H. further confessed that he bought a set of devices to try out; however, he was discovered and confiscated by authorities before he could sell them to customers.

Through questioning, P. and L. stated that they rented the cheating devices from a fanpage called "Rent Miniature Headphones" managed by the "N.D.G" group in Hanoi; the "N.D.G" group also organized a nationwide cheating ring for foreign language certificate exams using high-tech equipment for many years.

On the afternoon of June 26th, the Cyber Security Department (Lam Dong Provincial Police) coordinated with the Information Security Department of the Cyber Security Bureau (Ministry of Public Security) and Market Management Team No. 11 - Hanoi City Market Management Department to conduct an administrative inspection and discovered that N.D.G (33 years old, from Bac Ninh, temporarily residing in Kien Hung Ward, Ha Dong District, Hanoi City) was buying and selling high-tech equipment used for cheating in exams.
The police are working with G.
The items seized from G.'s house included 10 sets of miniature earphones, 10 Nokia phones with wires connected to a small microphone, and 10 miniature magnetic earpieces, approximately 2 mm in size, along with hundreds of electronic components to assemble recording devices for cheating in exams.
G. confessed that, during use, the user inserted a tiny earpiece into their ear canal, and a phone with a SIM card and microphone was hidden in their clothing to communicate outside the exam room. In addition, they combined this with a miniature button-shaped camera device that automatically recorded and photographed the exam questions, sending them outside. The group outside would then receive the video and images of the exam questions via software, solve the questions, and read the answers back inside through the tiny earpiece.
The evidence and equipment used for cheating in exams were found at G's house.
G. also confessed that, since 2018, through his research, he learned that many students and workers needed to buy and use secret audio and video recording devices to cheat on exams. Therefore, G. contacted several other people and ordered these devices from abroad via the internet to buy, install, and sell these miniature disguised devices for exam cheating to make a profit.
Over the years, G. has sold hundreds of sets of equipment at prices ranging from 1 to 6 million VND per unit.
The police are currently working to expand their investigation and clarify the actions of these individuals in order to prosecute them according to the law.
