Cyber Law - Science topic

In Poland it could be a pure hacking and additionaly it might be qualified as causing direct danger to health or life. Besides, data protection regulations may be applied.

Please see the RG link below.

Below I briefly described the issues related to cybercrime and cybersecurity, which I researched and described in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal. Over the past few years, the scale of cybercrime attacks on the IT systems of various institutions, including government institutions, on the databases of social media portals, on the ICT systems of banks, on electronic banking systems has been growing. Cybercriminals are increasingly attacking mobile online banking systems made available to Internet users and bank customers through mobile devices, mainly via smartphones. Research shows that the scale of cybercrime attacks on the IT systems of banks, institutions, etc. using social engineering combined with perfidiously created malicious software such as ransomware, i.e. encrypting access to data on disks or redirecting users to fake websites of banks and institutions on the Internet to phishing personal data, access passwords to electronic banking accounts and, as a result, to steal money. For several years, many mailbox users have appeared strange emails of unknown origin, which are sent as spam from private other email accounts or others with false information. Attachments containing false information are attached to many of these suspicious emails, usually sent by cybercriminals and hackers. Attachments are usually of the WORD * .doc document type, the Acrobat Reader * .pdf format, image files or other formats, and often contain Ransomware-type viruses. These are very dangerous viruses that encrypt access to a computer's disk. In addition, cyber criminals are increasingly using mailboxes set up on the e-mail portal to send infected e-mails to subsequent Internet users by generating fake emails so that they look like a specific user of the mailbox would send e-mails prepared by cybercriminals to their friends. These types of cybercrime techniques are becoming more common. Why are Internet technology companies that dominate the market and offer e-mail services do not improve the security of e-mail communication systems using e-mail boxes to significantly reduce cybercriminals' activity harmful to citizens? This question is still valid. On the other hand, internet banks and technology internet companies, technology fintechs are constantly improving cyber security techniques. The development of Business Intelligence business intelligence, Blockchain technology, data analysis in Big Data database systems, artificial intelligence to track movements and attacks made by cybercriminals, for prognostic analyzes, etc. can be helpful in the process of improving IT systems risk management. Therefore, the skilful and efficient use of data science technology can be helpful in combating cybercrime, but it all depends on how these technologies will be used and, as a consequence, who will win in the following years in this IT, information "arms race". I conduct research in this area. Conclusions from the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate website. I invite you to scientific cooperation.

In my opinion, propaganda and information warfare involve at some point or another the efforts of a non-democratic regime to undermine a democracy or an equally non-democratic regime. Groups can also engage in propaganda campaigns. Counter-propaganda involves factual information combined with propaganda arguments: see the US versus ”red” propaganda during the Cold War via Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe. Propaganda evolves into information warfare depending on the scale and ideological stakes of the clash between democracy and its enemies: individuals, groups or states.

Hi Shaik

If you are looking to collect real forensic data without upsetting others, why don't you set up a honeypot server? This way, you will attract a huge amount of potential attacks, and you will be able to analyse what is happening, or has happened. There are quite a number of these available to use. You can either set them up as standalone systems, or you can use one to run on the cloud. There is a good startup from around three years ago who specialise in providing a honeypot server, which has its own toolsets to track and monitor what is happening, and will allow you to amass a good deal of useful data to help you with your quest. It is Open Source, so the only cost will be the cost of your cloud instance. It is called Modern-Honey-Network, and I have included a link to their website plus a tutorial on how to set one up in Amazon EC2.

This way, you get to collect plenty of good data, and you are not likely to impact on anyone else. Besides, very few companies are willing to share forensic data resulting from a security breach or a breach attempt, so this will give you the opportunity to collect real forensic data.

Good luck with your project.

The title of the book is 'The Dutch implementation of the data retention directive. On the storage and use of telephone and internet traffic data for crime investigation purposes'.

with legal aspects the Countries need to reach a consensus as to the technical requirements and industry standards in hardware, software, internet protocols and related technologies that are most critical to law enforcement needs.
