Vladimir Okhotnikov About Problems in Metaverses

Analyzing the latest data and observing the interest of large businesses, Vladimir Okhotnikov concludes in his article that metaverses will soon become publicly available to us. Almost all leading companies in the IT field have begun developing their virtual worlds. The digital environment will undergo significant changes in the near future.

The author believes that we cannot yet predict the nature of new virtual realities. Obviously, some of the problems will not be technical. The expert claims that there will be people who will use new opportunities for illegal purposes.

“It’s wonderful to live in a perfectly safe world, but we all know that this is not feasible. The history of mankind is filled with crimes from the earliest times to the present day,” notes Vladimir.

Vladimir Okhotnikov about modern Tortuga

In his analytical article, the author talks about the Internet with its “dark” side, and about metaverses that supposedly can adopt some of the negative features of virtual space. However, Vladimir does not make categorical statements, but rather emphasizes that we are talking about a new reality that is being built from scratch.

The expert says that metaverses provide a new springboard where virtual reality will begin to exist according to its own unique rules. The author emphasizes that, despite the availability of tools for creating virtual fakes, metaverses still operate with their own laws, which make them an environment that is different from the real world.

“Only the lack of inexpensive technologies separates us from a future in which the Darknet moves into the metaverses,” Okhotnikov sums up.

Vladimir Okhotnikov also emphasizes that attempts to hack mailboxes, social media accounts and credit cards are not surprising due to their widespread use. Millions of people are exposed to scammers every day. Therefore, the seeming security problems that are now a cause for concern will become commonplace in our new virtual world.

Manipulative approach and fraudulent activities

Vladimir considers the topic of social engineering. He points out that many have encountered phone scams, visited phishing sites and clicked on malicious links. In the Metaverses everything will be the same, except for the criminals who will have more advanced hacking tools.

Vladimir Okhotnikov further expresses his thoughts regarding electronic piracy. He concludes that the development of illegal content in metaverses is not currently relevant. However, Vladimir acknowledges the threat of token counterfeiting.

The author pays special attention to fraud and the fact that it will evolve. In his opinion, fraud will become even more intelligent due to the development of virtual reality technologies.

Scope of legal responsibility

The chapter examines the topic of jurisdiction, which is not so clear-cut at first glance. It is argued that the creation of decentralized metaverses is justified by their evolution. The policy of the US authorities in the field of management and control in this matter is considered, and the historical parallel with Bitcoin is analyzed.

“Decentralization is an exceptional phenomenon. This approach will help metaverses in the future remain free from external influence, form their own unique environment, and develop independent institutions,” sums up Vladimir.
