Experts from Bkav, a leading Vietnamese Internet security company, have
said that spyware, malware and DDoS (distributed denial of service)
attacks will continue to pose major risks in 2014.
Internet security firm Bkav discovered spyware that can infect computers from smartphones. Disguised as an application to free up memory, such as DroidCleaner or
SuperClean, the malware programme downloads command codes to infect
computers.
Spyware had been targeting Vietnamese state agency websites for the
past year, but the country did not have the cybersecurity experts to
cope with the attacks.
