The Authority of Information Security said over 400,000 IP addresses in Vietnam are contaminated with malware from an advanced persistent threat (APT).
It issued an urgent warning on Wednesday about an organized malware attack from foreign sources, saying it is a scheme against the Vietnamese government and key information infrastructure in the country.

"This is an intentional attack from international hackers against the Vietnamese government and its vital information infrastructure," Nguyen Khac Lich, its deputy general director, said.
The contaminated computers also act as a conduit to attack other computers. Consequently, a botnet is created, and it serves as a foundation for a large-scale attack against national information systems.

The attack might result in national security information being stolen by the hackers for a long time.
