On June 30, the Internal Political Security Department, Hanoi City Police Department issued a decision to prosecute the case of unintentionally disclosing State Secrets (according to Article 338, Penal Code 2015, amended and supplemented in 2017) to investigate and clarify the case of leaking high school graduation exam questions that occurred in Hanoi on June 26, 2025.
Previously, the press and social networks reported suspicions related to the leaking of the Math exam. Accordingly, a photo of a part of the exam was posted on an artificial intelligence (AI) math solving application before the end of the exam time (from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on June 26, 2025). This information caused candidates and parents to express concerns and worries about the confidentiality of the exam and the seriousness and seriousness of the exam.
Immediately afterwards, the Internal Political Security Department, Ministry of Public Security directed the City Police to urgently verify and clarify the incident. Implementing the direction of the Internal Political Security Department and the Director of the City Police, the Internal Political Security Department of the City Police coordinated with the professional units of the Ministry of Public Security and the Investigation Security Department, the Cyber Security Department and the High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of the Hanoi City Police to quickly take action.
Through investigation, the authorities initially determined that candidate NVK had secretly brought a mobile phone into the exam room, took a photo of part of the Math exam, and uploaded it to the StudyX application to solve the exam, but was only able to copy the answers to 2 exam questions. In addition, NVK also took photos and uploaded the Chemistry and Physics exam questions during the exam on June 27, 2025.
Expanding the investigation, another case was discovered that also used a phone to cheat on the exam. Similar to NVK, candidate LTMA secretly brought a phone into the exam room to take pictures of the Math, History, and English exam questions and then used the AI Gemini application on the phone to solve the exam questions. The exam board discovered the violation, made a record of the violation of exam regulations, and suspended the exam.
Currently, the case is being urgently investigated and clarified by the City Police to strictly handle it according to the law.
The above incident shows that, in addition to the reason that candidates intentionally violated the exam regulations, although the Hanoi City Examination Steering Committee has organized many training conferences for exam supervisors and inspectors in preventing and detecting cheating in the exam, some exam supervisors have not properly performed their duties and responsibilities during the exam, leading to candidates still violating the regulations.
In the coming time, the City Police said it will continue to advise the education sector to organize propaganda and training activities to raise awareness and responsibility for exam invigilators, promote the use of technical solutions, and apply information technology in exams to prevent similar incidents from happening.
Through the above incident, the Internal Political Security Department recommends to parents and candidates: Using a phone to take pictures of the exam and posting them on AI applications, the internet or sending them to outside parties to solve the questions while the exam is still confidential is a violation of the law on State Secret Protection.
Candidates who violate the rules will be suspended from the exam, have their exam results canceled, and will be subject to administrative and even criminal penalties, depending on the nature, severity, and consequences of the violation.
