Abstract
Data visualization has become a useful tool to effectively communicate information and is widely used not only by experts but also at a general level. However, it is dangerous that it is as efficient as it is to transmit false information. All data visualizations have hidden intent with powerful messages by editor. Building a system that grasps these intentions helps to understand the thoughts of groups and individuals. Most of the existing research focuses on effective data visualization methods and methods of expression. The more various visualization methods, the more likely the data will be distorted. In this paper, we present an analysis of deceptive data visualization in a goal-oriented environment. Based on the vulnerability of human cognitive processing, we classify the attack types and identify what tricks occur in the context of data visualization. This study suggests the first step in studying the case of aggressive visualization and opens the way for further research.
