Lavawave , a digital crime response specialist, announced on the 14th that it signed a business agreement (MOU) with the National Assembly Policy Academy, a non-profit organization, for the purpose of researching and improving current policies to protect victims of digital crimes.
Recently, as digital sex crimes such as body cam phishing and deep fakes have been on the rise, victims are unable to receive actual protection and support due to the limitations of current laws and systems. In particular, due to the nature of digital crimes, when the videos of the victims are leaked, they are often redistributed, causing serious psychological and social damage to the victims. Accordingly, it is urgent to establish a legal and technical response system for the victims to recover and return to their daily lives.
Through this agreement, Lavawave and the Congressional Policy Academy will jointly research ways to improve laws and systems to protect victims of digital crimes. Key areas of cooperation include: ▲improving effective laws and systems to protect victims of digital crimes ▲establishing economic and institutional support measures to support victims ▲researching policies by type of digital crime ▲establishing a victim support system that integrates law and technology.
LavaWave provides services to detect and delete illegally filmed and deepfake videos using the AI-based advanced monitoring solution 'Lava Scanner', and the Congressional Policy Academy seeks policy solutions based on years of legal and policy research data and a legislative support network.
Lavawave CEO Kim Jun-yeop said, “Digital crimes have limitations with technological responses alone, so legal and institutional support must be provided together,” and added, “Through this cooperation, we will do our best to establish specific and realistic improvement measures to protect victims and achieve tangible results for damage recovery.”
Min Sang-ki, the director of the National Assembly Policy Academy, said, “Support for victims of digital crimes requires simultaneous legal and policy approaches and technical support,” and added, “Starting with this collaboration, we will take the lead in protecting victims by proposing effective policies and institutional improvement plans and promoting legislation.”
