Short video apps notified This is not the first time that the relevant national authorities have notified the app to collect and use personal information in violation of laws and regulations. On the 1st and 10th of this month, the State Cyberspace Administration of China reported 33 and 84 apps of different categories with the same problems. For a long time, the special management of the illegal collection and use of personal information by apps has been one of the focuses of the daily work of multiple departments. In the era of big data, personal information is the most important information asset. Any market entity that owns information assets, even if it does not use the data for software development and operation, can still profit from it only through authorized use or sale of the information. It can be said that in the information age, rich and specific information samples are precious capital and resources. The development of big data is the general trend of science and technology, and it is natural not to waste food due to choking, but the trouble that big data brings to people is just like a throat. Therefore, while enjoying the technological dividends brought by big data, people have never stopped the debate about “data for good” or “data for evil”. But in fact, there is no such thing as “good” or “evil” in the data itself. The “good” and “evil” of data technology products are purely the “productization” of the values ​​and ethics of data product developers. To correct the “evil” orientation of products, it is necessary to restrict these products and trace back to the developer’s responsibility, so as to stop evil and promote good. The development of the digital economy is inseparable from the reasonable and legal use of personal information. “Data for good” is the result of the reasonable and legal use of personal information. Facts have proved that “data for good” will not be realized automatically. Any “good” development is the result of laws and regulations, and the result of effective supervision by regulatory agencies. The content of this official notification is only the issue of the illegal collection and use of personal information by the App. However, how to deal with the personal information collected through illegal methods does not appear in the official notification. The cross-border fraud calls that people generally receive, and the precise advertising pushes they receive from social tools, all use personal information that has been collected and stored in the database. Whether these massive amounts of data can be stored encrypted, never leaked, and strictly used, as stated by the market subject to which the App belongs, is usually impossible to verify. In this regard, in addition to Continue to strengthen market supervision of apps In addition to Strengthen coordination on laws and regulations , Systematize the “Civil Code” and other legal systems related to citizens’ personal information rights and interests, block the gaps between laws, and prevent “evil” apps from exploiting legal loopholes. In the era of big data, individual citizens have certain technical difficulties to protect personal information. This difficulty is reflected in the asymmetry between App users and App developers in terms of technology and other market resources. This also means that The most effective way to protect personal information is still the due diligence of the market supervision department, and the “Personal Information Protection Law” that is still under formulation also needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

A wake-up call about SMALL governance Recently, on social networks in Vietnam, a computer screen shot of a famous artist’s NH account statement related to the incident has attracted a lot of public opinion. Although NH has admitted that its employees spread the word, this is a wake-up call for those working in the banking sector, as well as the leaders of these organizations. In the era of information technology, customer data security can be said to be the most important for banks. Previously, the prestige of the banks was in the solidity of the safes, which were dug deep in the tunnels, through many layers of thick steel doors, resistant to fire and explosion and even earthquakes. Today it is the NH’s security system. Because most assets and liabilities are stored in the form of numbers, lines of data. The disclosure of customer data is often considered an accident of the security system, due to unintentional human error, or due to an external attack. But security risks do not only come from information technology systems. There are three places where security risks arise, that is from a governance perspective in relation to processes, monitoring, information systems, and operations. The above incident shows an error in the operation of the staff, related to the management of the bank. Normally, when signing a work contract, in the contract terms, of course, there must be things that employees must not do, not to mention the business ethics of the industry. And so this is not entirely the fault of the staff, NH is also responsible for regular training, as well as supervision. The consequences of customer data being disclosed are serious on several levels. For example, the bank must be responsible for the damages incurred because the customer account is attacked individually, or the entire information system of the bank is the prey of hackers. Equally important damage is the reputation of NH. As a customer, no one wants to send money or do business with NH but “house” is loose. The more important partners are not. NH is also confused Customer data in banks is the survival of banks. Security is the new generation of “safes”, and the prestige lies in the system, as well as the consciousness and skills of the key holders. In the matter of customer data, banks also have a big confusion between needing a lot of customer data (KYC), security and customer privacy (privacy). Banks themselves also need a lot of KYC, not only to manage risks, but also to develop services to provide to customers, especially cross-selling and value-added services. State regulatory agencies also require banks to perform KYC, mainly