Answering a question related to the leak ofpersonal information and phone numbers, Lam said that the situation isdeveloping complicatedly in Vietnam.
This year, the Ministry of Public Securityhas issued warnings and handled many cases related to database intrusion. However,people's awareness of data protection is not high, as many willingly provide theirpersonal information to others and businesses when performing civiltransactions.
To address this problem, the minister said his ministry has advisedthe Government to issue Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP on personal data protection,and plans to propose making a law on this issue to submit to the NationalAssembly for comments in 2024. At the same time, the ministry will also propose adding the crime ofrevealing and leaking personal data to the 2015 Penal Code so as to strictly handlethis act.
More efforts will be made to increasepublic vigilance and raise their awareness of personal data protection, Lamstated, adding that the Ministry of Public Security regularly coordinates with otherministries, sectors and localities to review and fix security loopholes indatabase information systems, especially the National Database on Population./.
