Vietnam has rarely been associated with cybercrime activity in the same way other Asian nations, such as China, North Korea, and Iran, have in recent years. But that could change soon.
According to a new report from Intsights, cybercrime and cyber espionage activity in Vietnam is growing.

At least one previously known advanced persistent threat (APT) group — APT32/OceanLotus — appears to be working in support of the government's strategic interests.
The threat actor has also been increasingly going after automobile manufacturers in advance of the planned launch of Vietnam's first domestically manufactured vehicles this September.

"This is an optimal time to be keeping a close eye on Vietnam, their economy, and their cyber operations — both state-sponsored and group," says Charity Wright, cyberthreat intelligence analyst at IntSights.

"We are witnessing the rise and development of a viable global cyberthreat and notable migration of young, technical population to the Deep and Dark Web," Wright says.

Everybody else is jumping on the bandwagon of strafing new pokes into Windows systems limitations.

When you hand out candy (mass distribution) and sugar to the whole world in the name of modern innovation, what are we to expect?
