    <p>Введение. В статье рассматривается Правило пяти «нет», представляющее собой поведенческую модель профилактики киберпреступлений, используемую в Республике Вьетнам в целях предупреждения преступных посягательств с использованием методов социальной инженерии. Оценивая рост индустриализованных центров телефонного мошенничества, транснационального кибермошенничества и обмана с использованием искусственного интеллекта, автор отмечает, что эффективная профилактика требует не только применения технических мер кибербезопасности, но и укрепления когнитивных способностей для защиты от киберпреступников. На основе анализа представлений о психологических предпосылках киберпреступлений показано, что социальная инженерия использует когнитивную уязвимость, эмоциональное давление, психологическую установку на доверие, факторы срочности и авторитета говорящего для манипулирования процессом принятия решений жертвой. Методы: общенаучные методы обработки информации (анализ, синтез, конкретизация) и частнонаучная методология (анализ случаев (case study) применяются для обобщения и конкретизации представлений о поведенческих стратегиях противодействия киберпреступлениям, совершаемым методом социальной инженерии. Результаты. Полученные данные показывают, что Правило пяти «нет», разработанное на основе теоретических представлений о поведении жертвы кибермошенников, функционирует как механизм «межсетевого экрана» (Human Firewall), переводя принципы критического мышления в простые поведенческие правила отказа: не поддавайся страху, не поддавайся жадности, не разглашай, не предоставляй доступ, не переводи. Статья расширяет представления о психологической профилактике киберпреступлений, демонстрируя вьетнамский опыт как модель когнитивной профилактики киберпреступлений для стран, население которых подвергается аналогичным угрозам.</p>

    <p>Introduction. The article examines Vietnam’s “5-NOs” rule as a behavioral cybercrime prevention model against social engineering crimes. Drawing on case study analysis and theoretical cross-examination, the study analyzes how social engineering exploits cognitive vulnerability, emotional pressure, trust, urgency, and authority to manipulate victims’ decision-making. In the context of industrialized scam centers, transnational cyber fraud, and AI-enhanced deception, the article argues that effective prevention requires not only technical cybersecurity measures but also the strengthening of human cognitive protection capacity. Based on an analysis of the psychological underpinnings of cybercrime, it has been shown that social engineering exploits cognitive vulnerabilities, emotional pressure, a psychological predisposition to trust, and factors such as urgency and the speaker’s authority to manipulate the victim’s decision-making process. Methods: general scientific methods of information processing (analysis, synthesis, specification) and discipline-specific methodology (case studies) are used to generalize and specify our understanding of behavioral strategies for countering cybercrimes committed through social engineering. Results. The findings suggest that Vietnam’s “5-NOs” rule functions as a practical “Human Firewall” mechanism by translating critical thinking into simple behavioral refusal principles: no fear, no greed, no disclosure, no access, and no transfer. The article contributes to cybercrime prevention literature by positioning the Vietnamese experience as a community-based cognitive prevention model that may offer useful policy implications for countries facing similar social engineering threats.</p>
