Dr. Vu Quoc Khanh, Vietnam Computer Emergency Response Team (VNCERT) Director, said 1,428 hacked cases were reported in the first nine months of 2013, higher than last year’s total figure.
On average, computers in Vietnam deliver more than 3.33 million spams daily, he said.
Bach Khoa Internetwork Security Centre (BKAV), a leading internet security firm, warns that cell-phone viruses can affect computers. Internet users should be aware of new ways of hacking via laptops and mobile phones, BKAV suggests.
