According to statistics from the National Committee on Digital Transformation, by the end of 2024, the number of information systems approved for security assurance records by level had reached 92%, an increase of 27% compared to 2023. Of which, 49% of information systems had deployed security assurance solutions according to approved records.
Also in 2024, authorities handled 8,558 fraudulent and illegal websites; thanks to that, many people were protected from accessing online fraudulent and illegal websites.
According to data from the Department of Information Security (Ministry of Information and Communications), during the 9-day Lunar New Year holiday in 2025, although no serious cyber attacks were recorded, 105 cyber attacks were detected, mainly in the form of Phishing - scam attacks.
The Information Security Department has also sent warnings and supported the handling of 15 cyber attacks; at the same time, it has blocked and handled 30 websites that violated the law.
Also according to preliminary statistics, on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025, the technical system of the Vietnam Cyberspace Emergency Response Center - VNCERT/CC under the Information Security Department received nearly 2,600 reports of spam calls, and nearly 1,200 reports of spam messages.
Experts say ransomware attacks, phishing attacks, and APT attacks are the three cyber attack trends of 2025.
In particular, ransomware data encryption attack is an attack method that targets users' lack of understanding or low awareness of threats, while the spread and incident handling mechanism are almost zero and the level of impact is extremely large, bringing illegal money through virtual currency, leading to hackers always being the priority choice.
Online fraud and phishing attacks target people who do not have much experience or expertise in digital platforms; scammers often use images and technology to impersonate friends and relatives in order to easily steal large sums of money.
APT targeted attacks are large-scale attacks that have a major impact on large units and agencies such as governments, airlines, banks, etc. with the aim of causing paralysis, disruption, and large-scale extortion.
Notably, with the trend of APT attacks, cyber attack groups today use many super advanced attack techniques and malware along with long preparation time to ensure the attack is sure to achieve its goals.
Analyzing the major information security risks of individual users in 2025, experts assessed: The disclosure, eavesdropping and theft of personal information, accounts and data for the purpose of appropriation and fraud is still the biggest danger for many people.
In particular, it is worrying that while spyware, eavesdropping and counterfeit software on smartphones are increasing, users' awareness of information security is still low.
Previously, the Ministry of Information and Communications requested ministries, branches, localities, organizations and enterprises nationwide to synchronously deploy many measures to strengthen the security of information systems, especially during the Lunar New Year 2025 and the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
The Ministry of Information and Communications has directed enterprises providing telecommunications and Internet services as well as organizations and enterprises providing digital transformation platforms to increase resources to ensure safe and smooth telecommunications and Internet infrastructure and to increase monitoring, support, and troubleshooting.
In addition, businesses are also required to deploy technical measures at the highest level to detect, filter, and prevent cyber attacks, the dissemination of malicious information, and information that violates the law on information systems and network infrastructure under their management.
