Online fraud is getting more sophisticated

Phishing attacks and online fraud continue to be identified by experts as one of the prominent cyber attack trends in Vietnam's cyberspace in 2025 as well as the next period.

It is predicted that the two main risks that users will face in the near future are malware that monitors and steals information and online scams. Specifically, the forms of scams will constantly change; there are very sophisticated forms but there are also very simple forms that many people still fall for.

Cybersecurity experts say that fake attacks and online scams often target people who do not have much experience or understanding of digital platforms. Taking advantage of this, scammers can easily use images and technology to impersonate friends and relatives in order to steal large sums of money from victims.

Digital transformation creates a new habit for users to install a lot of software on their phones and computers. Many malicious software with malicious codes will be mixed into application stores, making the possibility of users' devices being controlled, tracked, and having their information stolen increasingly high.

In addition, hot development software will always have security holes, hackers can use these holes to penetrate and control users' devices remotely.

Meanwhile, new technology is the tool that helps criminals easily commit crimes, but the danger of these scams is that they exploit people's psychology, lack of skills and greed.

In that context, experts recommend that users need to equip and update anti-virus and security software for computers and mobile phones; use strong passwords, which combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters; enable multi-factor authentication to enhance security for important accounts such as banks, emails, and social networking accounts.

Users are also advised not to use the same password for multiple accounts; do not click on strange links, especially in emails or messages of unknown origin; check the origin of applications before downloading, and only download applications from official stores such as: App Store, Google Play or the official website of the product provider; limit the use of public wifi for important transactions such as money transfers, account login.
