Technology 7/8: Prevent 7 million malicious app installations from June 2025

Prevented 7 million malicious app installs

After more than 2 months of implementation (from June 2025), the "Safer with Google" campaign to promote anti-online fraud and protect Vietnamese users, jointly organized by Google and the Department of Cyber Security and High-tech Crime Prevention - Ministry of Public Security , has announced its first results.

The campaign has released an online fraud prevention handbook, which identifies common forms of fraud in Vietnam and provides preventive measures and technological solutions from Google. This document helps people equip themselves with knowledge to protect themselves when participating in online activities.

The campaign also features eight educational videos focusing on the seven most common types of fraud, with practical advice on how to identify and avoid them.

Google Play has blocked nearly 7 million installations of suspected malware apps on 1.6 million Android devices. The Government App Badge initiative has verified more than 110 official apps, helping users avoid impersonation scams.

This campaign is part of the long-term “Safer with Google” initiative, aiming to build a safe digital ecosystem for all Vietnamese people.

TSMC faces double risk

Taiwan's TSMC, the world's leading chipmaker, is facing two serious challenges: an unprecedented technology leak and political pressure from the United States.

Six engineers were arrested on suspicion of stealing trade secrets related to the production of 2-nanometer chips – a technology that has not yet been commercialized and is considered the most advanced today. Three were detained, including a former employee surnamed Chen who was accused of taking photos of confidential documents with his personal phone.

At the same time, President Trump announced that TSMC would have to buy 49% of Intel's shares. This would affect the company's operational independence and technological advantage. TSMC confirmed that it would only maintain its plan to invest 165 billion USD in Arizona, with no expansion plans as Trump announced.
