Mr. Fuller Yu, Advisory Board of the Hong Kong China Network Security Association, and Mr. Kinsey Ng, representative of the Talent Development and Education Committee, were invited to participate in the latest episode of "Now Report" program to delve into the current cyber security risks in society when intelligence fails. With the rapid development of technology, electronization has permeated every aspect of our daily lives, from daily shopping to government services, showcasing the convenience and efficiency of the intelligent era. However, a series of failures of government and public institution electronic systems, such as the computer system at the Airport in June, the "Easy Invigilation" and "Easy Registration" systems of the HKEAA in April, and the electronic voter registration system for the District Council elections last year, have not only aroused public concern about the stability of the electronic systems, it has also prompted all sectors of society to reflect on potential network security problems in the era of intelligence.
Demonstrating hacking techniques to sound the alarm for security.
Mr. Kinsey Ng, lecturer of the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology, representative of the Talent Development and Education Committee of the HKCNSA
In the program, Kinsey, a lecturer of the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology, representative of the Talent Development and Education Committee of the HKCNSA, gave a vivid demonstration to the audience, showing how hackers can use tools and technical means to silently infiltrate the internal of institutions and easily obtain databases and sensitive information. This section not only intuitively reveals the advanced methods of hacker attacks, but also profoundly warns all sectors of society to attach great importance to the importance of network security protection while enjoying technological convenience.
Fuller provides a thorough analysis and proposes preventive measures.
Mr. Fuller Yu, Advisory Board of the HKCNSA
In response to the current frequent network security incidents, Fuller, with his rich industry experience, deeply analyzed the harm of phishing and ransomware emails. He pointed out that such emails can quickly deadlock the entire institution's data system, posing a serious threat to the normal operation of merchants, and may even lead to business interruption and significant economic losses. Especially during the epidemic, many institutions hastily opened up system permissions to meet the demand for remote work, which undoubtedly provided an opportunity for hacker attacks.
In the face of increasingly severe network security challenges in the era of intelligence, Fuller put forward practical suggestions:"We need to build a multi-level protection system to ensure effective interception at the first time of hacker intrusion. More importantly, we need to change our thinking from passive response to proactive prevention, and eliminate security risks in their infancy through regular security checks, vulnerability fixes, and employee training. Remember, prevention is always better than cure. Only in this way can we steadily move forward in this intelligent era and enjoy the true benefits brought by technology. "
Through vivid case studies and in-depth expert analysis, this episode of "Now Report" not only reveals the severe challenges faced by electronic systems in the era of intelligence, but also points out the direction for us to move forward. While enjoying the convenience of technology, strengthening network security protection and building a secure and reliable digital environment is the shared responsibility of each and every one of us.
