Abstract

According to previous research, a method of decision-making on counteraction to information threats of virtual communities based on identifying the information threat index that uses the virtual community value was developed in the paper.

It proposes two approaches to determining the critical value of the virtual community for the information threat index, namely based on expert assessment of the number of virtual community participants, at which information threat is realized without taking into account the content quality and structure of relations in the virtual community; critical value of the virtual community relative to the total number of destructive and competing virtual community participants who are interested in this topic considering the content quality and structure of relations of discussions in these virtual communities.

To determine the threat information of the virtual community, a threat model was developed. According to the information threat indexes, recommendations for counteraction to information threats of the virtual community were provided.
