One of the main causes of this situation is determined to come from users' awareness. In addition to technical solutions, the Department of Information Security recognizes that propaganda, dissemination, and awareness raising to equip each individual with basic knowledge and skills to ensure information security in cyberspace is a key factor in creating a safe Vietnamese cyberspace, contributing to accelerating the digital transformation process and developing a sustainable digital economic and social infrastructure.
The campaign “Action month to propagate and identify online fraud” was launched by the Ministry of Information and Communications from June 23 to July 23 under the chairmanship of the Department of Information Security in coordination with members of the Propaganda Alliance to raise awareness and skills to ensure information security for people in cyberspace. The campaign was deployed on a large scale, contributing to raising awareness for people through clips of common online fraud situations, identifying 24 forms of fraud, and providing a handbook of knowledge to prevent and protect yourself and your family in cyberspace.
