사이버폭력 실태 및 피해자 보호 강화 방안 - 사이버 불링(Cyber-bullying)을 중심으로

With the advancement of modern science and technology, such as artificial intelligence, cyberbullying is becoming more diverse and brutal. Among the types of cyberbullying, continuous or repeated cyberbullying seriously violates the victim's personal rights. However, the current law cannot properly regulate new types of cyberbullying, such as acts that alienate and exclude victims, online impersonation using deepfake technology, and image bullying. Thus it fails to fully protect victims. As the damage caused by cyberbullying is becoming more serious, with an increasing number of youths experiencing suicidal or self-harming impulses, it is necessary to introduce independent criminal punishment provisions for serious cyberbullying targeting children and youth by referring to legislation in North Carolina, USA and New Zealand, prior to criminal regulation of adults. As regulations and responsibilities for information and communication service providers are being strengthened worldwide, it is necessary to take note of these legislative trends and ensure that information and communication service providers actively respond to victims’ requests to delete harmful information related to cyberbullying in addition to illegal information subject to criminal punishment. Also, it is urgent to introduce a system that requires information and communication service providers to promptly provide anonymous information on the perpetrators in order to prevent the victim's damage from expanding as quickly as possible and to prevent secondary damage. With reference to Australian legislation, a procedure should be established where the Korea Communications Commission directly requests information and communication service providers to provide personal information and contact information even if the victim does not file a civil or criminal suit. In addition, in order to quickly secure evidence when cyber school violence occurs among youth, school principals and teachers in charge should be given the authority to inspect and confiscate cell phones. In this way, in cases where it is difficult to secure evidence, such as when the victim commits suicide, the true nature of school violence should be properly revealed and the youth should be subject to appropriate punishment.

Does AI signal a new age of cyberthreats?

As new AI technologies make online impersonation easy and facilitate the crafting of faultless and even personalised phishing emails, we need to radically improve our authentication methods. Too many people still rely on outdated methods such as id/password combinations or SMS-based two-factor authentication. The technology already exists to enable us to prove we are who we say we are online. So the time has come to get everyone using it.

Use of Machine Learning and Detect Fake Profiles in a Social Media Network

The social network has become an important part of our lives today which is prone to online impersonation as well as fake accounts. These online profiles are used by intruders to cause harm in online social networks (OSNs) in order to perform malicious activities in form of privacy intrusion like theft identity. So it becomes necessary in OSN, to identify the account whether it is real or fake. In this article we have proposed several algorithms for classification like deep neural network and SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm. It also studies comparisons of these methods for classification based on the spam account dataset that is used to select the best.

Fake Identities in Social Cyberspace

Personation - the act of assuming another’s identity with intent to deceive, is an ancient phenomenon. In this article we seek to research online impersonation and to uncover the causes for this phenomenon. We do so by analyzing and comparing several case studies while referring to more traditional concepts of social identity. As discovered, on the one hand users can create fake identities to enhance their personalities for personal reasons such as voyeurism or as means of escaping reality, or even promote human rights by avoiding local authoritarian censorship. On the other hand, malicious users like terrorists or criminals manipulate online users with phishing attempts and frauds, making social cyber space less secure.

Twitter Bots Detection Using Machine Learning Techniques

The social network, a crucial part of our life is plagued by online impersonation and fake accounts. Fake profiles are mostly used by the intruders to carry out malicious activities such as harming person , identity theft and privacy intrusion in Online Social Network(OSN). Hence identifying an account is genuine or fake is one of the critical problem in OSN .In this paper we proposed many classification algorithm like Support Vector Machine algorithm ,KNN, and Random Forest algorithm. It also studies the comparison of classification methods on Spam User dataset which is used to select the best.

Fake Profile Identification in Online Social Networks

There is a tremendous increase in technologies these days.. Mobiles are becoming smart. Technology is associated with online social networks which has become a part in every one’s life in making new friends and keeping friends , their interests are known easier. But this increase in networking online make many problems like faking their profiles, online impersonation having become more and more in present days. Users are fed with more unnecessary knowledge during surfing which are posted by fake users. Researches have observed that 20% to 40% profiles in online social networks like facebook are fake profiles. Thus this detection of fake profiles in online social networks results into solution using frameworks.

