News. At the beginning of 2014, there were already attempts to introduce laws in Ukraine that would restrict the Internet space, introduce site blocking in a package with other innovations to restrict freedom of speech and civic activity, directly copied from similar regressive Russian legislative norms.
Does this mean that Ukraine also wants to introduce a model of regulation of the Internet space that is identical to the Russian one; by blocking hundreds of thousands of respectable Internet resources that are completely unrelated to prohibited topics, by expanding the criteria for prohibited information globally, they can harm network users and the IT industry? In October, recruitment for the cyber police, a special department that will replace the current department for combating cybercrime, began actively. A lot of materials have appeared on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, which speak about the gradual transformation of the current model of the unit into the latest police body that can instantly respond to cybercrime and threats. In less than a day from the start of accepting applications for the position of cyber police, about 3,000 Ukrainians applied.
Every day this news gets more and more details. Already on October 26, the certification of those who have applied for work in the new department for combating crime in cyberspace will be held, and on November 5, the cyber police should officially start working.
As the speaker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Artem Shevchenko said earlier, the department expects that there will be about 10 thousand people who want to be online police officers. It is planned to recruit only 400 cyber policemen. It turns out that from this calculation, 25 candidates will apply for one vacant place. Current employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in turn, on the rights of anonymity, assure that there may be many times more people who want to become a cyber police officer – no one from the old department for combating online crime held a salary of 25-30 thousand hryvnias($1,100-1,300).
To the question why: the number of cybercrimes in the country is steadily increasing every year, hacking and email hacking, DDoS attacks and database theft have become more frequent.
As of October 19, according to the law enforcement agency, 6567 applications were submitted, including 2223 for the position of a special information technology agent and 4344 for the position of an inspector.
