Follow-up: About WWW - World Wild West? seminar with Eugene Kaspersky and Radu Georgescu (Howard Johnson Platinum room, 2009.09.23)

On 2009.09.23 I went to see the "WWW - World Wild West?" seminar with Eugene KASPERSKY and Radu GEORGESCU at Howard Johnson Platinum room. Here's a follow up. Some ideas I took home: - How can Internet Regulation be implemented? Via an Internet Passport for individuals and Accreditation for businesses; - There should be an Internet Government with an Internet police (international one); - Also, a transparent Internet-money system should be in place; - Users & Business education? A must! - Advantages of an Internet Government: a. Stop spam, botnets, DDoS attacks; b. Stop illegal content; c. Stop Internet fraud; d. Stop organized crime and terrorists from using Internet for communication; - Criminals would need a dedicated prison for online crimes; - For this future to become common practice, a lot of years would have to pass; - Organized crime is profitable, easy to do and low risk; - Criminals have no physical contact with the victims; - Modern OS are flexible and insecure; - There are gaps in legislation for organized crime on Internet; - There are problems with victims not reporting the crimes; - You are in US, and robbed by a person in the African country; How do you solve this? - Having a secure OS would imply lesser products and services for that OS; Extra readings in English - see this "Ziarul Financiar" news. Extra readings in Romanian: Here's another conference review. And here are some thoughts with Bogdan DUMITRU from BitDefender. Also some news from "Ziarul Financiar".
