What is Naivety in the Digital Age?

What is Naivety in the Digital Age? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From en.wikipedia.org - November 5, 2012 4:15 PM

[Start Text from Wikipedia]

Naivety (or naïvety, naïveté, etc.), is the state of being naive—having or showing a lack of experience, understanding or sophistication, often in a context where one neglects pragmatism in favor of moral idealism. One who is naive may be called a naif. [End Text from Wikipedia]

 

=============================================

 

Gust MEES

 

Naivety in the Digital Age means not realizing and accepting the dangers of Internet, the ignorance of the need to secure its computer and any other device connecting to the Internet (smartphones + ...), having no clue about Cyber-Security and people who think that Internet-Safety ALONE is enough!

 

===> Naif means ALSO thinking that a certain Operating System is secure and perfect! Nobody is perfect: <===

 

- Apple: http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security

 

- Linux: http://www.scoop.it/t/securite-pc-et-internet?q=Linux

 

- Windows: everybody knows that already...

 

 

In 21st Century Internet-Safety ALONE isn't enough anymore, a need for sure, but there is a MUST to teach and to learn ALSO about basics of Cyber-Security! Both together are a MUST! NOT ONLY one alone!

 

Would YOU like to get called a naif because not having those skills?

 

Certainly NOT, so check out my FREE courses please to become a good eCitizen, Digital Citizen and share it with YOUR family, colleagues, friends and...

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A COMPUTER EXPERT TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE ONLINE. — iKeepSafe | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.ikeepsafe.org - November 2, 2012 2:45 PM

You can help your child become a responsible, ethical digital citizen with healthy online relationships. To do that, you’ll use the same successful parenting skills that you’re already using at home.

 

Resilient digital citizens recognize and seek out the 3Cs—appropriate contact, content, and conduct—in all digital settings (e.g., iPods,instant messaging, chat, computer games, game consoles, cell phones, text messaging, webcams).

 

==========================================

 

Gust MEES

 

In 21st Century there is a MUST to have basic knowledge about Internet-Safety, Internet-Security, Cyber-Security! Lots of strange words, isn't it? But don't be afraid of that, it is much more easy to stay safe on Internet as YOU might think!

 

WE need ONLY to have the right reflexes and spend a bit of time to make the first steps. Remember the first steps YOU made and YOUR kids? Took a bit time before YOU were walking ;) Same when learning to stay secure, a bit effort is needed, but certainly worth to do to protect YOUR Kids, right ;)

 

This website is very interesting, professional and with lots of tips, YOU should watch the videos and read also... First read it and watch the videos and then later together with YOUR Kids, where YOU can explain to them...

Digital Agenda for Europe - Creating a Better Internet for Kids

Digital Agenda for Europe - Creating a Better Internet for Kids | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From ec.europa.eu - November 2, 2012 12:49 PM

Keeping kids safe and empowered as they explore the digital world
Kids start using the Internet from the age of 7. Eighty eight minutes is the average time 9-16 year olds spend online. Children need quality content online to stimulate their imagination and help them learn, but they also need the skills and tools for using the Internet safely and responsibly.

 

============================================

 

Gust MEES

 

A very good initiative, though I don't agree with the age of 7! Other reports show age of 3 1/2-4 and I taught my niece already 10 years ago about awareness when she had the age of 4 /12.

Cybercriminals Continue to Improve Skype-Spreading Malware

Cybercriminals Continue to Improve Skype-Spreading Malware | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From news.softpedia.com - November 1, 2012 12:36 PM
Cybercriminals Continue to Improve Skype-Spreading Malware...

 

At the beginning of October, cybercriminals started spreading some nasty pieces of malware via Skype by using messages such as “lol is this your new profile pic” to trick users into clicking on malicious links.

 

According to security firms, millions of users might have infected their computers after clicking on the suspicious links.

Although the infection rates have dropped since, security researchers say that the individuals responsible for developing and maintaining the threats known as W32.IRCBot.NG and W32.Phopifas haven’t given up on their project.

 

The infection routine remains unchanged, but the developers have added new hosts from which the pieces of malware can be downloaded, Symantec experts explain.

Symantec helps consumers and organizations secure and manage their information-driven world.

