7:33 am
here they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives . later it transpired that her son had been put on the list of suspects by mistake nevertheless the f.b.i. continued to track the artist he feared that sooner or later he might end up in prison at guantanamo bay that was when his son decided to make life easier for the special services he set up a site called tracking transience where he posts every single bit of personal information about himself in real time. so you're seeing here you can see that there's a red arrow with some boxes that you can see a city an image well ok so where's the city or it looks like there's a river nearby and there's lots of green let's go to a little bit further and we're in this building right here next to a church. as the days and months went by a constant information feed of this one person's life became an artistic project
7:34 am
that when i first started this project people thought i was out of my mind why would you want to tell everyone every little detail of everything that you're doing . why is that what why why do you want to do that well not even. seven eight years later we have seven hundred fifty million people on facebook. essentially doing the same thing. give any kaspersky is one of russia's most successful businessman his computer security company because personally labs was founded in one nine hundred ninety seven it's now the country's leading producer of antivirus software the company has offices around the world for years kaspersky has campaigned for the introduction of unified laws for the internet he feels safeguarding personal information should be the prime objective. is are with up with the suppose you have created
7:35 am
a program and want to launch it on the internet or you log on to a banking page or want to do something else that may potentially harm of the users in that case you are welcome to present your internet passport that passport might come in a variety of forms were in the us but russia's leading specialist in online security seems powerless in the face of a flight criminals on an april morning in twenty eleven because basically some event was on his way to work as usual passing an old industrial area two criminals were lying in wait they overpowered evac bundled him into a car and took him to a location in moscow. in the evening beginning his bestie received a phone call the kidnappers demanded a ransom of several million dollars as it turned out the abductors had gleaned yvonne's personal information from his page on russia's most popular social network
7:36 am
it included his phone number home address and daily groups to work. with anything about social networks should encourage use the post that sort of information is if a site all six for private information in criminal charges should be brought against it in the event of a leak. if any kaspersky agree to talk to us on the condition that he would not be asked to comment on his son's abduction. even so it prompted russia's leading computer security campaigner to come up with codes of conduct for firms dealing in people's private data. it is a little social networks are a public space like cafes and restaurants that's where people get together as a service it was normally the organizations that run such places what for profit fit for the global social networks or commercial stretches the responsibility for the security of a guest should be on their heads and wallets. nonevent kaspersky was being held in
7:37 am
the basement of a house in the moscow region his father and police were trying to figure out his abductors whereabouts and intercepted phone calls helped police detain the kidnappers during the handover for ransom. the incident sparked fears that such websites were becoming a come to mind for criminals but internet security specialists maintain that the kaspersky case is the exception rather than the group. muscle with the thought it's in this case the fact that social networks are used by huge mass of people plays a positive role if there were only a hundred users disclosing information about themselves there is no doubt that they would be the primary target but today the threat is spread over millions of users this means that what was dangerous several years ago is far less risky today.
