Proactive! Ta-Ya-Shen Industrial Association and TWDNA Alliance Adopt DNA Codes to Fight AI Fraud
Leveraging its extensive experience in promoting digital transformation and cultivating 50 AI planners over the past five years, the association is proactively assisting local SMEs in strengthening their digital protection and combating AI fraud through regular lectures and guidance reviews, enabling them to obtain exclusive digital identification. Furthermore, the association is providing free support to charitable fundraising websites to prevent and intercept fraudulent activity. The Tanya-Shen Industrial Association hopes to work with all sectors to build a trust-based ecosystem that protects each other, allowing Taiwan's industries to move steadily forward on a safe track.
Combating counterfeit and substandard products, only verifying genuine products! Say goodbye to the era of blacklists, the TWDNA Alliance launches the "Digital Content Good Citizen Certificate" to initiate an anti-fraud campaign.

A single fake text message can easily cripple a large company's customer service; a single video conference can impersonate a manager and defraud hundreds of millions of dollars. Artificial intelligence is accelerating fraud and escalating it into a global crisis of trust! Faced with cybersecurity vulnerabilities, traditional blacklisting methods are no longer effective. The latest anti-fraud strategies should shift towards an approach that "not only combats misinformation, but also uncovers the truth."
In June 2025, the Taiwan Anti-Fraud Alliance (TWDNA Anti-Fraud Alliance), jointly initiated by Taiwanese industry, academia, public groups, and legal entities, was officially established. How do they achieve a win-win-win situation through the concept of "immunity": allowing the public to freely verify information, helping businesses maintain their reputation, and reducing government interference from fake news? This struggle began with the dispute over Taiwan's unique "886" country code.
Taking the COVID-19 pandemic response card as an example, "verification" safeguards the bottom line of digital sovereignty.
If the "886" country code verification node falls into the wrong hands, Taiwanese companies issuing and verifying digital content will be forced to apply for global verification codes from overseas data centers. This situation would weaken digital governance, make data vulnerable to unauthorized access, and harm national sovereignty. Therefore, immediately after its establishment, the Taiwan TWDNA Anti-Fraud Alliance obtained authorization from the international GDDNA Global Distributed Digital Encoding Architecture Alliance to build an "886" country code verification node in a local data center in Taiwan.
John Lin, Chairman of OmniBud INC. (and one of the founders of the TWDNA Alliance), pointed out that this protection mechanism is similar to the yellow card system used during the COVID-19 pandemic. When deepfake technology has developed to the point where even identity verification tools are ineffective, instead of spending time sifting through endless blacklists, it's better to directly check who holds a verified whitelist.

He suggested that companies should provide appropriate verification labels, which is crucial for meeting current technical or professional security standards and compliance requirements of the Consumer Protection Act. （Image source: Business Weekly）Taiwanese digital technology companies are using CPR (Content Reduction) technology to combat fake links and protect the security of millions of bills.
As a guardian of the "TV, Broadband, Digital China" initiative, Taiwan Broadband Group bears the heavy responsibility of managing the bills of millions of users and utilizes the "Continuing Personal Responsibility" (CPR) mechanism to combat fake links. Taiwan Broadband Group CEO Luo Wenlong stated that as a founding member of the North American Alliance, they have 450,000 cable TV subscribers and 270,000 broadband subscribers. During their green transition from paper bills to SMS bills, they discovered that the proliferation of fraudulent SMS messages had led to a decline in public trust in SMS links, with people fearing that clicking on links would lead to phishing traps. This directly triggered a bill collection crisis, forcing the customer service department to invest significant manpower in collection efforts, severely damaging the company's reputation.

