Abstract

U radu se opisuju oblici prijevara na internetu, te kakvi se sve i na kakav način koriste razni tipovi dostupnih alata u takvim postupcima. U sklopu toga, objašnjavaju se najčešći primjeri takvih prijevara koje dolaze putem e-pošte ili drugih kanala, kao i zakonski okviri izvan kojih operiraju i pomoću kojih izbjegavaju kazne, a ujedno se skreće pažnja i na korake koje pojedinac može poduzeti kako bi takvo što spriječio. Također, ukazuje se na opasnost uporabe tzv. „deepfake“ tehnologije u svrhu obmane javnosti i širenja lažnih vijesti i propagande kao jedan od načina prevare korisnika interneta. Isto tako, opisuje se korištenje navedene tehnologije u političke svrhe, njezina primjena u budućnosti i sažetak najboljih načina kako raspoznati što je „deepfake“ video, a što nije. Kao još jedan od načina Internet prijevara u novije doba, spomenute su i neke kriptovalute i NFT-ovi koji u posljednje vrijeme rastu u popularnosti pod krinkom moguće „brze zarade“.
