How to protect your accounts

RUNS IN YOUR BROWSER

Check your password strength

Scammers often buy old leaked data and use it to guess your password. Type a password you often use to see how strong or weak it is.

Completely safe: the check happens right in your browser. Nothing you type is ever sent anywhere.

passwords

Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Relying purely on classic passwords is no longer enough to secure your accounts.

  • Enable TOTP app-based MFA (such as Google Authenticator, Bitwarden, or Aegis) on all email, finance, and social media tools.
  • Avoid SMS/Voice OTP if possible, as hackers can deploy sim-swapping tricks or intercept network packets.
  • Always backup your standard MFA recovery seed-keys in a secure physical location (like written offline vault notes).

Anatomy of a Malicious Communication

Phishing scammers exploit urgency and fear to manipulate normal emotional patterns.

  • Scrutinize the actual sender domain: look for subtle typos (e.g., faceb00k.com, vietcombaank.com).
  • Look for aggressive emotional levers (e.g., 'your card has been permanently suspended', 'win a free high-end laptop').
  • Never click links inside sudden SMS texts. Instead, manually search for and navigate to the official product website.
passwords

Adopt Password Managers & High Entropy

Reusing identical or close variations of a password means a single breach compromises your entire digital footprint.

  • Adopt a secure password manager (e.g., Bitwarden, 1Password) to generate complex, unguessable strings of 16+ letters, symbols, and digits.
  • Avoid choosing credentials with common birthday sequences, names of pets, or common hometown postal labels.
  • Set a unique and high-entropy Master Password that is easy for you to recall but completely unguessable by bruteforce dictionary algorithms.
privacy

Cleanse Your Public OSINT Signature

Social engineering relies on gathering open-source intelligence (OSINT) about you.

  • Review privacy grids on Facebook and LinkedIn, hiding personal phone numbers and emails from public indexes.
  • Avoid posting high-resolution photos of identity sheets, driver licenses, or airport boarding passes.
  • Regularly audit active application authorizations connected to your Google and social accounts.

Police impersonators making Deepfake video calls

Criminals use AI to create faces and uniforms that look exactly like real police, deliberately make the video glitchy as if the signal is weak, then call to claim the victim is involved in a serious money-laundering case.

What happens

Frightened victims follow the instructions and transfer all their savings into an account described as 'held for investigation' — and lose everything.

How to avoid it

Remember: the police never handle cases or ask for money transfers over the phone. Every real investigation comes with a summons delivered in person.

Phishing via text messageUpdated May 24, 2026

Fake sites offering social-insurance support

An SMS impersonating a trusted brand includes a link, luring people to enter their details to claim a social-support package worth a few million dong.

What happens

Scammers capture your OTP code, login name, and banking password, then drain your account in moments.

How to avoid it

Government social-insurance bodies only use domains ending in '.gov.vn'. Check the address carefully before entering any information.

Decoding the psychology of manipulation

Understanding how scammers think

How do scammers know my full name and phone number — and even my relatives' — to threaten me?

The scammer's view

They buy data from old breaches of shopping sites that were hacked, then add family connections gathered from public comments and posts on social media to build a convincing story.

How to protect yourself

Leaked information isn't magic — it usually comes from being careless about privacy. Move sensitive information on social media to private or friends-only.

Why do scammers always rush me to transfer money before I can think?

The scammer's view

They deliberately create panic or urgency (a child in the emergency room, you're tied to a crime, your private photos are leaked) so you lose your composure and can't think clearly.

How to protect yourself

A call that both threatens and rushes you is the clearest sign of a scam. Hang up, take a deep breath, wait about 5 minutes, then call your relative or the official agency yourself using a trusted public number to verify.
