A hoax can be used by an attacker to spread misinformation, create fear, and manipulate people. For example, an attacker might use a hoax to spread false rumors about a company or its products, or to create false news stories about a political candidate. The attacker could also use a hoax to spread malware or other malicious software, or to trick users into giving away personal information.
