Fake algorithm, "online kidnapping" and a lesson of vigilance on Nguyen Hue walking street

In recent days, the exhibition "80 years of People's Security - Silent Shield" was held on Nguyen Hue walking street, attracting a large number of people to visit and experience.

The exhibition has introduced the journey of building, fighting and growing up of the People's Security Forces through historical periods, from the early days of protecting the young revolutionary government, the victories in the resistance war, to the period of innovation, integration and new requirements in the career of protecting national security.

Within the framework of the series of events, display, exhibition and experience activities are organized for officers, soldiers, people, youth, students and visitors.

In addition, information and experience spaces applying modern technology have brought the public closer to security issues present in daily life, such as: network security, online fraud prevention, and skills to identify high-tech criminals.

Spending time experiencing the games, Ms. Nguyen Trang (22 years old, living in Ho Chi Minh City) shared that the program is very meaningful, creating a playground for people, while helping people acquire knowledge and be propagated by police officers about many fraudulent tricks of criminals.

Ms. Trang also participated in the game, answering questions about online kidnapping tricks. The girl's assessment of these questions provided additional knowledge to help herself define and identify dangerous calls.

"From the knowledge I have received, I will pass it on to my relatives, so that no one has to fall into the situation of being scammed online," Ms. Trang shared.

And Ms. My Linh (28 years old) chose to experience the game "One minute check to avoid scams". This is a game of distinguishing between real and fake, forcing players to have both knowledge and experience. While playing, Ms. Linh is sometimes confused by domain names and AI-generated videos.

"The domain names and content created by AI are up to 90% real. If a normal person doesn't look carefully, it will be difficult to distinguish when they have never been in contact with them. This game teaches me that in case I cannot distinguish between real and fake, I should be wary and ask for more information from people around me," Ms. Linh shared.

Lieutenant Nguyen Khanh Toan, officer of the Cyber ​​Security and High-tech Crime Prevention Department, Can Tho City Police, shared that the games created by the organizers have provided essential information for people to update, and are also opportunities for people to interact with real-life situations.

From there, people have appropriate reactions and ways to deal with it in life, preventing scams in cyberspace, especially "online kidnapping" situations focusing on groups of teenagers and children, who have limited knowledge in cyberspace.

According to Lieutenant Toan, the "Not Alone" campaign means that no one is alone in the online environment, everyone joins hands to support and help to make cyberspace safe and healthy.
