The policeman in Krasnodar gave young journalists advice on Internet security

Young journalists from the Olesia Moskovtseva Media School “PROFI CHILDREN” asked questions about Internet security rules to the head of the department for combating IT crimes of the police department of the Central District of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Krasnodar Evgeny Arkhipov. The guys talked to the law enforcement officer at the CyberEvolution festival.

Asked what advice he would give to a child sitting on the phone right now, Arkhipov said: "Think about who you're communicating with, don't give anyone personal data, don't send any codes." He added that the main thing is not to perform tasks or instructions from strangers on the Internet.

The policeman also named signs by which you can recognize the phishing site. According to him, such a page may look like a real one, but they offer to buy something abnormally cheap, require you to enter personal data or codes from messages.

As an example, he cited a situation where the iPhone worth 100 thousand rubles sold for 10 thousand. Arkhipov explained that this should alert.

Another question was about a strong password. According to the law enforcement officer, only the child himself should know such a password, it should not be guessed or selected, and it should not be recorded anywhere.

Recall that earlier “Yugopolis” in the framework of a joint project with “Mediashkola Olesya Moskovtseva” PROPHI CHILDREN published the results of a survey of Krasnodar residents about the attitude to artificial intelligence.
