The Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention and Control – A05 under the Ministry of Public Security has just updated information on the fight against organized gambling and online gambling crimes.

This agency said that in recent times, it has synchronously deployed measures and professional work to combat and destroy many large-scale, complex gambling rings and gangs and online gambling organizations nationwide.

Professional units regularly exchange and coordinate with functional units of the Ministry of Information and Communications to proactively review, detect and block websites, links and social network accounts that advertise and organize gambling in cyberspace. The results of these activities have contributed to repelling and preventing the complex activities of gambling crimes, limiting economic damage and consequences for society and maintaining security and order in cyberspace.

The false "denunciation" about the authorities' work to combat and handle "websites" and gambling rings is actually malicious information spread by the subjects to advertise gambling rings.

Recently, the activities of this type of crime have become increasingly sophisticated, constantly changing access domain names, using server systems located abroad to avoid detection, tracing, and prevention by functional units.

Specifically, the subjects used social networking platforms, especially Facebook, to post advertising information about online gambling activities. "Some subjects also spread false "denunciations" about the work of fighting and handling "websites" and gambling rings by the authorities. This is essentially bad, toxic, and untrue information aimed at attracting public opinion, attacking and discrediting the authorities for the purpose of advertising about websites and gambling rings," A05 noted.

Faced with the above situation, A05 is currently coordinating with functional units to verify and trace subjects who spread false information advertising online gambling activities and "denunciations" to strictly handle them according to the provisions of the law.

A05 also recommends that people strictly comply with legal regulations, raise awareness and consciousness about the consequences and harms of online gambling crimes; be vigilant against tricks and activities that entice and entice people to participate in online gambling activities.

In case of detecting suspicious subjects related to advertising activities, organizing gambling, and online gambling, people need to immediately report to the nearest police agency for timely handling.

“The Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention will closely coordinate with the police of units, localities, functional agencies of the Ministry of Information and Communications, and people to fight and eradicate gambling dens and networks, and online gambling in all forms; coordinate with functional sectors to prosecute and strictly try violators before the law,” the new information released by A05 stated.