for the purpose of anti-money laundering and illegal activities. But when customer data increases, integration from many sources, many systems with heterogeneous standards or formats, is a huge challenge for NH’s information system. Because the more sources, the more “entrances” there are more exposed points, many places can be hacked. The collection of customer data is also met with a certain reaction from them because of privacy. In many developed countries, such as Europe with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 aka GDPR, there is a huge shift from service providers in general and the sector. NH in particular. There are data, currently NH wants to collect the consent of customers. In short, customer data in banks is the survival of banks. The security is a new generation “safe” form, and the prestige lies in the system, as well as the consciousness and skills of the key holders. Domestic banks need to pay attention In terms of customer data security risks, domestic banks compete with each other in technology and there is almost no big difference between banks in the same group, for example, large banks have enough resources to Get the best system. Even later banks have an advantage because technology costs decrease over time. The problem for data security, therefore, mainly lies in the management system of the bank, as well as in the daily operation. In administration, besides processes and monitoring systems, leaders’ awareness of security issues is extremely important. Not only investing properly for the information technology system, leaders must always closely monitor this issue, considering this as their important task. Therefore, there is a need for consistent direction and coordination between the banks’ departments, considering this as the core activity of the bank. In the course of daily operations, it is the awareness and skills of the employees. Periodic and continuous training is absolutely necessary for all employees, especially functions and positions of authority. If the employee is aware of the seriousness of the disclosure of the customer’s account, no employee would dare to act so impulsively, not to mention, besides internal handling, it may also be involved in legal regulations .

Accordingly, the subjects in this line have illegally collected, appropriated, bought, sold and used nearly 1.3 thousand GB of data containing billions of information about individuals and organizations nationwide. The dismantling of the above-mentioned large-scale data collection, appropriation and trading line shows the efforts of the police sector in strictly dealing with the theft and illegal use of personal data for handling. according to the provisions of law, creating a deterrent; and at the same time prevent cybercriminals from taking advantage of this information to commit fraud, appropriate property and limit the use of personal information to send spam messages, make “terrible” calls. dad” advertising… It is worth noting that the personal information being traded in the above line is the customers of the banks; power companies, finance, securities, insurance; electronics and fashion stores; services: spa, dental, beauty salon… There is even a list of parents, students, household registration, phone subscribers… Thereby showing that, in order to obtain the personal data of users, in addition to the sophisticated tricks of the perpetrators, there is also the subjectivity and neglect of many people in the security of personal information. Currently, many people are willing to provide personal information (name, address, phone number, email …) to participate in promotions, sweepstakes, purchase online… helping the subjects steal information easily. Therefore, in addition to the investigation and handling of the subjects who steal and illegally use personal information, in order to protect themselves, each individual must raise the awareness of protecting personal data, do not provide information easily, avoid becoming a victim of fraudsters or being bothered by unwanted messages and phone calls.

Police of Thanh Xuan district (Hanoi) carry out procedures to issue citizen identification cards with chips for people. Photo: DANG ANH Over the past time, functional agencies in provinces and cities across the country have been actively implementing the issuance and exchange of citizen identification cards (CCCDs) with electronic chips, in order to achieve the goal by January 1. From 7-2021, 50 million cards will be issued. CCCD cards with electronic chips are considered an inevitable trend, in order to keep up with the current 4.0 technology trend along with the State’s efforts in reducing administrative procedures, contributing to the drastic reform of management. , creating favorable conditions, helping people to carry out administrative procedures and civil transactions… However, instead of supporting a right policy, some subjects sought to oppose and take advantage of them. social networks to attack, distort, and give false information to confuse public opinion about the issuance and change of CCCD… On September 3, 2020, the Prime Minister signed Decision No. 1368/QD-TTg approving the investment policy of production projects, granting and managing citizen identity, which defines the objectives of the project. The project is: Building a unified CCCD database nationwide, collecting and managing CCCD registration data automatically on information technology infrastructure to help store, retrieve, share, find information quickly and conveniently; improve the efficiency of state management of CCCD, create favorable conditions for citizens while carrying out administrative procedures and civil transactions; towards building e-Government, creating a breakthrough in socio-economic development of the whole country; contribute effectively to the fight against crime… If compared with the current ID card and CCCD, we will see that the chip-mounted CCCD has outstanding advantages. Specifically, each card is integrated with 20 residential data fields related to each individual with many accompanying applications such as: digital signature application, biometric application, one-time password application, lowering public key