Introducing a whitelist verification system can give users greater peace of mind. （Image source: Business Weekly）Therefore, Taiwan Digital Communications Corporation (TDCC) proactively implemented a whitelist mechanism in its millions of SMS messages. They embedded the SMS billing DNA code into the messages, and after receiving a payment reminder, users only need three simple steps: copy the entire SMS message, paste it to the twdna.org website, and then reply. This thoughtful design is that users do not need to copy and paste any specific code; they only need to copy the SMS message and paste it to the website, and the system can automatically recognize TDCC's DNA code for verification.
Once verified, the system will redirect users one-to-one to the official payment page, completely eliminating any phishing attacks from fake websites. Luo Wenlong responded that this measure is expected to effectively increase SMS payment rates and reduce collection costs; more importantly, it will enhance users' trust in the company's brand, setting a benchmark for corporate governance and social responsibility. Taiwan Digital Communications (TDC) hopes to be the first to implement this verification mechanism in its service area. After verifying the feasibility of this model, TDC also looks forward to working with more public utilities and service industries to build a trustworthy digital ecosystem.
The Tanya Association assists small and medium-sized enterprises in actively strengthening their digital protection capabilities.
Large corporations have the capacity to build robust security measures, but many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have become victims of the digital divide. Luo Zuoliang, president of the Tanya-Shen Industrial Association, which has deep roots in central Taiwan, stated, "Last month, I flew to Canada to apply for an e-visa. On impulse, I randomly clicked on a webpage and ended up being scammed out of NT$10,000!" This highlights that even experienced managers are not immune to falling into such traps.
To better serve its members, the association actively applied to become an authorized registration agency for TWDNA. Luo Zuoliang pointed out that the association not only incorporates verification codes into its official website, payment notices, and official documents, but also, over the past five years, has guided member companies in their digital and artificial intelligence transformation, training 50 AI planners. Through monthly lectures, elite training courses, and forum visits, the association guides micro-enterprises in auditing and risk assessment, helping member companies obtain their own unique DNA codes.

For single-page donation websites that raise funds for vulnerable groups, the association provides free DNA verification codes with expiration dates to prevent criminal groups from misappropriating public donations. Lo Tso-liang further called for the inclusion of verification codes in important government announcements to enhance security resilience and prevent fake news from impacting national stability. Lo emphasized that only by establishing a trust ecosystem that protects both oneself and others can Taiwan's various industries maintain stable development in a safe environment.
Digital professional qualification certifications also need to be authentic! The vetting process of the Information Industry Research Institute's R&D Center.
This verification and security system not only safeguards business transactions but also ensures the absence of loopholes in the talent and professional qualification certification process. In the job market, the prevalence of fake diplomas and forged certificates undermines companies' trust in talent selection and threatens the reputation built up by educational institutions over many years.
The Institute for Digital Education (IDR) has been deeply involved in talent development, issuing nearly 20,000 certificates and digital skills passports in the past two years. Dean He Lingling pointed out that the skills passport summarizes an individual's learning journey, project achievements, awards, and professional certifications. Due to the diverse sources of information, rigorous verification is crucial under platform-based management.
Ho Ling-ling, director of the Digital Education Institute at the Information Industry Research Institute, pointed out that the need for verification of digital professional passports is urgent. Introducing a unique DNA code to verify academic records is the final step in ensuring talent credit recognition. （Image source: Business Weekly）Finally, John Lin pointed out that the anti-fraud verification network is an important component of the national public security infrastructure. "Creating new theories is difficult, but replicating successful experiences is the fastest. DNA codes are like food safety records. If businesses correctly label their products according to Articles 7 and 7-1 of the Consumer Protection Act, and the government conducts effective public awareness campaigns to prevent people from being deceived, we can usher in a civilized society of mutual trust and prosperity." The Taiwan DNA Association firmly believes that as long as "influential businesses and institutions that are easily targeted by fraud and impersonation can use DNA code verification services and fulfill their responsibilities, Taiwanese citizens can check their own DNA codes or notification content on twdna.org and return to the authentic page," allowing them to obtain basic anti-fraud protection without additional expense. When multiple parties work together to accelerate Taiwan's achievement of herd immunity and prevent fraud, the fraud virus will leave Taiwan and spread to countries without immunity. This will also be an opportunity for Taiwan to demonstrate on the international stage that "anti-fraud verification: Taiwan can help."
