Minister Le Quy Vuong said on October 29.
He made the remark in his opening speech at a conference in Hanoi on the enhancement of international cooperation on high-tech crime prevention and control, the first of its kind in Vietnam.
Senior Lieutenant General Vuong said the conference provided a platform for participants to break down legal barriers in order to strengthen collaboration in the fight against cyber crime with a view to guaranteeing security and social order in each country and the world at large.
Lieutenant General Phan Van Vinh, General Director of the ministry’s General Police Department for Crime Prevention and Control, said cyber crime has become a major threat to social order and national safety around the globe.
He quoted an Interpol report as saying that a high-tech crime was committed every 14 seconds, the second most serious crime after terrorism. It caused an estimated damage of 445 billion USD, higher than earnings made by the illegal drug trade.
Since 2009, Vietnam’s Police Department for High-Tech Crime Prevention has collaborated with foreign agencies to verify and investigate nearly 100 cyber crime-related cases, he noted.
During the two-day conference, domestic and international delegates are scheduled to share up-to-date information on cyber crime and exchange experience in cyber crime investigations. They also discuss measures to remove legal barriers to cooperation in the field.
The event is attended by cyber security experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and the European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3), as well as a number of experts from countries around the world.-VNA
