The internet ushered forth a new era of global connectedness. Even the internet's creators were unable to fully grasp its immense potential. Conversely, the internet has always been a plague that leads to cybercrime and other virtual scandals. This study will examine the impact of information sharing, risk perception, and vulnerability on information security. In terms of digital platforms, research is still in its infancy, with most studies focusing on humanistic catastrophes. Humanity has always been present in pandemics and disasters. People from all across the world have stepped forward to help those in need. Sadly, we've noticed an uptick in charity frauds as crooks try to profit from the situation. Since perceived severity is a negative emotion, this study will only focus on the meditation impact of perceived severity. This study is based on data acquired from 308 ordinary people in India via an online poll. Perceived severity influences information security favorably, proving the study's objective and extending our research to futuristic concepts on sorts of information security like extortion and other thefts of information on perceived severity.
