HANOI: The Ministry of Public Security on Saturday (May 24) called for strict penalties to prevent the emergence of a black market for personal data, warning that treating such data like ordinary goods could open the door to widespread cybercrime.
Speaking during a National Assembly (NA) session, Public Security Minister Luong Tam Quang said the unauthorised trade in personal data had become a key factor behind large-scale fraud and asset theft cases uncovered by police.