layer,… thereby allowing users to connect to public and private services quickly and conveniently. Not only that, the chip-mounted CCCD is manufactured using modern technology, is flexible in changing and adding personal information, has high security, helps to identify and identify accurately, so it minimizes the risk. theft or forgery to use for dark purposes. Now with the new CCCD when making transactions, individuals will not need to carry many documents (for example household registration, birth certificate, marriage registration, …) because this information is already available. stored and integrated in the card. Thanks to that, everyone has the conditions to make transactions quickly and conveniently, reducing travel time and costs for backing up and notarizing documents… Therefore, it can be affirmed that the CCCD card with a chip is a step forward in applying science and technology to state management activities, helping administrative reform effectively. This is also an important basis contributing to the realization of the goal of building an e-Government that the Party and State are setting, and the people are the beneficiaries. Not to mention, in the context of the strong development of the 4th industrial revolution, when the trend of digital transformation takes place in all fields, it becomes even more necessary to make CCCD cards with electronic chips. , contributing to the country’s quick access to the development trend in the world. In fact, the use of a chip-mounted CCCD card is the optimal choice in many countries. Statistics from the authorities show that there are about 70 countries using this card, even some countries have used CCCD chips since the 90s of the last century. Along with the development of science and technology, chip cards are increasingly effective in social life. In Estonia (Etonia), since 2002, the country has been using a chip-based CCCD card for people called ID Kaart to replace traditional identification documents. Since then, the Kaart ID has been used by people in this country to identify identities, health checks, vote elections, business registration, … as well as perform other electronic transactions. Not to mention, ID Kaart can also replace passports when people travel within the country, as well as to EU countries (European Union – European Union). Continuing to upgrade to increase security and maximize use efficiency, in September 2018, Estonian authorities put into application the Smart-ID digital identification system (providing and verifying digital identity). digital identity) using a chip that uses 384-bit ECC public key encryption and a QR Code (quick response code) for the Kaart ID. This country has set a target that by 2025 the number of e-citizens will reach 10 million, 8 times higher than the current population. Similar to Estonia, Argentina’s (Argentine) chip CCCD card named DNI integrates a lot of personal information, including credit account information. Or the CCCD card of Malaysia (Malaysia) is MyKad which integrates personal information such as passport, driver’s license, health information, … and also has the functions of electronic wallet, access ATM card access, mobile applications and PKI (for electronic transactions). Every Malaysian citizen is issued a MyKad card, but it is divided into three groups, including: MyPR (Malaysian permanent resident), MyKas (short-term resident of Malaysia) and MyKid (Malaysian citizen under 12 years old) year old). In many other countries, the CCCD chip card also integrates information related to the driver’s license (such as in Germany, Turkey, Argentina…), thereby helping to significantly reduce traffic violations; or people can use the CCCD chip in public, administrative and social services (such as in Japan, Korea,…). Grasping that inevitable trend, based on the existing conditions in terms of human resources, material resources and science – technology, in 2021, the issuance of CCCD card with official chip will be implemented synchronously by Vietnam on a large scale. country. In order to effectively implement this policy, propaganda has been promoted in the mass media. The functional agencies actively went to the villages and hamlets to mobilize people to make cards. In some agencies, units, schools, the issuance and replacement of CCCD cards is done on the spot. In localities, registered people have been given timed tickets, helping to reduce travel and waiting time. Even in some areas, the police in charge of the area also texted, went to each house to urge the card making. In many places, card making is done 24 hours a day to create the best conditions for people, especially those who are busy working during office hours, working in shifts, so time is tight… However, with the available dark purpose, the desire to restrain the development of Vietnam, the hostile forces and a number of organizations and individuals with a lack of goodwill immediately considered the implementation of the chip-based CCCD card. an opportunity to conduct countermeasures. With a hostile and extreme attitude, some subjects immediately posted misleading information and images. They blatantly claim that the installation of chips on CCCD cards is for the State to strengthen control over people, people lose their freedoms and have their privacy violated. Even blatantly slandered with the issuance of CCCD cards this time, people turned into “herd animals”, or compared “in some advanced countries, electronic chips are often attached to prisoners to serve prison sentences. stay at home”, thereby loudly saying that this is a sign of loss of “democracy and human rights”, calling on people not to cooperate with authorities, not to make CCCD cards with chips. Notably, some people because of lack of information and ignorance have rushed to believe and follow, continue to spread misinformation, malicious rumors, thereby arousing suspicion, confusion, Doubt in public opinion… It must be said that, whether intentionally distorting or unconsciously, such acts have hindered the implementation of a correct policy of the State. In order to promptly correct the above negative manifestations, in the past time, some individuals who have reported falsely about making