Third prize in the promising digital technology product category went to the AI-powered phishing website identification tool developed by a team of young authors from the Anti-Fraud Company.

Cybersecurity expert Ngo Minh Hieu, representing the group of authors, stated that in the Anti-Fraud group, the young people who created the website were only in their third year of university and participated in its development in a technical role.

The team of authors further shared how the system works, explaining that it will be based on building a cybersecurity intelligence system to scan for suspicious websites before they can affect users.

"Currently, our website for detecting and preventing fraud receives thousands of visits from people searching for information and checking websites suspected of fraud and theft online. This motivates us to improve our AI tools for fraud prevention," shared cybersecurity expert Ngo Minh Hieu.
