Kaspersky gives simple tips to keep your phone from being hacked

(NLDO)- Cybercrime organizations currently operate in a very complex manner, following a model similar to a large company, making it possible for anyone to become a victim.

On October 28, in Ho Chi Minh City, Kaspersky announced key investments and new strategic initiatives, strengthening its presence and expanding its market share in Vietnam. Education is one of the top priorities of this enterprise in its sustainable development strategy.

Close cooperation with schools

Kaspersky said it is working closely with domestic universities to build practical educational programs, equipping students and young engineers with knowledge and skills to respond to increasingly complex cyber threats.

Recently, Kaspersky signed a memorandum of understanding with the People's Security Academy to promote research, training and improve professional capacity in the field of information security.

Mr. Adrian Hia, Managing Director of Asia- Pacific (APAC) of Kaspersky, said that Mr. Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky, directly attended the signing ceremony with the People's Security Academy, demonstrating the company's long-term commitment to accompanying Vietnam in developing a team of highly qualified cybersecurity personnel.

"This is a necessary step to strengthen protection capacity for the accelerating digital economy," said Mr. Adrian Hia.

Kaspersky also partners with entities such as iSpace and many other cybersecurity academies to organize training programs, workshops and intensive practical courses, and provide materials to help lecturers and students update their knowledge on new trends and threats.

Prevent cybercrime from the start

Regarding cybersecurity, Mr. Adrian Hia, Managing Director of Asia-Pacific (APAC) of Kaspersky, said that according to initial statistics, in the first 6 months of 2025, Vietnam recorded more than 300,000 cyber attacks, with an average of about 1,600 data leaks per day.

Cybercrime organizations now operate in a very complex manner, following a model similar to a large company with full positions such as analysis, finance, operations engineer, etc. Estimated financial losses are up to 20 billion USD and fraud is considered a lucrative piece of cake.

Faced with the increasing number of scams, Mr. Hia recommends that users update their operating systems regularly, change their passwords every 3-6 months, and avoid using simple passwords.

"These simple measures will help people avoid falling into scam traps. In fact, prevention is always more effective than overcoming the consequences," Mr. Adrian Hia emphasized.

Mr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh, Country Director of Kaspersky in Vietnam, shares about cyber security

Referring to the recently signed Hanoi Convention, Mr. Ngo Tan Vu Khanh, Country Director of Kaspersky in Vietnam, said that this is an important step forward in preventing high-tech crimes.

Previously, digital investigation and collection of electronic evidence often took 1-2 years. Thanks to the convention, this process will be significantly shortened, many times faster.

The Convention also paves the way for easier international extradition coordination, as participating countries commit to respecting Vietnamese law. This is an important legal basis to protect people and improve the effectiveness of handling digital crimes globally.

According to Mr. Khanh, Kaspersky has also participated in this process, providing data and information to support the investigation, and cooperating with the Ministry of Public Security to develop cybersecurity products and platforms, aiming to build a safer digital environment for Vietnam.
