There are three main groups of fraud (brand counterfeiting, account hijacking and other combined forms) taking place in Vietnam's cyberspace. One of the main causes of this situation is determined to come from users' awareness.

In addition to technical solutions, popularizing and raising awareness to equip each individual with basic knowledge and skills, ensuring information security is a key factor in helping to create a safe Vietnamese cyberspace.

The Ministry of Information and Communications launched the campaign "Action Month to propagate and identify online fraud" under the chairmanship and coordination of the Department of Information Security, to raise awareness and knowledge about online fraud, protecting Vietnamese people from potential risks in cyberspace.
