The Internet will only be the domestic network of countries in 2014

One of the most important features of the Internet is global, but it is possible that in 2014, the global Internet will be replaced by individual national networks, restricting access to foreign websites.

The statement was made available to the press by Alexander Gostev , an expert at Kaspersky Lab .

Currently, only China uses a " closed " national Internet, run by domestic servers, but some other countries, including Russia, have passed laws restricting work. use servers in foreign countries.

When referring to Bitcoin virtual currency, Gostev announced that this virtual currency could become popular among criminals next year. Bitcoin has surpassed the $ 1,000 mark for every bitcoin at the end of last November. According to Kaspersky's expert, Bitcoin will reach USD 2,000-3,000 in 2014. However, Gostev also believes that Bitcoin is too unstable and may fall rapidly at any time.

According to Gostev, hackers specializing in lightning attacks will be hired by corporations to attack competitors. Software developers and mobile applications may also be subject to more attacks next year.

Gostev believes that bad guys will continue to take advantage of vulnerabilities on Android and other platforms. On the " black market ", the iOS vulnerability costs $ 200,000, while the Android vulnerability costs $ 10,000.
