课程名称:社交媒体威胁与对策 课程概述:本课程探讨社交媒体的威胁与对策,旨在教育公众了解社交媒体的黑暗面以及相应的防护措施。社交媒体是基于互联网的沟通与互动技术,用户可以通过这些计算机网络共享多媒体内容,尤其是图片和视频。Facebook、Google+、LinkedIn、Twitter等社交媒体网站是互联网最广泛使用的技术之一,其日活跃用户数以亿计,并随着智能手机以及3G、4G、甚至5G网络的普及而不断增加。 人们乐于通过在线社交网络(OSN)与家人、朋友互动,分享经历、图片、视频等信息。然而,社交媒体也存在黑暗的一面,充斥着黑客、欺诈者、网络掠食者和情报机构等,这些人能够利用社交网络作为攻击下一个受害者的平台。不幸的是,大多数用户对社交媒体平台的安全风险缺乏认识,这些风险主要包括隐私泄露、身份盗窃、恶意软件、假冒账户、勒索和性骚扰等。 根据最近的研究,许多社交媒体用户在发布照片或直接提供如家庭地址、电话号码、当前活动和位置等信息时,暴露了敏感的个人细节。此外,Facebook用户经常接受来自陌生人的好友请求,这些陌生人有时是好友的朋友。接受这些好友请求后,用户无意中将私人信息泄露给完全不认识的人。这些信息可能被恶意利用,给用户在虚拟和现实中都带来伤害。当用户为儿童或青少年时,这些风险更为严重,因为他们相对更容易受到伤害。在某些情况下,社交媒体上的网络欺凌甚至可能导致悲剧性的结果,如受害儿童自杀。 在社交媒体快速发展的时代,我们在使用社交媒体时必须采取一些预防措施。本课程涵盖了以下主要主题:社交媒体术语介绍、社交媒体威胁、对策及总结。我们希望学生能够从这门有价值的课程中学到很多知识。
This course on Social Media Threats and Counter Measures is based upon the facts that we experience in our life since the inception of the social media. The key purpose of this course is to educate the masses about dark side of the social media along with counter measures.Social media are Internet based communication and mutual interaction technologies. These are computer networks created for exchanging multimedia rich contents between users specially pictures and video clips. Social media (SM) sites are amongst the most widely used technologies on the Internet e.g Facebook, Google+, Linkedln, Twitter etc. These sites have hundreds of millions of daily users and the number is ever increasing with the advent of smart phones and 3G I 4G even 5G networks. People enjoy using Online Social Networks (OSN) to interact with families, friends and other people through sharing of experiences, pictures, videos, and other types of information. On the other hand social media also has a dark side which is rip with hackers, fraudsters, online predators and intelligence agencies; all capable of using OSN as a platform for targeting their next victim.Unfortunately, most users are unaware of the security risks associated with social media platforms that mainly include breach of privacy, identity theft, malware, fake profiles, blackmailing and sexual harassment.According to recent studies, many social media users expose intimate and sensitive personal details about themselves, their friends, families, personal relationships and organisations, either by posting photos or by directly providing information such as home/ office addresses/ phone numbers, current activities and location. Moreover, Facebook users tend to accept friendship requests from unknown people, who are sometimes friend of their friends. By accepting these friend requests, users unknowingly disclose their private information to total strangers. This information could be used maliciously, harming users both in the virtual and in the real world. These risks increase manifold when the users are children or teenagers who are more exposed and vulnerable than the adults. Horrifically, in some cases cyberbullying through social media can lead to catastrophic results like committing suicide by the affected children.In this era of social media growth, we must keep some preventive measures while using social media. In this course following main topics have been covered:-Introduction to the Social Media Terminologies used in cyber worldSocial Media ThreatsCounter MeasuresConclusionWe hope the students will learn a lot from this valuable course.
