Report Vietnam Tightens Cybersecurity: 24-Hour Content Removal Rule
File photo for reference only In a bid to bolster cybersecurity, Vietnam plans to enforce stricter measures for telecommunications providers, demanding they remove illegal content within 24 hours upon request. This development comes from a draft amendment to the Cybersecurity Law, currently open for public feedback. Drafted by the Ministry of Public Security, the amendment merges elements from the 2015 Law on Cyberinformation Security and the 2018 Cybersecurity Law. The aim is to reinforce Vietnam's legal and organisational framework to address growing cyber threats effectively. The revised law targets both domestic and foreign businesses operating in Vietnam’s cyberspace, obligating them to verify user identities during digital account registrations and ensure robust account security. Additionally, these businesses must provide user data to the Ministry's cybersecurity unit if requested, via various communication methods including written documents or emails. Crucially, the law mandates that these providers block or remove illegal content, services, or applications within just 24 hours of receiving an official notification. They must also retain system logs to aid investigations and manage violations. The Ministry of Public Security emphasises that Vietnam's cyberspace is increasingly fraught with threats to national security and public order. There's been a notable rise in cyberattacks, espionage, and the leaking of state secrets, with hackers becoming more sophisticated in their approach. Targets regularly include central government bodies and major enterprises, particularly those holding sensitive intelligence and state secrets. Hackers aim to exploit these systems, often focusing on foreign policy, defence, and security sectors, as well as preparing for potential sabotage. On average, the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention uncovers over 2,600 compromised ".vn" websites and portals annually, many of which have been altered or infected with malware. Dozens of incidents involving leaked state documents have been recorded, exposing sensitive data across various ministries and localities. The government intends to present this amended Cybersecurity Law at the National Assembly's 10th session later this year, aiming to secure cyberspace and shield Vietnam from escalating cyber threats. This move is a clear response to the pressing need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in Vietnam, a country witnessing rapid digital growth. While the proposed law aims to strengthen protections, it also underscores the delicate balance between security and privacy, posing significant implications for businesses and individuals alike. With these changes, Vietnam is signalling a strong commitment to combating cybercrime and safeguarding its digital infrastructure, a step expected to resonate across the region. As cyber threats continue to evolve, such decisive legal frameworks become increasingly crucial in maintaining national and digital security. Adapted by ASEAN Now from VN Express 2025-07-25 -