 

Zero-Day World

 

Zero-day (zero-hour or day zero) vulnerabilities are previously unknown vulnerabilities that have not been revealed publicly but are exploited by attackers. Discovering and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities helps cyber criminals to increase the success rate of attacks. Attacks using zero-day exploits are tough to identify and analyze because in many cases information is not available until attacks have already occurred. There is practically no protection against zero-day attacks as details of the vulnerability is usually a mystery when these attacks are first observed.

At DHS, we’re working to develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity while fostering an environment for talented staff to grow in this field.

 

We are building strong cybersecurity career paths within the Department, and in partnership with other government agencies. We are also creating training and development opportunities to retain our most talented employees and ensure their professional development. In collaboration with the National Security Agency, we are strengthening the nation’s educational infrastructure by supporting Centers of Academic Excellence across the country.

 

In addition, we are extending the scope of cyber education beyond the federal workplace through the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, involving students from kindergarten through post-graduate school.

 

And we sponsor the U.S. Cyber Challenge, a program that works with academia and the private sector to identify and develop the best and brightest cyber talent to meet our nation’s growing and changing security needs.

Millions of Home Networks Infected by ZeroAccess Botnet

Millions of Home Networks Infected by ZeroAccess Botnet | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.securityweek.com - November 1, 2012 9:42 AM
With more than 2 Million home computers infected, the ZeroAccess Botnet Generates roughly $1 Million in Ad Click fraud daily for cybercriminals.

 

A report from network-based security and analytics vendor Kindsight says that 2.2 million home networks were infected with the ZeroAccess botnet in Q3 2012. This infection rate means that advertisers are losing almost one million dollars a day due to click fraud generated by the botnet, the report adds.

 

ZeroAccess has been around since 2010, and is a business in and of itself. In September, it was estimated that the size of the botnet had grown to one million systems and had been installed over 9 million times globally, with the majority of these infection and installation points located within the U.S.

Cybercrime is a Global Problem; Increasingly Social and Mobile (2012 Norton Cybercrime Report) : It's Not A Con

Cybercrime is a Global Problem; Increasingly Social and Mobile (2012 Norton Cybercrime Report) : It's Not A Con | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.itsnotacon.co.uk - October 31, 2012 7:21 PM

The Norton Cybercrime Report is out for 2012! Cybercrime continues to have far-reaching effects and is increasingly a problem on mobile devices and in our social networks (where we seem to be less vigilant).

 

After surveying more than 13,000 consumers in 24 countries, the researchers found that the numbers of online adults increased by 20% from last year, and that cybercrime impacted just under &frac12; of them in the previous 12 months.

Don’t Let BYOD become BYOV (Bring your own viruses)

Don’t Let BYOD become BYOV (Bring your own viruses) | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From consumerization.trendmicro.com - October 31, 2012 5:43 PM
The return of IM worms, such as the recent Skype threat, underscores a risk that IT managers face in an increasingly BYO world.

 

It was an early form of consumerization with people bringing the applications they used in their personal lives into the workplace. Call it a “BYOA” approach: Bring Your Own Application. Always being ready to adapt to emerging trends, attackers started crafting malware that would exploit the weaknesses these new applications introduced into the workplace. Attackers adapted methods that worked so well with email worms like the ILOVEYOU worm of 2000 to create a new kind of worm that could spread even faster over IM networks.

Learning basics of Cybersecurity: A look at the Russian underground cyber market

Learning basics of Cybersecurity: A look at the Russian underground cyber market | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.infosecurity-magazine.com - October 31, 2012 11:45 AM
“The Russian shadow economy is an economy of scale, one that is service oriented and that has become a kleptocracy wherein crony capitalism has obtained a new lease on life in cyberspace,” says a new report into the cybercriminal Russian underground.

 

Professor John Walker, chair of the London chapter ISACA and CTO of Secure-Bastion, sees a road-map for APT laid out by the report. “In a nutshell,” he told Infosecurity, “what the Trend Micro report is confirming is that the much debated logical attack vectors of

 

===>  the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), and the more focused Advanced Evasion Techniques (AET) as reported by StoneSoft are not hype, but reality.<===

 

“In the Trend Micro report,” he continued, “we see the imagination of the Russian Cyber Attacker laid out before our eyes – with some excellent examples of the lengths cyber criminals are prepared to take to underpin a successful mission.

 

===> It is also very clear that, this mission is lucrative, and would seem to imply it is going to be with us for some time yet.” <===
