FAQ

Does Vietnam have a national cyber threat level?

No published national cyber threat level was found for Vietnam (checked 7 Nov 2026). The Ministry of Public Security's Department of Cybersecurity and the National Cybersecurity Association issue warnings.

Which organisations in Vietnam confirmed cyber incidents recently?

5 incidents confirmed since January 2026: HOCMAI, Quang Ninh cross-province data and fraud ring, Ho Chi Minh City vacation-contract fraud rings, National Vaccination Information System (Ministry of Health, Department of Preventive Medicine) and Two unnamed ministry-level agencies.

Which Vietnam organisations appear on ransomware or leak sites?

34 claims, not confirmed by the organisations: ZipAI (zipai.vn), FPT Software, dangvuongcac, Nam Dinh Vu Port, Vietnam SuperPort, Mat Bao Corporation, VUS English Center and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (sso-ingo.mofa.gov.vn) and others.

What counts as a confirmed incident?

The organisation, a regulator, the police or a minister has said something happened, as reported by a named outlet. Everything else is listed as claimed.

Why list leak-site claims at all?

Ransomware and extortion crews post victims on leak sites before anyone confirms. The list shows what attackers say. Treat it as a lead and check with the organisation.

Is the map a live attack feed?

No. It counts incidents and claims reported in 2026. Live attack maps from security vendors show scanning traffic hitting their sensors, which does not mean a place was attacked.

How often is it updated?

By hand when a national level changes or a notable incident is reported. The date is shown in the header.

Sources: official statements and regional press, including Bernama, The Star, Malay Mail, CNN Indonesia and Newsbytes.PH; leak-site claims from public ransomware trackers. Each entry links its source.
