We appreciate the support of technology enterprises such as MoMo in developing advanced security solutions and joining hands to spread awareness of risk prevention in the digital space.
Mr. Nguyen Ba Diep, Co-founder of MoMo shared: As a digital financial platform serving tens of millions of Vietnamese users, MoMo always considers the safety and security of user information as a core factor for sustainable development.We appreciate the opportunity to accompany the Ministry of Public Security and the Department of Cyber Security & High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05) in their efforts to raise awareness of cybersecurity for students and young people - digital citizens of the future.We hope to contribute to spreading the spirit of vigilance and proactiveness in each transaction, with the community and authorities.
The outstanding features introduced by MoMo at the event are all security solutions that are being widely deployed on the application, demonstrating their continuous efforts in applying artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data to protect users in the digital financial space.
● Unusual transaction warning system: Each transaction is automatically analyzed by MoMo's system according to hundreds of behavioral variables to identify the risk of users being scammed. When detecting any unusual signs, the system will temporarily block transactions immediately, at the same time send warnings and instruct users to contact the Customer Care hotline for verification.
● Identifying account security: MoMo applies an AI model to analyze transaction behavior and community feedback to assign warning labels:
○ Green leaf: Safety - Account has not recorded risks
○ Gold: Need to consider - Potential risky accounts
○ Red: Risk - Fraudulent risk account
This warning data is compiled from the official source of the state management agency, combined with the risk recipient detection system, helping users proactively assess the reliability before transferring money.
● Smart biometric authentication: In the context of increasingly sophisticated forms of deepfake fraud and identity forgery, MoMo has implemented multi-layered biometric authentication according to the State Bank's Decision 2345/QD-NHNN standard, synchronous with the national database managed by the Ministry of Public Security. In parallel, MoMo also cooperates with iProov (UK) to apply Dynamic Liveness technology, which is capable of distinguishing between real people and images, videos or AI-generated faces, ensuring "right people, right time" in all transactions.
