His Visa Revoked After Posting a WeChat Moment—Why?

文化   2024-10-25 23:57   中国香港  

  Recently, a netizen shared an alarming experience on the social media platform Little Red Book, revealing that his U.S. visa was revoked after he posted a moment on WeChat.
 The incident began when the netizen, excited after receiving both a U.S. seaman's visa and a tourist visa, posted about his success. However, he forgot to redact the visa number on the document he shared. A few days later, he received an email from the embassy stating that his visa had been revoked. The individual suspects that someone maliciously registered his information in the EVUS (Electronic Visa Update System), which may have led to the cancellation.

  Despite attempts to appeal to the embassy, including submitting extensive documentation and undergoing another interview at the consulate, the netizen has yet to receive a new visa. This incident serves as a stark reminder to protect personal privacy and be cautious in online communications.

Tips for Protecting Your Online Privacy
  As we navigate the digital world, safeguarding personal information is crucial. In early October, ahead of the Chinese National Day holiday, the Cybersecurity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued reminders on protecting personal information to avoid potential troubles or losses.
  Here are some key tips to consider:
1.Avoid Sharing Sensitive Documents.
  Refrain from posting images of tickets (train, flight, boarding passes), as they often contain personal information, including ID numbers, which can be exploited.
2.Do Not Share Key Photos.
  With advanced photography, clear images of keys can enable criminals to replicate them if the key design is simple.
3.Be Cautious with Location Posts.
  Sharing location-tagged photos can expose your home address and lead to unnecessary risks.
4.Protect ID Photos.
  Photos of important documents (IDs, passports, driver’s licenses) should be shared with caution, as they contain critical personal data.
5.Safeguard the Information of Children and Elders.
  Avoid posting images and names of elderly individuals and children, as this information can be misused, especially if geographic identifiers are present.
6.Exercise Caution with Public Wi-Fi.
  Use only trustworthy Wi-Fi sources and avoid accessing sensitive information, logging into accounts, or making online payments in public settings to prevent data theft.
7.Properly Dispose of Old Phones.
  Old devices may hold significant personal information. Simply factory resetting or deleting files is not foolproof; it’s advisable to fill the storage with unimportant data before deletion to prevent recovery.
8.Beware of Phishing Websites.
  Avoid clicking on suspicious links and carefully verify the authenticity of websites before entering personal information to prevent identity theft or fraud.
9.Participate in Surveys with Caution.
  Online surveys and promotional offers can lead to information leaks. Always verify the legitimacy of the source, download apps from official channels, and be cautious when granting permissions to avoid malicious access.
10.Download Apps from Official Sources.
  Always download apps from official channels, and be cautious when granting permissions for contacts, location, and photos. This helps prevent malicious apps from frequently requesting access to steal personal information.
  By following these precautions, individuals can better protect their personal information and minimize risks associated with online activities.
