Implement the campaign "Skills to identify and prevent online fraud to protect people in cyberspace".

To increase public awareness and reduce the risks of being scammed online, from now until November 20, 2024, the Ministry of Information and Communications officially launched the campaign "Skills to identify and prevent online scams to protect people online".

According to the Department of Information Security, in the first 9 months of 2024, more than 22,200 reports of online fraud were received from Internet users to the Vietnam Information Security Warning Portal.

In addition to technical measures, raising awareness, along with basic to advanced skills for people is considered one of the leading measures to help prevent the negative impacts of online fraud. When people and vulnerable people master the skills to identify and prevent online fraud, they will be more vigilant, thereby reducing the problem of online fraud that occurs every day.

Preventing fraud in cyberspace is not only the responsibility of state management agencies but also the responsibility of the whole society. Self-protection in cyberspace is a never-ending journey, requiring constant vigilance and effort. Each person needs to grasp the necessary knowledge and skills to become a safe and smart user in cyberspace.

The campaign focuses on disseminating knowledge and skills on identifying and preventing online fraud, raising awareness and knowledge for people through 5 main skill groups, including: Identification skills, detection skills, handling skills, prevention skills and protection skills.
