In the era of globalization, the rapid growth of the new technologies of information and the Internet creates a modern society corresponding to the term "Society of Information" or "Cyberspace". In this society huge potential and prospects for its members are created through the dissemination of information making use of the technological tools of computer science and the Internet. The information acquires utmost importance and its owner significant knowledge and power. For this reason, the information has to be especially protected if it includes specific personal data. With the present diplomatic work, initially the study of subjects relevant to the Internet (statistical figures, services of the Internet, positive and negative aspects, social networks) is attempted where the dynamics of the Internet is demonstrated and also the fact that it has become a basic contemporary means of communication. Afterwards, issues that concern the safety measures that should be taken in a computer system are mentioned. Ways of the violation of privacy on the Internet (malicious computational) as well as attacks that may generally arise in computer networks are documented. Next, ways of the protection of data that modern technology and the Legal Science, through the legislative frame which has been established not only in Europe but also in Greece, offer are proposed. There is also an extensive reference to independent authorities whose basic mission is the implementation of legal ordinances in regard to the protection of specific personal data. Finally, a drawing of conclusions about the level of protection of specific personal data being offered by modern technology and the implemented legislative frame is attempted.
