The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) informed that this figure is a drop of 5.1 percent and nearly 47 percent compared to March and this time last year, respectively. This is the second consecutive month that the quantity of cyberattacks into Vietnamese information systems has witnessed a reduction.

The Information Security Authority explained that the decrease is thanks to more attention to and investment in information security tasks of organizations and businesses.

However, predictions reveal that cyber criminals are becoming increasingly cunning and dangerous. Their aim is mostly on organizations and businesses in the financial field such as banking, insurance, and securities. Therefore, the State’s regulations must be observed at all time to minimize potential risks and actively address arisen problems.
