Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper discusses cybersecurity for children (particularly teenagers) and focuses on Social Media’s impact using a theoretical approach. Many social media users are unaware of their Cybersecurity in Social Media and all-round digital privacy and do not understand the importance of developing privacythrough taking both digital and physical measures. We identify seven categories of hacking motivations through multimedia platforms: Emotions, Financial gains, Entertainment, Proficiency for jobs, Hacktivism, Espionage, and Cyber-warfare, particularly for children. As vulnerable people, they can be the principal victims. We explore various methods used for hacking, such as Sexting, Facebook depression, and Influence on buying advertisements. In our findings, we demonstrate that the most critical protection method is to fully understand the digital footprint left behind and its possible consequences. The users should know this as a self-protection mechanism to mitigate security issues before problems occur. It means adopting the same mindset and attitude of protecting oneself in the online world as in the real world.

儿童网络安全:社交媒体应用调查

摘要本文讨论了儿童（尤其是青少年）的网络安全问题，并运用理论方法重点研究了社交媒体的影响。许多社交媒体用户不知道他们在社交媒体中的网络安全和全面的数字隐私，也不理解通过采取数字和物理措施来发展隐私的重要性。我们通过多媒体平台确定了七类黑客动机：情感、经济收益、娱乐、工作能力、黑客主义、间谍活动和网络战，尤其是针对儿童的。作为弱势群体，他们可能是主要受害者。我们探索了各种用于黑客攻击的方法，如性骚扰、脸书抑郁症和对购买广告的影响。在我们的研究结果中，我们证明了最关键的保护方法是充分了解留下的数字足迹及其可能的后果。用户应该知道这是一种自我保护机制，可以在出现问题之前缓解安全问题。这意味着在网络世界和现实世界中采取同样的心态和态度来保护自己。

期刊介绍： Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) focusses on both the technical and applications aspects of EIS technology, and the complex and cross-disciplinary problems of enterprise integration that arise in integrating extended enterprises in a contemporary global supply chain environment. Techniques developed in mathematical science, computer science, manufacturing engineering, and operations management used in the design or operation of EIS will also be considered.
