According to security experts, the number of fraud reports in the second quarter was higher than the first quarter (the first quarter recorded 29,251 reports), possibly due to long holidays and bad actors taking advantage of vulnerabilities before the biometric update regulations took effect.
Specifically, April recorded 10,235 reports and May recorded 9,523 - a slight but insignificant decrease. By June, the number of reports reached 11,452.
By June, the number of reports of scams/cyberattacks was at its highest in a quarter with 11,452, reflecting a clear escalation in the cybersecurity and fraud situation.
According to the Anti-Fraud representative, the reason for the increase in online fraud in June may be due to the subjects taking advantage of security weaknesses in online payments and banking, right before Decision 2345/QD-NHNN took effect on July 1 to enhance security for online payment transactions.
One of the tricks used is to use malware to take control of the device. Then, they collect sensitive data including images, videos and eKYC information.
With the collected information, the scammer can access the victim's bank account and e-wallet and steal money by enticing them to install fake VNeID, VssID applications or impersonating bank employees.
Some recommended solutions to prevent fraud include regularly updating information security knowledge, monitoring sources such as tinnhiemmang.vn, khonggianmang.vn and dauhieuluadao.com to proactively protect yourself in cyberspace.
Organizations need to improve security measures, train employees on anti-fraud skills, and establish incident response procedures. In addition, authorities also need to coordinate closely with organizations and users to develop policies and regulations to protect people and the digital economy .
