Mr. Vu Ngoc Son, Head of Research, Consulting, Technology Development and International Cooperation Department of NCA said: “Currently, the nTrust anti-fraud database has more than 1 million records, verified and synthesized from data sources of the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Information and Communications, State Bank and member cybersecurity organizations of NCA. We hope that after its launch, with the participation of the user community, this data set will increase rapidly in the near future”.

Users can download nTrust starting today to protect their phones and join the nTrust anti-fraud community. Accordingly, if they detect any signs of fraud, users can send reports of suspicious phone numbers, account numbers, links, and apps to the center through the built-in features on the software. These reports will be collected, verified, and updated for the entire nTrust user community.

Organizational model and operation of nTrust software

nTrust anti-fraud software emphasizes privacy, allowing users to be fully proactive in controlling and selecting the information to check and report.

In particular, unlike foreign software with similar features on the market, the entire processing process related to checking for scam and annoying calls will only be performed on the phone, without sending any information to the server.

In recent times, anti-fraud measures from regulatory agencies such as standardizing telecommunications subscribers, popularizing and guiding on personal data protection, and most recently requiring biometric authentication have gradually narrowed the scope of activities of fraudsters. However, experts also believe that online fraud will continue to have variations with new forms and technologies appearing. nTrust will contribute as an effective protective shield, supporting users to detect fraud risks early before transacting in cyberspace.