7:38 am
and maybe. there's people out there that are big brother your privacy they want to so is this is all about money it's not the ferias it's not sinister this is all an attempt that. they want to serious stuff they want to know everything about you so they can sell you stuff stephen rambo is a private investigator who runs an online investigation service he's told the united states holding discussions on his report they get straight to the point prissy is dead get over it at every stop along his tour he repeated his message over and over again the true meaning of the word prissy was lost a long time ago and i'll tell you the biggest the biggest privacy invertor of all. through cell phone this has changed everything it tells me where you or it tells me who your friends or who tells me who's important for you it tells me where you work
7:39 am
tells were you live it tells me where you eat it tells me everything that i need to know about you yandex is russia's leading internet search engine the company's motto of here you can find anything you want became even more significant in the summer of twenty eleven at that time thousands of private s.m.s. messages sent by the website of a russian cell phone operator ended up being displayed in the yandex search engine anyone could read the private correspondence it's then as a matter of fact there was a mistake and made by that size developers in any case those messages were in the public domain. it simply found those pages that's all there is to it with actual work. it's now known that search engines are a very simple method of finding a lot of personal information security specialist remind people that online
7:40 am
communication is never a private conversation even if you think you are talking to only one person. or any information that is available to all can and will be indexed and that's for sure search engines are being improved all the time progress never goes back it always moves forward to knowledge is don't become worse but search engines are always being improved. one of russia's most popular blog services live journal is housed in these offices the company's major problem is the growing number of users who are turning to popular social networks. so how are we coming along with security. at live journal staff think the tide will turn they say that in five years time those users will be terrified by the thought that they have revealed too much about themselves to the world's. most users are not aware of the fact that
7:41 am
they are at risk they now know that social networks are fraught with security frets following media reports about users being robbed after revealing their personal information online that's when the anonymity era will set in everybody will begin purging their profiles and leaving social networks it's true that live journal is a social network but with a difference most of its users are keen to hide personal information under nicknames without revealing their true identities put simply they've created online personas for their online lives. content is the all important principle of live journal we are concerned with what people write about but who the writers are is not so important. to facebook as a social network it is important to know who you and your friends are with us it is not that important you know live journal users do identify their journal somehow but they are not amiss in the sense that a journal is not

a person you. follow please send the bill for dinner until recently the well known russian fiction writer said again looking at a live journal page like most authors he hid his identity under a nickname. his page was one of the three most popular russian blogs but when comments on one of his entries erupted in scandal and he started getting death threats he decided to close his account. realize should include an area of privacy because internet is a priori outside of privacy people need to understand that but artist has santa live he has no intention of closing his all well and project instead he wants to share more information with the world. i figured in my way with is not disinformation that it's because i share i live an incredibly anonymous and private life and i wouldn't be able to do that if there wasn't all this information about
7:43 am
me in the public because that's really just noise at the end of the day the sun expects most people to follow his example very soon and i'm sure in an era of total information transparency the american artist insists that it will be a world without secrets. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall street preachers they have. the chance to get a book that says the be human experiments get. this and this rap music would it. be good to be trying to censor the economy and its arcane things

a scale the british capital had not seen in decades. that. small shops and london has suffered most of all in the standoff. skyrocketed over a week of disturbances. so i walk in my apartment first thing i notice is that the door was open so i look around my flat was completely rampage it was like a tornado went through all these drawers or. clothes and things are spread. all over the that's when i noticed that the window was open and that the bars had. all the damage to the window thieves ransacking the flats of programmer craig martin took away what he treasured most a laptop storing his personal information and numerous projects. personal my work
7:47 am
laptop had all kinds of software and files on it although it was encrypted i felt safe about that i just didn't want it falling in the wrong hands. at the point the police came and did their forensic work they were dusting for prints i couldn't help but think that i was in the stone age i was like ok they're never going to find this stuff it's gone. craig had little faith in the police's ability to catch the culprits any time soon so he decided to launch his own investigation social networks under special program he didn't stored on his computer to prove helpful and since really how it works is you go to the website and then flag your laptop as and stolen and the laptop next time it's online will start sending records. containing location pictures of the person if you have a built in webcam as well as screenshots of what's going on on the screen at that particular time it to create just a few hours to find out all that he needed to know about the man who stole his
7:48 am
computer he knew his exact location facebook provided him with the features account and the not talks with camera took pictures over a google search later i knew where he went to high school whose family was all kinds of information about the person since they built this dossier of information and turned it over to the london metro police they were able to pick him up within twenty four hours after that. through his job craig has been tracing changes in how private lives are detailed on the internet for quite some time he maintains its impossible for anyone who's been online to hide anything sincerely you have to know that now when you're online you have no privacy and you know there's not a lot of ways to protect your identity especially people that use facebook and how the information on blogs or twitter all you have to know is is a personal piece of information to find the whole enchilada. gehman sterling of
7:49 am
is arguably the most eccentric figure in russian business he was russia's first dollar millionaire and founded the first commodity exchange now selig of lives in a village he calls on his countryman to reject the accomplishments of progress. so this is a phrase that. we didn't have all until earlier this year. and it's a dream come true because now we have a no nonsense reason. we can crack it with big lumps of meat an oist when the cold comes around you i mean i stand there loss all year long. stanley of moved his family into a big timber house that has no freezer no cooker and no internet access. yet this thing is a spy and has become a monster and soon your bank it soon then they'll be complete the payments on it and if you want to escape there's only one way or else.

