About WWW – World Wild West? seminar on 2009.09.23 with Eugene KASPERSKY and Radu GEORGESCU at Howard Johnson Platinum room

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;
