Recently, it was reported that the South Korean military will completely ban soldiers from bringing Apple mobile phones into the camp from June 1, and this news immediately attracted widespread attention. In today's rapid development of information technology, mobile devices have been used in every corner of our lives, which brings convenience to our lives, but also implies certain risks.

Smart devices such as iPhones do bring convenience, but they also become an important way for companies and state secrets to leak. With the continuous enhancement of mobile phone functions, it can record various sensitive information such as our biometrics, whereabouts and tracks, and communication records. Once a phone is stolen or hacked, this data is likely to be lost.
In fact, the mobile phones of many important people have been exposed for leaking confidential information. This brings unpredictable risks to intelligence security work. As U.S. technology companies penetrate the globe, so does their control over data.
Although companies such as Apple claim not to have casual access to users' private data, in some specific cases, they may still be affected by government policies. Although encryption technology provides some protection, it is not 100% absolutely secure. The great powers with advanced technology are more likely to use this advantage to engage in "technological warfare" by commercial and political means.
This is related to national sovereignty and security interests, and in the face of such a situation, countries will naturally consider self-defense. South Korea's military ban may have elements of national interest. With the development of the information society, mobile devices have brought us unprecedented convenience, but at the same time, they have also generated a series of new security risks.
While we should pay attention to the benefits of freedom and convenience of information, we should not ignore the new risks it may bring to national security and personal privacy. It is only through close cooperation in the development of feasible technical standards and policies that take full advantage of new technologies and prevent hidden dangers that we can strike a balance in the information society.
We have always attached great importance to this. Promote the introduction of the "Cybersecurity Law", which explicitly prohibits enterprises from stealing users' private data. Through publicity and education, we will raise the public's awareness of information security risks. However, while making full use of the advantages of foreign investment, it is also actively developing independent and controllable core technologies to prevent potential technological threats.
While information technology has brought us great convenience, it has also brought new security challenges to governments and individuals. Only by having a comprehensive understanding of this changing trend and implementing both security technologies and policy measures can we better adapt to and guide the process of informatization and make it a positive energy for social progress.
