The E-commerce Development Centre (Ecomviet) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has issued a warning of the growing complexity of online fraud, emphasising that users will face two key threats - surveillance malware designed to steal information - and evolving online scams.

VOV.VN - The police of Da Nang city, central Vietnam, have dismantled an international online fraud organization led by a Chinese national.

Authorities at the Moc Bai international border gate have identified 14 among 410 Vietnamese citizens returning from Cambodia suspected of involvement in online fraud, said the Tay Ninh provincial Border Guard Command on December 13.
