Abstract:
this article analyzes the essence and conceptual foundations of
the concept of cyber security and the emerging risks and threats associated with
digitization in the third millennium.
Key words:
information, information inequality, cyber security, security,
information security, threat, cyber war.
We will list and briefly describe the new problems, threats and dangers
that are waiting for man in the information society and are beginning to face him
today.
1. Information inequality. One of the dangers for people in the information
society is the problem of information inequality. Factors of social division are
accumulation, generation, use of knowledge. Not all members of the information
society can make practical use of the new opportunities it can give to people. In
addition, this includes not only economic and instrumental-technogenic factors,
but also the ability to provide some users with access to society's informatics
and information resources, but also humanitarian factors, which mainly depend
on the unique qualities of a person. Such factors include: informational,
including the linguistic culture of a person, informational competence,
education, as well as human motivation, the desire for knowledge and self-study,
and the development of intellectual abilities. After all, if a person does not want
to be an active member of the information society, then no technology will help
him.
The availability of information reduces the motivation to create new
knowledge, to develop new ways of knowing. Rejection of knowledge due to its
increase in size indicates that internal personal structures are not ready for
increased loads. This is manifested in the lack of skills to assess the quality,
volume and depth of the received information, which leads to an increase in
social inequality[1].
2. Mind manipulation. The second and very serious threat to man in the
information society is related to the fact that the development of global
networks of television, computer communication, radio communication and
other information systems creates many opportunities to influence and
manipulate the public mind. By their mental nature, people are very suggestible

and therefore easily subject to targeted psychological influence at the sub
conscious level and therefore easily subject to targeted psychological influence
at the sub conscious level. This feature is used to control a large number of
people, to create illusions, to secretly deprive them of freedom of choice, to
change their minds, to motivate people in the right (some group) direction[2].
Manipulation of mass consciousness is the main element of information warfare
and is basically the same as introduction to individual consciousness. prepared
information. Its effectiveness is reliable and clearly visible. For example, the
results of election campaigns for various authorities, as well as the extensive use
of very expensive advertising in television programs, are clearly visible.
Research results show that television has the strongest psychological impact on
a person. The reason is that video information, in addition to affecting the
human mind, also directly penetrates into his subjectivity. In addition, the
person himself is not worried about it and therefore cannot protect himself from
this influence. This is, to a large extent, the basis of the modern methodology of
mind manipulation[3].
With a universal means of information dissemination such as the Internet,
the technologies of mass mind manipulation are developing rapidly and often
have a positive effect, even on people with developed critical thinking, from a
completely unexpected side. Ordinary people with an average level of education
and cultural development are more and more exposed to this effect, after which
an epiphany occurs.
3. Virtualization of society. Another, still little-studied danger for humans
in the information society is a psychological phenomenon called virtualization of
society. Its essence is that real physical objects, processes and events are
replaced by virtual images that are very similar to echoes of objective reality, but
are not. These features, as well as the high dynamism of society's information
framework, allow creating virtual reality in it. It is perceived by man, along with
physical reality. A typical example here can be the so-called derivatives, that is,
securities on the stock market, as well as the new virtual currency - bitcoin.
Speculative exchange of shares of industrial corporations, appreciation or
depreciation of exchange rates in creative financial markets - all these are widely
used in the world economy today and, as the analysis shows, they threaten the
sustainable development of society[4].
The virtualization of the social space and constant interference in the lives
of other people with the help of social networks paradoxically leads to an
increase in the feeling of loneliness "in the crowd".

4. Cyber diseases. In the information society, another completely new
threat to man is called cyber-disease. These include people's psychological
dependence on television, computer games, Internet addiction, and others,
which have already become a drug for many in modern society. The maniacal
fascination of some young people with computer games promoting cruelty and
violence is also frightening. These phenomena are the most common in
information-developed countries today, and are one of the negative results of
the process of informatization of society. It can be considered that these events
will also develop as this process develops. Already, not only addiction is
developing, but symptoms of more serious diseases appear, for example,
phantom ringing syndrome - it seems to a person that the phone in his bag is
ringing or vibrating. Another example of a new disease. Nomophobia -
"Nomobilephobia" - fear of being without a mobile phone. Researchers explain
the causes of this disease as a result of nervousness when a person is afraid of
losing something.
5. Information crime. The formation of the information society opens
many opportunities for the development of information crime, which can be
directed against the individual, society and the state. This is called computer
crime, which is mainly aimed at unauthorized access to the databases of
automated information systems of government bodies, financial organizations
and industrial enterprises. In these systems, in the process of informing the
society, a large amount of confidential information is collected not only about
the activities of relevant organizations, but also about personal information
about citizens of the country, their addresses, phone numbers, property, income,
etc. This information is of course of great interest to criminals. and many of them
already use the services of information technology professionals.
6. Information extremism. A sign of informational extremism is physical,
material, and moral damage to the legal interests, rights and freedoms of
citizens, it is emphasized in the study of R.V. Upornikov [5].
The main characteristic features of informational extremism can be
mentioned: the radicality of actions; fight against society; the spirituality and
immorality of the content; institutionality; distortion of political and legal
thinking.
It is important that the information on the Internet is presented not only
in the form of a static "picture", but also that it is characterized by activity, says
researcher A.Kh. Valeev[6].

