Hanoi (VNA) - Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang affirmed there is no basis to believe that a group of hackers related to Vietnam attacked some foreign websites to gain information.

Speaking at a regular press conference on May 14, Hang affirmed that Vietnam strictly prohibits all cyberattacks in any form targeting organisations and individuals.

Acts of attacking and threatening cyber security must be severely condemned and punished in accordance with legal provisions, she stressed.
