📌Recently, we have encountered a rapid increase in cases of offenses and fraud related to the use of personal data of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic. This is a serious problem that affects each of us. We often encounter situations where our personal data is used without our consent and control. This is not only a violation of our privacy, but also a potential threat to our security and finances.
Every new case of data leakage or unauthorized access to citizens' personal information reminds us of how important it is to ensure data security. The lack of data control in both private companies and government agencies is becoming increasingly apparent and requires urgent action.
We cannot ignore this problem. We must be conscientious about our personal information and demand stronger data security and controls from companies and government agencies.
To protect yourself and your data, the State Agency for Personal Data Protection recommends:
- Be sure to use strong passwords for your accounts and change them regularly.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your online accounts where possible. This will add an extra layer of security.
- Be more careful when communicating on the Internet and do not trust personal data to unverified sources.
- Carefully check your privacy settings on social networks and other online services.
- Install licensed anti-virus software on your devices and update it regularly.
If you become a victim of fraud or a data leak, immediately contact law enforcement agencies and report the incident to the State personal data protection agency.
Let's do our best to ensure everyone's privacy!
