Cyber ​​attacks are on the rise

Recently, cyber attacks in Vietnam have increased and become more complex. In 2024, Vietnam recorded a loss of 9.5 trillion USD due to cyber attacks and this figure could reach 17.9 trillion USD by 2030. This increase shows the increasing danger of cyber threats. Individual users and businesses really need to improve security in a complex digital environment.

In Vietnam, hackers have applied many different cyber attack methods such as: Attacks with malware; Social network attacks, fake - Social, Phising; Attacks on businesses providing applications and software; Ransomware attacks; Denial of service attacks - DDoS; Exploiting 0-day security vulnerabilities; Application attacks; Attacks using AI - Machine Learning.

Malware is the most prevalent threat, with thousands of attacks recorded every day. In the first half of 2024, malware-based threats increased by 30% compared to the same period in 2023, with a peak increase of 92% in May alone (CIS).
