Social networks are dangerous for children!

A completed questionnaire on VKontakte or Odnoklassniki may lead a criminal or a maniac to a child

“The younger generation is crazy about social networks, but rarely imagines the consequences of being overly open and hyper-communicative,” wrote computer security specialist, head of the Kaspersky Lab antivirus Evgeny Kaspersky yesterday on his blog. - There is no guarantee that private information from profiles and “walls” will not fall into the wrong hands. The story that happened in April with his son Ivan made us think about the safety of social networks of Eugene Kaspersky. Then the 20-year-old boy was kidnapped and held hostage for five days, demanding a ransom of 3 million euros from his parents. The operation to rescue the prisoner was carried out by operatives of the MUR, FSB and special forces.
- Vanya’s profile on VKontakte contained more than enough details to understand his life, preferences, work and plan a crime, Kaspersky analyzes the situation. - The guy was careless, it's my fault. And measures have already been taken. Do not make the same mistake ...
To prevent such incidents in other families, Kaspersky invites all parents, regardless of the age of their children, to carefully monitor what they post on the Internet. And for this, firstly, the social networks themselves must develop restrictive mechanisms. For example, moderation of children's content by parents and special settings for privacy and security. For example, to create children's pages as part of the section of mom or dad. The second way to solve the problem is universal education on network security issues.
“These are very sound recommendations,” said business intelligence Roman Romachev, who actively uses the Internet to collect data about people. - In no case should you upload photos against the background of your suburban cottage, a car (especially if its number is visible). Even the school number is better not to indicate. Some social networks can fix the geographical coordinates of the user's location and communicate this information to the whole world - these options must be turned off. But in addition to its own page, a leak may appear in the sections of friends. Social networks are a wonderful way of communication, but when talking with the whole world it is important to remember that not only good people live in it, but not all friends can be considered real friends.
- Recently I was amazed by the data of OnGuard Online - 22% of users of social networks from 16 to 24 years old do not even know the people with whom they are “friends”! - writes Kaspersky. However, the owners of social networks do not agree with him. They do not want to take responsibility for the fate of those who use their services.
“Now teenagers are much more advanced in the field of computer security than their parents,” says Lyudmila Bulavina, marketing director of the Odnoklassniki social network. - In order to control children's activity in social networks, you need to change the laws, this is a long, troublesome business, it will certainly cause a wave of protests. It is much more important to make sure that traffic lights work in front of all schools - this is a real danger. The task of parents is to explain to their children that in virtual, conditionally anonymous communication, the same safety rules must be observed as in a real meeting with a stranger.
