathway utilized by malicious actors to manipulate individuals into performing actions or divulging confidential information, often through psychological tactics rather than technical exploits. In the context of digital assets, this can involve impersonation, coercion, or persuasion to gain access to wallets, private keys, or system credentials. It exploits human psychology rather than software flaws. It is a human-centric attack method.