nevertheless stoli gov has to remain in tune with the times a couple of years ago he launched a new business project he needs to make daily trips to moscow where he spends ten hours in his skyscraper office. so little feels it's too late for him to worry about his information previously too much information is already on the internet but he doesn't allow his children to even approach a computer let alone go online. here whatever poses a threat to children's health isn't bans it's actually the other way around asphalt is far less dangerous than the t.v. set and even chemicals are not as dangerous as the internet. to programmers tampering with a new i phone in the spring of twenty eleven stumbled upon
7:51 am
a file they'd never come across before. as it turned out the phone was storing information about its owner's movements months. now apple explain this was fairly sort of innocent and that may well be the case we can certainly see it happening in the future where this is less innocent and people start using this information for example in court cases if you're accused of doing something you might say i demand to see this file on your phone which will prove you where i said you were later the owners of other smartphone brands also complained about snooping telephones many spoken about the arrival of the big brother era if people don't want that data at the company and the best thing to do is not necessarily use those services they're ok the internet or you know just to put that data right out there on the internet or something that made it like a smart. program a semi kanka is a security expert he's one of the most prominent whistleblowers of major
7:52 am
corporations such as apple and google he's sure that the recording of all i phone users movements is just a trial step subsequent developments will be more sophisticated. marketing specialists are not the only ones who reap the benefits of information transparency social networks have also made life much easier for recruitment agencies it wasn't that long ago that human resources staff would rely exclusively on what we can do the told them about themselves and recommendations from previous employers now they have more detail information. we can find out where candidates have been employed before where they spoke in interviews what communities they belong to or what conferences they have attended but all we need to know above all if we see accessible online information about somebody being a member of some odd community we will have doubts about his or her adequate
7:53 am
behavior. before making a final decision a recruitment agency today checks all information that's available on the internet . this way please we'll start with a brief interview. there was an incident at one major company a person in question was the former head of h.r. and was not particularly well liked and one day security decided to investigate him and they looked through his browsing history they came across the questionnaire results that he had filled out on a dating site it turned out that he had made no attempt to hide the fact that he was a paedophile needless to say the man was thrown out of a company and discreet activists from the russian pirate party believe it is possible to be anonymous online in the spring of twenty eleven they created a site called room leaks which looked similar to the notorious wiki leaks project.
7:54 am
the system developed by the russian pirates makes it possible for anyone sending information to remain absolutely anonymous. so. whatever you do on the internet will be used against you. every bit of information you spread through social networks and logs in the history of your search where is all that is stored. with that information shapes a true profile so much so that it's possible to model your psychological portrait we've already. given so there are systems out there that can make it anonymous and secure and. private detective agency paul stephen round i'm always concludes his public addresses with the same message be humble. of global openness and universal information transparency began a long time ago. his advice to those who want to have at least
7:55 am
a measure of protection is simple make your visits to the internet less frequent. i post just often enough there were people know that are. possibly once a month. i'm very careful that i keep location aware programs turned off so it doesn't report where i physically i'm at the moment i don't reports what i'm doing or or who are and where the things are. but the artist has signed a law he advocates a different strategy here just people not to hide anything and share information about their every move with the entire world the reason that information has value is that no one else has access to it. but by cutting out this middleman and giving it directly to the public the information that this agency has has no value whatsoever. so therefore it devalues the currency and the currency being
7:56 am
intelligence but if hundreds of millions of people started doing this we would have to rethink the entire system from the ground up we would have to turn that back and as a matter of fact that day isn't it's not that far from the day. social networking sites continue to be relatively quiet on the issue if they use a security but with so much information readily available criminals will continue to exploit it cases like craig margins and event disparities won't be the last. it seems the only true solution to maintaining your privacy is to completely go offline.
