Vietnam hosts 2018 ASEAN-Japan cyber securityThe Vietnam Computer Emergency Response Center (VNCERT) hosted the 2018 ASEAN-Japan information security drill, which took place in Hanoi, central Da Nang city and Ho Chi Minh City on May 23. Statistics of the VNCERT show that Vietnam recorded 4,035 cyber attacks this year to May 19, with 2,661 Deface incidents, 776 Malware attacks, and 608 Phishing scams. Therefore, drills on information security in responding to relevant issues should be regularly organised as part of effort to deal with that, he noted. In the drill scenario, Japan first detected small DDoS attacks on the first day, and large-scale attacks took place the following day, blocking access and email of victim units. During the drill, participants focused on creating coordination mechanisms, quickly and accurately operating information transfer stages in all units involved in the case of cyber attacks.
