The Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC) has just advised parents not to share their children's academic achievements online, because this action poses many risks related to personal information safety and network security.
In fact, certificates and report cards often contain a lot of important personal information about children such as full name, school, class, year of birth, and facial image.
This is sensitive data that bad guys can take advantage of to collect and exploit for many illegal purposes. When this information is leaked online, children and their families can face many serious risks.
First of all, revealing personal information makes it easy for criminals to identify and determine the location and living environment of children.
On that basis, scammers can impersonate teachers, school officials or relatives to call and approach parents, taking advantage of their psychology to appropriate property.
There have been many cases where impersonators have reported accidents, illnesses, and requested urgent transfers of hospital and tuition fees, causing families to panic and fall into scam traps.
In addition, children can also become victims of abusive behaviors such as seduction, harassment, intimidation or having their photos edited and their reputation defamed online. Especially in the digital age, seemingly small pieces of information can be quickly aggregated, analyzed, and created into data profiles for dangerous criminal purposes.
In addition to the risks of fraud and abuse, showing off academic achievements too much on social networks can also cause psychological pressure on children.
Children easily fall into a state of comparison, self-pity, and stress when they see their achievements placed next to the praise and admiration of friends and acquaintances on the internet.
Performance pressure can affect children's self-confidence, enjoyment of learning, and healthy psychological development.
Do not post certificates, transcripts... containing personal information.
To ensure information security and protect children from potential risks, HCDC recommends that parents be cautious when sharing their children's achievements on social networks.
Absolutely do not post certificates, transcripts, awards or learning documents containing personal information such as full name, school, year of birth, student ID number, etc.
If you really want to share, obscure or hide sensitive information. Sharing should be limited to private, close, and controlled groups.
Protecting personal information is also protecting your children from the potential dangers of cyberspace. Every parent should be a smart social network user, proactively preventing and minimizing risks from the smallest actions.
