Security Risks and Countermeasures in Government Information Disclosure: An Analysis Based on Two Typical Cases

With the continuous development of the administrative openness, government information disclosure is expanding in breadth and depth. Multiple entities and complex interactive processes increase security risks during the disclosure process. In the face of frequent information security incidents, mosaic theory provides a critical path for preventing security risks. This article constructs a theoretical framework for preventing security risks in government information disclosure, employing the "information synergy effect" recognized by mosaic theory. Following the deductive analysis of information collection, information embedding, and information utilization, the paper presents an in-depth comparative analysis of two typical cases: "Japan obtaining intelligence on Daqing Oilfield through public information" and "Ukraine obtaining military intelligence through public information during the Russia-Ukraine conflict." The risk generation process is elucidated. The research findings indicate that the security risks in government information disclosure generally follow an inherent logic of "external factors-risk source formation-emergence of risk formation-risk generation," demonstrating strong historical continuity. The comprehensive governance of security risks is an ongoing endeavor throughout the process of government information disclosure. While the formation of risk sources during information collection is uncertain and cannot be completely avoided, measures can be taken during the information embedding stage to block the emergence of risk, such as enhancing personnel risk prevention capabilities, strengthening management mechanisms, improving information analysis techniques, and establishing information embedding institutions.
