We all know about computer hacking, we know about malware and automated attacks, but there's a couple of others. One is child sexual exploitation offenses. One is pornography and image-based abuse, cyberbullying, harassment and stalking. These are all different. How they manifest themselves is all radically different. Okay? But the other one that's really intriguing is extremism and cyberterrorism, which also infects kids. It is one of the primary targets, which is the games. The games themselves, the conversations themselves for extremist groups, whether they be far on the right, that would be the right for you guys, and/or far on the left, it doesn't really matter. It became actually very popular in the early 2000s when Al-Qaeda started recruiting like-minded people using games.
Tom Arnold, a cybersecurity expert, is highlighting a critical gap in education: cybersafety for kids! We all know, that most schools fail to educate kids on the very important things, for example cyber security. With the latest discussions about all the perverts on Roblox, the question is really: is there a way to keep kids safe in the online environment, do we have to take away their independence and fun?
I explore this realm with Tom, who wrote a kid’s book on cybersecurity – „The Digital Detective: https://a.co/d/7ddvRfC“ - after his son was approached by a creep on Roblox. Tom is a lecturer at San Jose State and UNLV, co-founder of a company acquired by NCC Group, and Operations Manager at Cloud 10 Studios, and he shares his wisdom about how to empower kids to handle online threats. We talk about red flags, why it’s difficult to create a profile of the average predator online, and so much more.
Enjoy <3
