“…Whilst the evidence base is developing, potential interim cybersafety prevention approaches for neurorehabilitation professionals could include routinely discussing online risks to increase awareness and normalisation, discussing risk tolerance with the individual and their support network, providing hands-on and practical support for the specific social media and online activities relevant to the individual, encouraging and praising exhibited cybersafety behaviours and establishing trusted support people to assist if difficulties are encountered (Gould et al, 2021; Third, Forrest-Lawrence & Collier, 2014). As well as increasing the cybersafety of the individuals with ABI, clinicians and carers are akin to teachers in school settings who act as online safety role models, and as such also require early and ongoing cybersafety skill development (Walsh, Wallace, Ayling & Sondergeld, 2020). For individuals with ABI who become victim to a scam, treatment approaches recommended by experienced clinicians to have average likely effectiveness were referral to psychology, increased participation and increase insight and awareness.…”

Do we need to know about cyberscams in neurorehabilitation? A cross-sectional scoping survey of Australasian clinicians and service providers

Cyberscams, such as romance scams, are prevalent and costly online hazards in the general community. People with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) may be particularly vulnerable and have greater difficulty recovering from the resultant emotional and financial hardships. In order to build capacity in the neurorehabilitation sector, it is necessary to determine whether clinicians currently encounter this issue and what prevention and intervention approaches have been found effective. This scoping study aimed to explore clinicians’ exposure to and experiences with cyberscams in their adult clients with ABI. Method: Participants were clinicians recruited from multidisciplinary networks across Australia and New Zealand. Eligible participants (n = 101) completed an online customised survey. Results: More than half (53.46%) the participants had one or more clients affected by cyberscams, predominantly romance scams. Cognitive impairments and loneliness were reportedly associated with increased vulnerability. Cyberscams impacted treatment provision and were emotionally challenging for participants. No highly effective interventions were identified. Conclusions: These findings indicate that cyberscams are a clinical issue relevant to neurorehabilitation providers, with prevalence studies now required. The lack of effective interventions identified underscores the need for the development of evidence-based prevention and treatment approaches to ultimately help people with ABI safely participate in online life.

“…This global fund is managed by UNICEF, and its budget is proportionately distributed in line with the socio‐economic status and the national user base of k‐VApp in each country. As a result of the taxation, 100 million US dollars are transferred to UNICEF for managing the same project single‐handedly and simultaneously everywhere: raising awareness activities that aim to equip the children with the necessary knowledge to improve their online safety (Patterson et al, 2022; Walsh et al, 2022). Since young people in every corner of the world are exposed to an almost identical online threat landscape, self‐protection recommendations against such cyber menaces rarely diversify.…”

On a global child protection fund financed by international tech companies

Despite admirable in‐house efforts of international tech corporations, the heavy burden of online well‐being is tacitly placed on the shoulders of children and their parents at the moment. In addition, end‐to‐end encryption has almost become an absolute tech industry standard and alternative technical methods to identify child abuse incidents within an end‐to‐end encryption scheme met with privacy concerns such as Apple’s recent attempt on implementing ‘client‐side scanning’ into their phones. As a result, the technical capabilities of such companies to handle online child safety issues will be diminished considerably, and the tech industry will rely on user reporting and metadata analysis more than ever. To complement the current and forthcoming technical measures taken by international tech companies, not to replace them, this article introduces the non‐technical concept of a global child protection fund. This fund would be financed by a small, fixed tax rate on the yearly net corporate earnings of these companies to support capacity‐building programs for online child sexual abuse worldwide, developing countries in particular. The global fund would be managed by UNICEF in close coordination with global and local stakeholders, and it would be proportionately distributed among the beneficiaries in line with the socio‐economic level and the national user base of each tech company. After a brief introduction to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and CSR tax, the article will elaborate on its proposed model with some base assumptions to make it easier for the readers to comprehend the conceptual aspects. Then, it will discuss which substantial challenges it could face in real life and speculate to what extent the ethical and practical foundations of this model could be applied to alleviate the global inequalities in other areas.

“…Digital literacy has an important role in preventing cybercrime, including (1) Digital literacy provides basic skills of digital citizenship, internet safety and media literacy 8 ; (2) e-Safety education is a strategy to raise awareness and improve online safety 9 ; (3) With digital literacy, children can prevent the negative impacts of internet use 10 ; Digital literacy is needed to reduce the risk of the online teaching and learning process 11 . Meanwhile, education is an important part of preventing and changing behavior (Walsh et al, 2020) 12 . Therefore, organizing a digital literacy training program that focuses on digital security is necessary.…”

Digital literacy has an important role in preventing cybercrime. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to increase public awareness of using the internet safely, positively and creatively. This PKM activities is a form of my participation as one of the speakers in the series of events "National Digital Literacy Movement" held by Ministry of Communication and Information of Republic of Indonesia (Kemkominfo) in collaboration with Siber Kreasi and Kemkominfo with House of Representative of Republic of Indonesia (DPR-RI). There are three Webinars discussed in this article. The target audience for the first meeting was the General Public in Pidie Regency, Aceh Province . The target audience for the second and third meetings was the General Public in Bandung and Cimahi of Indonesia. The technique of delivering training material used is lecture. The evaluation parameters in this Webinar are seen from the relevance of the Webinar participants' questions to the training material, feedback or responses to the training material, responses to the answers from the speaker and the enthusiasm of the Webinar participants. Based on my observations during the Webinar, the target audience seemed enthusiastic about participating in the training, understanding the training material and realizing that it is important to grow internet safely, positively and creatively from childhood.
