My blog auto-updates every day at 10 a.m. Why two posts today? At 14:50 this afternoon I received an SMS about the first National Cybersecurity Awareness Week, so let me respond to the national call: build cybersecurity together, share cyber civilization. The “First National Cybersecurity Awareness Week” was held from November 24 to 30, 2014. The event was jointly organized by the Office of the Central Leading Group for Cybersecurity and Informatization (the Central Cyberspace Affairs Office), together with the Central Organization Establishment Commission Office (Central Staffing Office), the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the People’s Bank of China, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, and other departments. November 24 was the launch day, 25 the government day, 26 the finance day, 27 the industry day, 28 the telecom day, 29 the youth day, and 30 the legal day.

Alright, you can see that learning cybersecurity knowledge is very necessary. You might say you definitely won’t be scammed, but what about your family? Your parents? Your wife and kids? The state and government are also actively finding ways to help everyone avoid being scammed online. One such effort is the “Press Conference on Unified Identification for Party and Government Websites Held in Beijing” — simply put, put an icon at the bottom of the website page; clicking it goes to an authentication page. Many sites have a bunch of icons at the bottom, but real sites have a link — clicking jumps to the authentication page, while fake sites generally can’t be clicked, or even if clickable, don’t go to the site’s authentication page. I hope everyone pays more attention. Liu Yunshan, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau and Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and deputy head of the Central Leading Group for Cybersecurity and Informatization, delivered a speech at the launch ceremony and visited the public cybersecurity experience exhibition, emphasizing at the launch of the First National Cybersecurity Awareness Week: safeguard cybersecurity, build a cyber power. The National Cybersecurity Awareness Week is set to be held in the last week of November each year. This year’s theme is “Build cybersecurity together, share cyber civilization,” and a series of activities will be carried out nationwide, including public cybersecurity experiences, public-service short film screenings, cybersecurity knowledge lectures, cybersecurity skills competitions, and distribution of cybersecurity handbooks.
