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.

Therefore, the majority of households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land have coordinated with contracting units to perform the ground improvement combined with fully reclamation of leveling land in accordance with the plan, exploiting the right location and licensed area. After being licensed and conducting land improvement, many individual households have abandoned the improved land, did not implement the land recovery plan, planted trees for environmental restoration … according to regulations. Along with that, the fulfillment of financial obligations towards the State, such as: fees for granting mineral mining rights, environmental protection fees, royalties … are fully implemented by households in accordance with regulations. .
