How to protect personal information from being leaked?

1) Strengthen information security publicity. For government departments, although the personal information security issues in the era of big data need to be solved by the government, they cannot rely entirely on the power of the government to prevent and deal with various personal information security issues. In view of the general problem of the lack of information security literacy of domestic netizens, government departments need to carry out publicity and education on information security knowledge and skills from the aspects of school education and media publicity, so as to help netizens effectively improve their personal information security literacy and understand information security issues from the source. For example, in education, the education department can adjust the teaching content of primary schools, middle schools, universities and other stages and disciplines, and integrate the relevant knowledge and skills of personal information security protection into teaching materials or practical teaching activities, so that students can contact and learn information security knowledge and skills from an early age and have good information security literacy. In terms of media publicity, we can publicize the knowledge and skills related to network information security through special programs, documentaries and popular science activities on network knowledge. , and the official Weibo and WeChat accounts are opened by the network police department or other relevant government agencies to promote all kinds of personal information security protection knowledge related to daily life to the public, help them establish a good awareness of information security, effectively improve the public's information security literacy, and gradually reduce personal information security problems. (II) Improving the government network supervision mechanism In the era of big data, the government's supervision of the network environment is very important. Although there are great difficulties in government network supervision at present, it is still necessary to establish and improve the network supervision mechanism on the basis of the existing government network supervision work to ensure the safety of public life and property, so as to make the government supervision work more standardized and efficient. For example, in order to solve the problem of insufficient police force in the network police department, a special citizen personal information security protection agency can be established to jointly handle the personal information security of the masses with the public security department, and comprehensively monitor and prevent violations of citizens' personal information security in advance. Once illegal elements are found, they should be punished immediately according to law, and such acts should be included in the personal or corporate credit information system to effectively warn the public. At the same time, in view of some potential personal information security risks, we can change our working ideas, start with the network, actively communicate with citizens, understand the theft, disclosure and transaction of various personal information in society, and use this as a clue to crack down on criminals, thus reducing the difficulty of network supervision. (III) Strengthening the supervision of the Internet industry A large part of personal privacy information leakage in the era of big data comes from various network platform systems. Therefore, in order to prevent the public's personal information from being leaked by Internet companies, the government needs to strengthen the supervision of the entire Internet industry and strictly control the security of users' personal information from the perspective of industry access, so as to isolate users who illegally use other people's personal information from the Internet industry and change the current bad atmosphere of the Internet industry. At the same time, because the entire Internet industry has not yet formed a perfect self-discipline mechanism, it needs government departments to guide the Internet, emphasize the seriousness of users' personal information disclosure, encourage enterprises to use big data healthily, take the initiative to take the responsibility of protecting users' personal privacy information security, and must not choose "fishing for short-term benefits", so that the entire industry will pay attention to the protection of users' personal information for long-term development, and Internet companies will use data information more standardized. (4) Accelerating legislation on the protection of personal information Personal information privacy is protected by law. At present, there are some deficiencies in the legal system related to personal information security in China, and the practical problems are relatively clear. Therefore, as long as the legislative department can speed up the legislative work related to the protection of personal information in view of the existing legal problems, the legal system of legal security protection of personal information on the Internet will inevitably be improved. For example, in the use of personal privacy information, the law should clearly stipulate the responsibility of Internet companies to protect users' personal information. As long as the user's personal information is collected and used, it must bear the corresponding responsibility to protect the user's personal information. Internet companies need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities and compensate users for their losses, whether they actively sell their personal information or because of other problems that lead to the disclosure of their personal information. For some personal information that does not need to be used for a long time, it needs to be deleted in time after the collection purpose is achieved, and it cannot be saved or backed up. It is necessary to bring vicious illegal acts such as actively selling users' personal information and stealing others' personal information into the criminal law, force the offenders to bear relevant criminal responsibilities, and compensate the owners of personal information, so that after the illegal costs and risks are higher than the commercial value of personal information, the illegal acts will naturally become less and less. (V) Attaching importance to information security technologies, researching and developing information security technologies such as firewall, data encryption and data backup can play a very important role in protecting personal information security. Therefore, in the future, government departments need to actively cooperate with relevant scientific research institutions and universities to carry out special research on information security technology and personal information security protection. While mastering all kinds of advanced information security technologies, combining with the actual needs, we can innovate the existing information security technologies and effectively improve the level of information security technologies, which can not only provide guidance and help for the platform system security management of Internet companies, but also seek the support of Internet companies to solve the related funding problems of information security technology research and development.