The volume and speed of information flow is attractive to organizers of
information extremism. They actually "engage" Internet users in various debates
and discussions with the specific goal of changing personal opinions, ideologies,
principles, worldviews, and leading to changes in individual or group behavior,
as well as creating public opinion that is beneficial to the influential party.
"In the conditions of globalization and the informatization of society, when
the obstacles in the control and management of information flows are practically
removed, when the national borders of the states are raised to the level, mainly
communicatively, the former tremist actions of young people are adopted to
influence the minds and behavior of young people," it is said. In the researches of
E. O. Kubyakin and A. N. Safronov [7].
One of the important factors of extremist communication in the
information field is the phenomenon of spreading rumors. According to E.M.
Kulikov, rumors can be divided into two types: spontaneously occurring and
creatively created[8]. Spontaneous rumors on important topics are "fruits of folk
creativity". Based on political issues, ethnic and religious themes. Creatively
created rumors are a clear technology of information warfare (microblogging is
now a popular form of "propaganda"). You can agree with the researchers that
the social network "Vkontakte" allows you to quickly create a group and quickly
spread the information of any content using "reposts" and "likes".
As the researcher V. A. Diehl (V. A. Diehl) noted, the spread of information
extremism led to a change in the structure of extremist groups [9]. The "vertical"
type of structure (usually headed by one leader) is replaced by the "network"
type: there can be several leaders who have separate funds and cover very large
territories (be international).
The active development of information extremism is facilitated by the
situation when an information event carries a mass information virus[10].
Modern man is faced with a situation where the information about the disgraced
actions is more and more focused on the names (nationalities) of the
participants, thus the event is interpreted "completely" with a nationalist tone. A
"hidden" message, which is more widely spread by social networks, is filled with
comments, and is considered by the individual as his own conclusion. We can
agree with the researchers that the difficulty (or impossibility) of objective
assessment of the received data, personal verification and, as a result, believing
it, contribute to the influence of extremist ideas. At the same time, the
strengthening factor is the use of ideas that are important to a person: a healthy
lifestyle, family, faith, etc. The spectrum of communicative phenomena is very

wide, notes the researcher A.Kh. Valeev, it is the promotion of the values of the
consumer society, the promotion of beauty, hedonism and radical political
projects.
7. Information terrorism. The concentration of information in automated
information banks, which provides remote access to users, is one of the
important directions of the process of informatization of society, as it
significantly increases the efficiency of information use. However, at the same
time, the possibility of unauthorized access to this data, as well as the risks
associated with its theft and even intentional corruption, are also increasing. A
new phenomenon in the field of information crime is information terrorism. As a
result, the operation of the information system can be practically paralyzed.
Most often, this situation occurs as a result of specially organized large-scale
network attacks. In recent years, these attacks have been repeatedly observed
using the opportunities. To solve such problems, a relatively new direction of
ensuring the protection of individual information rights is developing. Such
rights are already protected by the laws of a number of countries, including
Russia, but the perfection and simplification of the protection procedures is still
a long way off.
8. The battle for information. Among the threats of the information society,
a very special place is occupied by information warfare, the methods and tools of
which are already well developed in theoretical and practical aspects.
Information wars are already a very common and effective method of conflict in
politics, economy and culture. In the future, with the development of the tools
and institutions of the information society, it can be assumed that information
wars will become more widespread both locally and globally.
In conclusion, in order not to get attached to information, first of all, it is
necessary to pay attention to the source of information. It is necessary to make
sure of the reliability (scientific, spiritual, cultural), correctness (including
historical) of the offered information. For this, acquiring knowledge, teaching to
compare the proposed information with previously known information, and to
selectively accept information is an important pedagogical problem. From this
point of view, the motivational, adaptation to the environment, reflexivity
pedagogical-psychological features of protection of students from the threat of
harmful information were determined on the basis of systematization of close
adults and social factors.
