Cyber Security and Privacy Protection During Coronavirus Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has brought a new reality to people around the world, who are facing uncertainty, fear of disease, sudden change of habits and lifestyles, while physical distance, social isolation, restriction of freedom of movement, mandatory self-isolation and other health measures during the epidemic instructed people to transfer their everyday habbits and professional obligations to cyberspace. The right to privacy is one of the fundamental human rights, which is recognized by the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other international and regional treaties. This right includes privacy of personal data or information, the protection of human body, protection of personal living space and the privacy of communications. Data security aims to ensure that any personal information that is collected, used, or stored is protected from unauthorized use. In order to fight Covid-19, the laws on the state of emergency are promulgated in the countries of Central and Southeast Europe, which has led to an increasing number of arbitrary arrests, surveillance, wiretapping and violations of privacy.
