Experts warned that false claims of data breaches not only damage the reputation of institutions and cause public anxiety, but also create opportunities for online scams. Such incidents can erode trust in digital services, disrupt the business environment, and have long-term social consequences.
HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Public Security on September 15 issued a warning about fake news circulating online linked with the recent incident at the Credit Information Centre of Vietnam (CIC).
According to the ministry, in recent days some individuals have exploited public attention on the CIC case to spread false claims of “data leaks” at other agencies and organisations.
These rumours, which spread quickly on social media and online forums, targeted sensitive sectors including energy, banking, transport and delivery services.
After verification with relevant agencies, including detailed analysis of data samples and information fields, the National Cybersecurity Association confirmed that these reports were fabricated and had no factual basis.
Despite this, careless sharing and commenting by some internet users amplified the disinformation, creating confusion and complicating fact-checking efforts.
