                         Loss of personal data: Sensitive details like passwords or PINs may be stolen.

                         Financial loss: Scammers may misuse card details or online banking access.

                         Account hacking: Social media or email accounts may be taken over.

                         Privacy breach: Private photos, messages or files may be exposed.
                         Device damage: Malicious links may install harmful software on the device.

                         Identity misuse: Stolen personal information may be used to impersonate the
                         victim.
