On June 27, Lam Dong Provincial Police announced that the Provincial Police Security Investigation Agency had decided to prosecute the criminal case of "intentionally revealing state secrets; appropriating state secret documents" (according to Article 337 of the Penal Code) that occurred at the Thang Long High School exam site (Nam Ban town, Lam Ha district).

Previously, on the morning of June 26, during the literature exam, the invigilator at exam room 2206, Thang Long High School exam site discovered that candidate NPTS (18 years old, residing in Lam Ha district) showed signs of suspected use of high-tech equipment to cheat.

After the exam supervisor reported to the head of the exam site and made a record of suspension, the case was transferred to the Provincial Police for coordination and handling.

Lam Dong Provincial Police have directed the Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention to coordinate with the Department of Internal Political Security to conduct verification.

Initial investigation results show that NPTS ordered a set of equipment including a button camera and wireless headphones from Facebook, and invited BTQ (17 years old, residing in Lam Ha district) to cooperate in solving the questions.

On June 26, NPTS brought the device into the exam room and used a camera to record the exam and send it out through an IOT-connected application that allows real-time image transmission. At the same time, this candidate also set up a call via Facebook Messenger with BTQ to receive the answers.
