Investigation and Research on Internet Privacy Security: Taking “Account Opening” as an Example

Abstract

Network privacy security research is very important, it is directly related to the protection of personal privacy rights and interests, affecting social stability and trust. At the same time, it is also the foundation for the healthy development of the digital economy, which is of great significance to safeguarding national security and preventing cybercrimes and is an indispensable part of building a harmonious cyberspace. However, with the development of Internet technology, the problem of privacy leakage is becoming more and more serious, and the phenomenon of “account opening” has gradually become the focus of scholars. This study uses questionnaires to try to understand the reasons behind “opening accounts”. Specifically, through the four questions set in the questionnaire, we understand the user’s security awareness, the reliability of the download source, the virtual private network, and the sensitivity of private information. The results show that the privacy problem cannot be ignored at this stage. This study provides some reference value for the further development of the related theories of privacy economics.
