[liberationtech] Vietnam cyber quiz points to knowledge gaps

[Gray, Michael]

Lamsaodevao.com, a Vietnamese-language cyber-skills website, has released
the results

of
an online cyber awareness quiz. The results confirm that account theft
plagues Vietnam’s Internet, while also pointing to the digital safety
lapses that facilitate this theft.

Of 787 respondents, 86% reported some experience with or awareness of
Facebook account hacking – either they or their friends had lost accounts,
or hackers had attempted to steal their accounts. Only a small minority had
no personal experience or awareness of account hacking. For email accounts,
the results were similar – some 72% said they or their friends had been
victims of hacking.

[liberationtech] Research on Facebook account theft in Vietnam

[Gray, Michael]

Dear list,

Facebook account theft is an epidemic in Vietnam. Youthful users, lack of
awareness, and a culture of informal lending have created a perfect storm
for hackers to abuse. Vietnamese youth require help to rapidly improve
their awareness and use of cyber security best practices to stop the
hacking craze. Please see:
