Build a Database of Fraud Cases Based on Social Public Opinion

The global problem of gray and black production is beyond the ability of the traditional defense means, and we must use cutting-edge technologies to take the initiative in this battle. China Unicom is a large-scale international telecom operator with more than 1 billion connections, the City University of Hong Kong is the world's top international university. Both sides gather advanced resources and technologies around the world to deeply analyze the fraud trends and patterns, decode the secret behind the gray and black industry, and export paths to regulate telecom fraud to global partners. China Unicom and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology build a global fraud case database to gain insight into the operation mode of gray and black production and give early warning. We use the sharp eyes of artificial intelligence to understand the psychology of victims and develop preventive measures. This year, the platform detected a series of abnormal online activities and identified them as related to multiple scams. The system quickly alerted and prevented many potential scams in time.

Key Role of Cross-Border Cooperation and Data Analysis

Since 2023, China Unicom has significantly improved the efficiency of gray and black production management. 1.5 billion + public service messages and 3700 + anti-fraud publicity activities were conducted to enhance the national anti-fraud awareness. 30 million + early warning reminders were issued to accurately intercept illegal arrows. Centralized governance platform like eagle eyes leaves gray and black illegal operations nowhere to hide; and uses AI technologies check disposal mechanism to ensure that frauds are identified accurately and the public do not suffer losses; and the rate of cases reduced to 41%. We have never stopped and continued to move forward on the journey of gray and black industry management. In the future, we will deepen research with international academic institutions, promote cross-border data sharing and technological innovation, effectively ensure global cybersecurity, and jointly build a global community with a shared future. 

Moreover, China Unicom Global Limited actively shares the latest research results of China Unicom in the field of anti-fraud with major communication operators around the world, actively participates in international academic exchange activities, and provides cutting-edge insights and strategies for global anti-fraud work. These efforts have built a robust anti-fraud firewall to protect global citizens from telecom network fraud.

Significant Improvement in Social Impact and Economic Benefits

Innovative anti-fraud methods have significantly improved social and economic benefits. China Unicom Global Limited constructs victim portraits based on the demographics, behavioral characteristics and psychological characteristics of victims, and formulates targeted publicity and intervention strategies accordingly. These means not only effectively reduce the frequency and scope of cross-border telecom network fraud, but also significantly improve the fraud professional level of anti-fraud professionals, strengthen the awareness of key groups, and optimizes the risk control efficiency of China Unicom Global Limited. This move will eventually form a synergistic effect of social anti-fraud and reduce the damage of fraud to the society. Through efficient international cooperation and experience sharing, the project has successfully built a more secure and reliable network environment, setting a new benchmark for global anti-fraud efforts.
