Safe RUNET: whether it is possible?
Internet nowadays has become integral to the modern life of the Russian society. The “net” has entangled millions of households and thousands of Russian schools. However, the new possibilities entailed new menaces.
The Internet’s spirit says that the Internet is certain free space, where humans can express any opinion, which isn’t filtered by anything. On the other hand, we perfectly understand that actions in the Internet, which concerns safety of the state, safety of the person, any immoral things, should be cut off.
The existence of on-line risks is as incontestable as the benefit and amusement brought by the Internet resources. Not only governmental agencies, but also Internet industry tend to keep a vigilant watch over the safety of Internet users. Nevertheless, the lack of information about online risks results in new victims among Internet users every day.
There are the some kind Internet risks, which can be devide on:
1. content risks (pornography, child pornography, piracy, drugs and extremism propa-ganda, unprintable texts),
2. safety risks (computer viruses, Trojans, unsolicited e-mail (SPAM), online fraud) and
3. communication risks (illegal contact, cyber-bullying – a range of offline behaviours including threats and sexual harassment).
Safety Risks mainly are connected with harmful programs and online fraud. Harmful programs negatively influence on computer’s work. Viruses, undesirable advertising program, various forms of harmful codes and programs-spies are concerned them.
Online fraud is one of the cybercrime kinds which purpose is the deceit of users. Plunder of the confidential data can lead to illegally access and use the personal information of the user for getting material profit. The good anti-virus program may protect users from harmful pro-grams, but user can protect yourself from online fraud only care and knowledge of threats.
Spam is risks of electronic safety too, but it causes more inconvenience, than harm for users.
We were confronted only with electronic safety threats about 15 years there were then threats have already economic character, connected with money fraud on the Internet. Then it becomes easy to publish a content in the Internet, both text, and visual, the content threats ap-pear (images, texts which do harm to children).
New technologies have turned all of us, and mostly young people, into publishers of in-formation, pictures, videos: photos and videos can be taken at any time with a mobile phone, they can be sent to a list of contacts and uploaded on a blog or a social networking profile in a minute. Photos, once online, remain online and can be seen by anybody, even years after they have been posted.
Young people do not always realize that the personal information they post remains on-line and it can be accessed by anyone (including their parents, teachers, future employers). Many employers now check their job candidates online. Personal information contained in social net-working profiles can be used by unscrupulous individuals.
Innocent pictures can easily be displayed in a completely different context, leading to embarrassment, or even bullying. Because of the digital nature of the photos, they can be cut, pasted, altered or distorted.
