  - Being designed primarily for survival in conditions of physical threats — such as the atomic bombings, the Internet is relatively poorly protected from the information threats of — such as hacking of servers
The inhabitants of the Web (including ordinary citizens), left without adequate technical, cultural and organizational support like hostages of attackers

Two main classes of threats

Threats divided into two main classes, depending on their impact on the mode of operation of technical equipment (devices and programs).

That is, the threat based on regular operation mode, we call regular, and the threat based on damaged mode we call haked.

In the first case, the operation usually corresponds to the concept creators and, in general, user expectations, but at the same time for one reason or another have an unpleasant for user effect.

For example, a letter sent to the correct addressee, on the way have been read by someone unauthorized.

In the second case, operation is broken, often malicious. The functionality does not match to the creator idea and to the user expectations. For example, on behalf of the user without his knowledge was sent a letter.

Regular

Modern technical means can help cope with them.

Haked

They in principle can not be finally defeated
- for any tricky protection sooner or later there will an attacker that is able to force the unit to operate abnormally
  - for example, using sophisticated means of influencing the node owner
They can not be defeated only by technical means
- the technical means necessary to combine with the specific culture of civil defense
  - including civil mutual aid