CCCD cards with chips have been handled in accordance with the law. As at the end of last April, the police of Dak Lak province summoned Bui Thi Thanh T. (Hoa Thang commune, Buon Ma Thuot city) for posting incorrect comments about the job of CCCD. At the police station, T. admitted his work was against the law, so he deleted the comment and pledged not to repeat the offense. This is an example that people have to be very vigilant, if they don’t want to abet law violations, they need to be alert to inaccurate information, especially information of a deductive and fabricated nature. unfounded. Every citizen should always be aware and believe that the Vietnamese Party and State always strives for the legitimate rights and interests of the people. Article 3 of the Constitution (added and amended in 2013) affirms: “The State ensures and promotes the people’s right to mastery; recognize, respect, protect and guarantee human and citizen rights; realize the goal of rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization, where everyone has a prosperous, free and happy life and has conditions for comprehensive development. This principle has always been consistently expressed in all lines and guidelines of the Party, and policies and laws of the State. Attaching electronic chips to CCCD cards, too, is a policy in line with the development trend of the country, the provisions of the law, and ensuring the information security of all people. The electronic chip on the CCCD card is not for locating, not infringing on the freedom of movement and privacy of each individual. When the card is lost, due to the identification control mechanism, personal information is not disclosed, only the cardholder can activate and use it. With a clear awareness of this issue, each individual will have the right behavior, believe and seriously implement the policy of the State. It is also a practical way to protect individual and community interests and contribute to the country’s socio-economic development.

Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide speaks at the National Assembly. (Photo: Kyodo) Congress Japan on May 12 passed a law that will create a new government agency next September, with the function of promoting digital apps . The new agency will have about 500 people, of which 120 include information technology engineers. Under the new law, the government will remove personal seals (also known as hanko) from official documents and allow the use of digital data instead of paper documents. Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide’s government hopes that with this agency, Japan will increase the application of digital at central and local agencies to improve service quality. Under the new law, Japan will upgrade computer systems at central and local agencies, and enact a nationwide general law to protect personal information. Increased exchange of personal information can cause data leaks and other risks, so the digital application law will also provide privacy protections. Prime Minister Suga’s government has given high priority to digital reform as Japan seeks to strengthen administrative reform through the use of information technology.

Users need to be cautious before providing personal information on social networks. According to Kaspersky’s “Building our place in the digital reputation economy”, social media users in Southeast Asia have become more aware of online risks. Netizens in Southeast Asia do not want to share identity information, family directly, where they live and work on their personal pages. Up to 76% of survey participants do not want to upload financial information online. This percentage is highest among Baby Boomers (people born two decades after World War II), accounting for 85%. Gen Z – the youngest generation – is the group with the lowest rate at 68%. Judging by the current tendency of young people to be more open to sharing information on cyberspace, Kaspersky believes that this is the main driver of the development of electronic payments in the region. However, this also poses a risk when young users do not pay much attention to information security. To best ensure privacy on social networks, especially financial information and personal data, Kaspersky has made a number of recommendations to users. The first is not to publish travel information, not to disclose too much personal information such as date of birth or workplace in the profile section. You should also not post your home address or phone number on any public forum. Second, you should check automatic positioning settings in posts, don’t share location publicly if it’s not absolutely necessary. Third, you should not participate in the quiz that appears on social networks. Usually, these games silently extract personal information with simple questions. That is the information commonly used in security questions. If you provide too much, hackers can use them to break into online accounts. Fourth, be wary of the contest or winning information, because they pose the risk of disguising fraud. If you share it on social media, you could inadvertently spread malicious code or pave the way for the disclosure of sensitive data. Hackers can take advantage of security holes on mobile devices to steal information. Artwork: BS Raise awareness about mobile device security According to a Kaspersky report, 71% of survey respondents in Southeast Asia use passwords to protect their mobile devices. However, just over half of them check and change privacy settings regularly and have internet security software installed on their devices. In order to keep financial information and personal data on your device safe, you need to take note of the following recommendations. Specifically, the most basic security method is to lock your phone with a password that is difficult to guess and update the system regularly. You absolutely do not jailbreak or root your phone. This can pave the way for hackers to enter the system and install malicious code. You should only use licensed and verified apps and games on reputable app stores. An application capable of remotely erasing data is also recommended, making it easy to erase information in case your phone is stolen.