Follow Me, What’s the Harm? Considerations of Catfishing and Utilizing Fake Online Personas on Social Media

This essay centers on the concepts of catfishing and online impersonation. Utilizing the Manti Te’o catfishing hoax and the Texas Tech football coaching staff’s admittance of using fake profiles on social media to follow their players as a basis, this piece will examine past instances of athletes and catfishing and the connection between collegiate athletics and catfishing. Past legal incidents that focus specifically on catfishing, as well as specific laws that could have ramifications on catfishing and fake online personas will be discussed. Finally, the legal considerations that may have a potential effect on the various communication elements within social media platforms will be explored. Recommendations for future research will also be presented.

Parody: Affective Registers, Amateur Aesthetics and Intellectual Property

If contemporary media platforms transform and conflate the relations between professional and amateur creative workers, what might we say about the specificity of their vernacular? This article argues that parody is a key site for the articulation of amateur labour enabled by new patterns of networked production and consumption. Despite its utopian promise of free speech, however, the parodic form is tempered by economic and legal exigencies. Therefore, the essay particularly investigates legislative and policy frameworks that constrain parody discourse. Amendments in 2006 to the Australian Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), for example, introduced parody and satire defences allowing greater scope for social critique. Yet recent US legislation preventing online impersonation (such as mock twitter accounts) raises crucial questions about the public domain.

ON "THE POWER OF VERIFICATION QUERIES" IN UNCONDITIONALLY SECURE MESSAGE AUTHENTICATION

In this paper, we consider authentication codes where the adversary has access to a verification oracle. We formally study two attack games: offline attack and online attack. In an offline impersonation attack with verification query of order i, the adversary launches its attack through two stages. In the first stage — the query stage — the adversary can adaptively choose i distinct messages to query the verification oracle. The verification oracle will answer whether these queried messages are valid or invalid under the secret encoding rule agreed by the transmitter and the receiver. In the later stage — the spoofing stage — the adversary creates a fraudulent message which is different from all its queried messages and sends this message to the receiver. The adversary wins if the receiver accepts the fraudulent message as a valid message. In an online impersonation attack with verification query of order i, the adversary has i + 1 chances to query the verification oracle and wins as soon as one of the queries is a valid message. We make use of strategy trees, which allow optimal strategies in both attack games to be identified, to establish a number of relationships between the value of the two games. This allows us to formally prove a relationship between the value of the game when the adversary has i queries, and the one in which he does not have any. The relationship, though widely believed to be true, was only recently proved for computationally secure systems. Our result complements this latter work for the information theoretic setting.

Rethinking Literature Courses with Difference: Teaching English Literature in Taiwan

Although research and criticisms of English literature has been flourishing in Taiwan over the decades, very little effort has been made to reflect on the values, goals, and pedagogy of the literature courses offered to English majors. The renewed emphasis on research as a major criterion in faculty assessment further removes the literature faculty from the concerns of teaching. Moreover, the increasing demands of language courses for practical purposes in recent years leads to the overemphasis on English departments as language-training centers and further marginalization of literature courses and literary studies. It is therefore imperative to reassess the underlying assumptions of English literature curriculum, redefine its objectives, and modify our teaching strategies accordingly. This paper argues that teaching English literature in a non-English culture, such as in Taiwan, readily involves a comparative perspective. Bringing the awareness of difference to the fore in the classroom will enable students to better appreciate foreignness in the English texts while making connections with their own cultural experience. To manifest cultural difference(s) in a literature classroom, this paper explores several pedagogical possibilities: cultural analogy & comparison, translating & translations, personal journal & online discussion forum, and impersonation & adaptation.

Online impersonation in securities scams

For a con man to convince a target to part with his or her money, he first must gain the target's trust. In cyberspace, securities scammers gain the trust of unwitting investors through a variety of means. Perhaps the most insidious of these involves a form of online impersonation in which the perpetrator uses the Internet's technical capabilities to create bogus online content that mimics information from trusted sources. The author briefly explores the use of various impersonation techniques by persons charged in US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement actions alleging market manipulation and fraud.
