Protect yourself from data leaks, don't rely on authorities

Hoàng Văn Minh |

The Ministry of Public Security's proposal of 8 groups of data that should not be made public in the Data Law Project (expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for first comments at the 8th Session in October 2024) is very timely, necessary, well-founded, and in accordance with regulations.

Especially in the context of personal and organizational data being leaked almost publicly in recent times. This is also a common cause, leading to many people having their money and property stolen by criminals through the form of taking over social network accounts and stealing information.

The proposal of 8 groups of data that are not to be made public in the Data Law Project is expected to meet the needs of protecting personal data and preventing data abuse for bad purposes. However, people and organizations cannot leave it entirely to the authorities in the story of how to avoid information leakage.

In reality, the majority of people are still not aware of protecting personal data, publicly posting or disclosing personal information during the process of transferring, storing, exchanging for business activities or due to inadequate protection measures. They are willing to provide personal data without carefully considering the authority of that individual or organization.

Many people are still not fully aware that providing personal information and data on cyberspace can lead to the risk of information being used for the wrong purpose, being sold or exchanged with other individuals or organizations without their knowledge.

When discovering that their personal information has been leaked, not many people are proactive and quickly contact the authorities immediately to report the loss of personal information. Or immediately contact the bank to block the card and request a new card in case of bank information leak.

To prevent personal information from being leaked and to be better secured, people need to cooperate with authorities by eliminating the idea of ​​​​dependence. People must be aware of protecting themselves by regularly updating information and knowledge for themselves on how to prevent personal data from being leaked and being vigilant, sharing immediately with relatives and friends to avoid being scammed through social networks such as Facebook, Zalo...

In particular, always remind yourself to "slow down a bit" to be calm, alert, and learn everything carefully before deciding to "transact" with both acquaintances and strangers!