AirDrop is very useful for Apple ecosystem users but is being warned of being insecure. Experts said, AirDrop allows users to share files with Apple devices in contacts. During the process of verifying the connection between devices, AirDrop uses a “mutual authentication mechanism” to compare the user’s phone number and email with the entries in the other device’s phonebook. Basically, data exchanged via AirDrop is encrypted by Apple, but this security mechanism is assessed by experts as relatively weak. In fact, Apple just scrambles the phone numbers and email addresses exchanged in the process of transmitting through AirDrop. This security mechanism can be easily circumvented using simple techniques like brute-force attacks. Also according to security experts at Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany), the above vulnerability was discovered in May 2019 and has been notified to Apple, but Apple still has no specific patch. to fix the problem. Airdrop is a feature that comes pre-installed on iPhone, iPad or Mac (depending on the version of the operating system). Helps iOS, Mac devices connect together and can easily share files wirelessly with each other very quickly without affecting the quality of the file. Airdrop has been integrated on iPhone, iPod, iPad devices using iOS 7 or higher. Macbook from 2012 with OS X Yosemite (10.0) higher (except Mac Pro mid-2012). In addition, AirDrop cannot be used with other operating systems (Android phones, Windows Phone phones …).

Experts say that in each attack, typically hackers will attack networks or systems, steal personal or sensitive information and then demand ransom to return or unlock them. that information. Although experts say that companies should not pay a ransom to hackers because this action helps to foster legal violations, according to Mimecast statistics, 54% of the companies have paid the ransom. Of these, 76% of the companies got their data back, while 24% couldn’t get it back. Prior to this report, since last year, many entities including major Australian companies have reported being attacked by hackers. The recent victim is Nine Network Television, which makes some programs unable to broadcast as usual. Previously, the Australian National Assembly’s computer network was also attacked a number of times. In response to this situation, Australia’s Cybersecurity Center issued recommendations and procedures to instruct entities on how to secure cyber security. At the same time, experts believe that regular software updates as well as the use of multi-factor authentication are also useful measures for security in a cyberspace environment./.

The color of the chip-mounted CCCD card is somewhat more vivid. Cards have two main colors are blue and light yellow. The two sides of the card have traditional motifs, beautifully imprinted. In the middle of the card is a very sharp map of Vietnam drawn. The new CCCD card has more vivid colors than the old card. On the front side of the card includes basic personal information such as: photo card, identification number, first and last name, date of birth, gender, nationality, country of origin, place of residence. The most obvious change is the CCCD card with English attached. In addition, on the CCCD card also appears the QR code. When scanning this code, we will be able to look up personal information of ourselves such as old ID number, new ID number … So, in case it’s not necessary, people should cover this part of the code to avoid your important information being stolen. The QR code on the new CCCD card is a change from the old card. The back of the CCCD card has the most obvious change in the layout as well as the above content. The old information still retained are identification features, card issuance time, fingerprints and red seal of the competent authority. The back of the card has a clear change in content and layout. The first difference is that the barcode printed on the old CCCD card header has now been replaced with a sequence of characters including both letters and numbers. This is also information that you should cover up. Besides, the position of the fingerprint has also been moved from the left edge (in the CCCD card, old ID card) to the right edge (in the new CCCD card). The position of fingerprints has a change between the old and new versions. The highlight on this year’s CCCD card is the chip attached to the back. This chip has a color, shape and size quite similar to the one on the phone sim card we often use. The chip on the new CCCD card. The size of the new CCCD card has similarities with many current hard cards In terms of shape, the new CCCD card will still have a rectangular design with 4 rounded corners, helping to limit the broken corner of the card when stored in the wallet. Thiet is quite similar to ATM cards of banks or membership cards of supermarkets. The CCCD card is shaped similar to an ATM card and other commonly used hardware cards. If you often have trouble with the slightly larger size of an old 9-digit ID card, it will be resolved on the new CCCD card. The new card will measure 83.6 x 53.98 mm. In a way that is easier to understand, “it” will be the size of an ATM card.
