The fight against fraud should keep pace with big data
Fraud is stronger than tiger, especially telecommunication fraud.
A few days ago, the media reported that a student in Changchun was killed by telecommunications fraud and suicide. After the Xu Yuyu incident, the tragedy has not stopped happening, which shows that criminals are rampant and warns of the urgency of strengthening social governance at the grass-roots level.
Telecommunication fraud is often successful because of information leakage. From the exposure of cases, enterprises and departments that hold the core information of the people, such as telecom operators, education departments, online shopping platforms, banks, etc., have an unshirkable responsibility for information leakage.
However, in reality, victims often face a lack of accountability. The extremely low case solving rate, the loopholes in the system, technology and management of the relevant enterprises and departments have not been remedied for a long time, and the relevant parties have neither made public announcements nor taken the initiative to assume responsibility for why the information is leaked, which has brought a sense of powerlessness and self blame to the victims.
The reason for information leakage may be unintentional, but it may be more due to interests. The main reasons for the constant occurrence of fraud are that the relevant enterprises and departments are not alert subjectively, the management is careless, and the interests want to reduce the management costs. In the absence of legislative constraints and market discipline, the board of accountability will not hit itself, and no interested party will take the initiative.
It has to be said that in the era of information explosion, our social governance has not kept pace with the times. What we lack, I'm afraid, is not some kind of information security technology, but an attitude, behavior and institutional norms that meet the governance requirements of the times. In the short term, the relevant enterprises and departments need to take the initiative to make up for the leak of information as soon as possible, and the public security departments need to hit hard. In the long run, it is necessary to launch data legislation to clarify the legal responsibilities of interested parties for collecting, storing and using information, and who will be responsible for digging out the information. Once the information is leaked, it will be tracked down to the end, so as to fundamentally relieve the pain of public information leakage through legislation.
