Internet illiteracy is a serious problem in Armenia, Samvel
Martirosyan, an information security expert has said.
At a news conference on Saturday, the expert spoke of safe and unsafe
connections to the virtual network, warning particularly against
the danger of WiFi internet access in cafes. He said such connection
often enables third person's access to one's computer data.
Martirosyan further spoke of the free information flow on the personal
pages of public figures. He noted in that connection that Yerevan
Mayor Karen Karapetyan's Facebook profile is among the most visited
pages on the popular social networking site, with many people posting
there photos and messages to raise awareness of the urgent problems
in the capital city (dead animal or tree cutting).
The expert said information security should not place restrictions
on civil freedom, but it should protect officials from being pursued
in social networks.
"That's a real problem around the world. The Azerbaijani intelligence
agents may use a beautiful lady's photo to draw out important
information from a vulnerable Armenian official," he added.
Martirosyan said false profiles do not normally have a long life as it
is possible to identify them by searching the persons named on Google.
