“Kaspersky Lab” fears of the Internet extinction in 2014.

      The expert of “Kaspersky Lab” Aleksandr Gostev believes that the Internet in its usual global sense may disappear in 2014. According to him, the Internet will be substituted by dozens of separate national networks with limited access to foreign resources. Gostev recalled it that a closed network was inherent only to China in the past, but now a number of countries, including Russia, plan to limit the use of foreign services. Besides, Gostev predicted the increase in cybercrime and frauds on the Internet, in particular with Bitcoin currency.
