Campaign launched to detect loopholes on anti-COVID-19 tech platforms
It aims to further
collect feedback from experts on possible errors and security loopholes on current tech
platforms in the field, thereby better ensuring information safety and helping
developers beware of emerging risks.
In late
August, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the MIC’s Authority of
Information Security and the VNSecurity Foundation jointly launched a bug bounty programme
called BugRank at https://bugrank.io/user/NCSC/policy.
One month
after its implementation, the programme received opinions from nearly 90 experts
who submitted 81 reports on platforms’ loopholes and shortcomings.
NCSC Director
Tran Quang Hung said that the prompt detection and repair to security vulnerabilities
of the applications and systems will help mitigate risks and losses, especially
to those which were recently launched like PC-COVID.
