Clubhouse privacy concerns? Experts suggest doing the five major security measures before opening a house

Recently, three major factors such as the hunger marketing strategy with limited invitation codes, the aura of celebrity blessing, and the vast number of online social enthusiasts, and the curiosity of the emerging voice community have created the clubhouse's nationwide housing frenzy. However, experts suggest that when using the Clubhouse, you must take the five major safety measures before entering the house.

Xie Yunze, managing director of KPMG Anhou Digital Smart Risk Consulting Company, said that any social media has privacy and information security risks. Is this type of platform a "sound economy" or a "privacy taboo"? It is worth thinking about users who have or want to enter the house.

Xie Yunze further explained that in addition to requesting users to upload a mobile phone contact book, Clubhouse will also disclose to everyone the information that the user tracks, the person who tracks the user, and the referrer that was originally in the private domain and is in the Clubhouse This kind of platform for the purpose of open dating have no settings that can be hidden, and there is almost no shield for interpersonal connections. Therefore, if you are willing to "dig deeper" into a specific person, you can use Clubhouse's personal profile and tracking information to infer a person's friendship circle, occupation, interests, and even special hobbies, political orientation, race, religion, etc. in five minutes. Sensitive privacy such as business information without the parties' knowledge.

Xie Yunze reminded that users should not only obtain the "early access key" of the invitation code, they should also understand the "personal information deletion channel" when leaving the show. They are not just deleting the App when not in use so that they can communicate with all their friends. All continue to stay on the Internet and may be used by those who are interested. However, in the current version of Clubhouse, when users want to delete and exit the community, they only provide an English support mailbox as a channel, which is likely to cause the risk of "lasting registration and passing on forever".

For this reason, Anhou recommends Clubhouse users that if they want to open a room with sound, they must first take five major safety measures. The first item, after installing the App, in the iOS settings/privacy/contact options, directly turns off Clubhouse's access to contacts.

The second item is to confirm the authenticity of the account before chasing the character, especially the well-known political merchants or celebrities. There are many celebrity accounts on the platform that is difficult to distinguish between authentic and fake. Third, you should carefully choose the appropriate room type when opening a room, especially in an open room, without discussing trade secrets and personal privacy. Fourth, when exiting the chat, always pay attention to whether there is fraud or improper marketing behavior. Finally, when the platform services are no longer used, write an English letter asking the customer service to delete all personal information.

Lin Xuanyu, Director of Innovation Services at KPMG Anhou Digital Intelligent Risk Consultants, added that Clubhouse is a very new system. The overall information security maturity of the App may be worrying. Users still need to have a high degree of risk awareness and update the latest version at any time and pay attention.
