The situation of revealing and losing account information and login passwords to shared information systems is happening widely, therefore, people need to raise awareness of ensuring information security.

According to Hanoi City Police, through the implementation of monitoring and ensuring network security and information safety, the Department of Network Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention of Hanoi City Police discovered the situation of disclosure and loss of account information and login passwords to shared information systems in Hanoi.
