Incorporate basic security habits into your daily routine
Everyone uses smartphones and the Internet every day.
However, I think many of you and your families are worried about the increasing number of virus infections and personal information theft.
So let me tell you that I want you to incorporate some basic security habits into your daily routine.
When the novel coronavirus spread, I think we were properly implementing measures such as washing hands, gargling, wearing masks, and ventilation. The same is true when using smartphones and the Internet
- Do not reuse passwords
- Update apps faster
- Don't click on links in emails you don't recognize
These and other simple things can prevent viral infections and protect your personal information.
Even if each action is small, you can protect yourself and your loved ones by continuing.
Cyberattacks is not a matter of one thing, but a matter of oneself. Let's work together to create a society where everyone is aware of security and can use digital with peace of mind!
Please check the 10 points to use My Number Card, Mynaportal and various services safely and securely.
The government is working to develop safe usage environments from both technical and operational perspectives so that citizens can use My Number Card as a safe and secure. In order to further improve the safe of the My Number Card, here are some points when using My Number Card and Mynaportal that we would like everyone to know.
1. Lock your smartphone screen.
Set a screen lock to prevent unauthorized use by third parties when your smartphone is lost or stolen. In addition, biometric authentication (fingerprint authentication / face authentication) is effective where possible.
2. Keep your OS and browser up to date
To use applications and services with peace of mind, be sure to apply OS updates as soon as possible and update your browser to the latest version.
3. Avoid using a PIN or password that is easy to understand and do not let others know it.
Make sure that no one else knows your PIN (4-digit number) or password (a mixture of 6 to 16 half-pitch alpha-numeric characters). Do not keep it with your My Number Card or carry it around with you, and keep it in a safe place. Also, avoid using a PIN that is easy to recognize, such as your birthday or a string of the same number (example: 1111).
4. When using apps and services, check the Wi-Fi to be connected
In the case of Wi-Fi that is not used on a regular basis, there is a possibility of eavesdropping, spoofing, and improper acquisition of information on smartphone terminals and access destinations. Do not enter personal identification numbers, personal information, etc.
5. Don't open emails that you don't recognize.
Never open a link from an e-mail you don't recognize. If you open the e-mail, don't go to the link.
6. Install the app after checking the source from the official store.
Please install the application from the official store (App Store/Google Play) after confirming that the developer and provider are listed as "Digital Agency". All other applications are fake and may have been tampered with.
7. Please be sure to log out when using the Mynaportal on the shared computer.
When using a Terminal used by multiple people, in order to prevent incorrect operation or unauthorized use by others, be sure to log out after using applications and services.
8. Check your usage history Use Mynaportal with peace of mind by function
The Mynaportal has a function for safe use such as logging in and checking the usage history of various services. Please use it actively.
9. When changing models, don't forget to add "Smartphone My Number Card" to your new smartphone
You should also be careful when changing the model of the smartphone for which you have set My Number Card. After changing the model, add "Smartphone My Number Card" to the new smartphone. It is safe to initialize the old smartphone just in case.
10. NEVER SELL OR GIVE AWAY YOUR My Number Card
Your My Number Card is important only to you. Never sell or transfer your My Number Card. If you lose your My Number Card, please call the My Number general dial (0120 95 0178). You can temporarily suspend the use of your card.
In order for everyone to live safely and securely, please tell your family and friends the 10 points.
Please use this as a reference when reviewing your daily security measures.
