  Некоторые тезисы из работы по теме The study of privacy issues on the Internet
  The present paper is dedicated to the privacy issue on the Internet. “Information privacy denotes an individual’s right to decide what information is made available to others. Privacy is thus guaranteed only if individuals know that data are collected about them and if they have control over this data collection and the subsequent use of the data” (Pollach, 2011: 88).
  First, the paper analyzes different means of personal and financial information fraud, such as phishing, pharming, and account takeover (whose point is in stealing information on social security and credit card numbers, account numbers and passwords to use it for email forgery or / and opening new credit accounts to make purchases), suggesting recommendations to avoid falling victim to stealing the information on consumer and E-business level, as well as on service institutions level.
