THE ROLE OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
IN OBTAINING INFORMATION
Edina Albininé Budavári and Received: 30th December 2019. ABSTRACT One of the basic components of the smart city concept is the infocommunication infrastructure. The purpose of the infocommunication system is, among others, to transmit information. Generally, besides the necessary information provided in a transmission, some additional information is displayed as well. In public communication the destination of the information is not a specific person or object. Therefore, additional information can be obtained by anyone. Thus, such additional information facilitates the unwanted acquisition of information and its later use. The present study illustrates the role of additional information in obtaining information through an example of an online game. This game is public, therefore, it is an open source of information. The technology of Open Source Intelligence is one of the basic elements of the social engineering information palette. KEY WORDS CLASSIFICATION
