This book introduces and presents the newest up-to-date methods, approaches and technologies on how to detect child cyberbullying on social media as well as monitor kids E-learning, monitor games designed and social media activities for kids. On a daily basis, children are exposed to harmful content online. There have been many attempts to resolve this issue by conducting methods based on rating and ranking as well as reviewing comments to show the relevancy of these videos to children; unfortunately, there still remains a lack of supervision on videos dedicated to kids. This book also introduces a new algorithm for content analysis against harmful information for kids. Furthermore, it establishes the goal to track useful information of kids and institutes detection of kid’s textual aggression through methods of machine and deep learning and natural language processing for a safer space for children on social media and online and to combat problems, such as lack of supervision, cyberbullying, kid’s exposure to harmful content. This book is beneficial to postgraduate students and researchers' concerns on recent methods and approaches to kids' cybersecurity.

International Security and the Olympic Games, 1972–2020 by Austin Duckworth Pdf

Drawing on new archival documents and interviews, this book demonstrates the evolving role of international politics in Olympic security planning. Olympic security concerns changed forever following the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) choice to ignore security after the attack in Munich left individual Olympic Games Organizing Committees to organize, fund, and provide security for the major international event. Future Olympic hosts planned security amidst increasing numbers of international terrorist attacks, and with the Cold War in full swing. For some Olympic hosts, Olympic security now represented their nation’s largest ever military operations. By the time the IOC made security more of a priority in the early 1980s, the trends in Olympic security were set for the future.

Learning to Drive on the Internet Superhighway by Harry Jordon Pdf

Love and peace driven by cross-cultural weddings and music like those of the Beatles and Pink Floyd of the ’60s is being forgotten in the Twitter and Facebook era of today. Good habits created through wisdom passed down by elders and extended families over breakfast and dinner are being taken over by bad habits being learned on the internet over those same meals. Special occasions like the 2020 Valentine’s Day was devoted to such extreme internet posts from White House to university students, instead of, say, addressing coronavirus or climate change that one can only wonder what medicine these people take and what is happening within their households and marriages today. The World Wide Web has become like the Wild West of western books. An equivalent of the coronavirus is also being spread through the internet. Besides affecting our mental health, it is also affecting our planet. What’s remarkable is not how much pollution went down during the pandemic lockdown, but how little. Other factors impacting climate change besides carbon emissions have been discussed in this book. Simulation involving additional households willing to do clinical-trial studies on a larger scale will be needed for the next phase. Diet, air-conditioning, and the internet may be the most neglected factors as climate change modelers attempt to figure out why events that were supposed to happen eighty years from 2008 are happening today. Besides improving health and wealth of individuals, organizations, and countries, the home-wellness program provided here can help achieve universal health-care coverage for a fraction of what it would cost today. It will also help reduce deficits and extend our planet’s life by another one hundred years. Drawing on Einstein’s famous e = mc2 equation, the book demonstrates how increase in economic stimulus (c2) is reducing the life (m) of our planet. Scientists and climate change experts are now saying the planet may have only twenty-five years remaining before it becomes uninhabitable. New cross-country models for driving change need. This can be done using 3P simplification for currency tracing for medical tourism. It needs to prevent another pandemic from happening again. It needs to be scalable for an Interstellar movie-type solution since our planet is dying.

Sandworm by Andy Greenberg Pdf

"With the nuance of a reporter and the pace of a thriller writer, Andy Greenberg gives us a glimpse of the cyberwars of the future while at the same time placing his story in the long arc of Russian and Ukrainian history." —Anne Applebaum, bestselling author of Twilight of Democracy The true story of the most devastating act of cyberwarfare in history and the desperate hunt to identify and track the elite Russian agents behind it: "[A] chilling account of a Kremlin-led cyberattack, a new front in global conflict" (Financial Times). In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses—from drug manufacturers to software developers to shipping companies. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark. NotPetya spread around the world, inflicting an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage—the largest, most destructive cyberattack the world had ever seen. The hackers behind these attacks are quickly gaining a reputation as the most dangerous team of cyberwarriors in history: a group known as Sandworm. Working in the service of Russia's military intelligence agency, they represent a persistent, highly skilled force, one whose talents are matched by their willingness to launch broad, unrestrained attacks on the most critical infrastructure of their adversaries. They target government and private sector, military and civilians alike. A chilling, globe-spanning detective story, Sandworm considers the danger this force poses to our national security and stability. As the Kremlin's role in foreign government manipulation comes into greater focus, Sandworm exposes the realities not just of Russia's global digital offensive, but of an era where warfare ceases to be waged on the battlefield. It reveals how the lines between digital and physical conflict, between wartime and peacetime, have begun to blur—with world-shaking implications.
