HANOI, Dec 12 (Reuters) - A Vietnamese court on Saturday sentenced the head of the Hanoi Center for Disease Control and Prevention to 10 years in prison after finding him guilty of wrongdoing linked to the procurement of equipment intended to help tackle the COVID-19 outbreak. Nguyen Nhat Cam, 57, was accused of overstating the cost of COVID-19 testing systems during a transaction, causing a loss of 5.4 billion dong ($233,483) to the state budget, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement. Cam and his accomplices' activities would negatively affect the image of doctors and the anti-COVID-19 agency, angering the public and undermining confidence in the healthcare sector, the statement said. The court also sentenced nine other people to between three and 6-1/2 years in prison for their involvement in the matter. Reuters couldn't immediately reach their lawyers for comment. With its usually strict quarantine and tracking measures, Vietnam has managed to quickly contain outbreaks of the coronavirus. It has registered a total of 1,395 cases and [https://www.wykop.pl/remotelink/?url=https://pastebin.fun/AMAhXB4JJm www.wykop.pl] just 35 deaths.

It is believed that the perpetrators have managed to make millions of dollars against the stolen information in the biggest data breach in US history. Nationality for the accused have recently been made public, white Giang Hoang and Viet Quoc Nguyen are Vietnamese, David-Manuel is Canadian (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); In US history's most extensive data breach, hackers did not just stop at the proprietary information on these Email Service Providers, but went to the extent of using the companies trusted distribution channels to bulk email individuals whose information had been compromised in the breach. In doing so, the perpetrators were able to reap significant amount of profits by diverting substantial amount of email traffic to involved parties. Such an immense spamming exercise has left these trusted channels in ruins, where disgruntled email receivers may very well block or limit respective email addresses, which could significantly hinder any future marketing efforts made by these US Email Service Providers. One of the accused has already pleaded guilty to the charges of computer fraud and data theft. Giang Hoang Vu and Viet Quoc Nguyen resided in the Netherlands, were arrested by the Dutch Law Enforcement in Deventer. However, David-Manuel, a Canadian citizen, is accused of laundering funds on behalf of the two Vietnamese hackers against the money received through the email spamming activity. Viet Quoc Nguyen has been accused of hacking a total of eight Email Service Providers between the years 2009 to 2012 within the US, whereas Giang Hoang Vu was responsible for spamming emails. "This case reflects the cutting edge problems posed by today's cybercrime cases, where the hackers didn't target just a single company; they infiltrated most of the country's email distribution firms," Acting U.S. Attorney John A. Horn said in a statement. The threat posed to these leading tech based companies has surpassed any past indicator. In today's day and age of Internet, it has become imperative for all organizations using modern tech and utilities, to increase security against databases incorporating the wide array of sensitive user information including Social Security Numbers and Financial Credentials, in order to avoid cases of Identity Theft and Fraudulent Financial Activities. Said organizations should undertake extensive procedural restructuring integrating use of Impassable Security Suites and the best encryption software available over the Internet. If an organization is widely dependent on using Secure Cloud Storage, it is imperative for them to use Encrypted Cloud Storage to maximize protection for confidential information held on the cloud around the globe. Online Security is definitely not a onetime investment, in order to keep updated with the ever changing security scenario, organizations are need to keep themselves up to date with the latest trends and technology in order to ensure security for the customers, who have entrusted them with their valuable credentials.

Former Hanoi mayor Nguyen Duc Chung was arrested in August Hanoi's former mayor, a key backer of Vietnam's delayed Formula One Grand Prix, was jailed for five years on Friday for stealing state documents, casting further clouds over the troubled race. Nguyen Duc Chung, who was arrested for corruption in August, was convicted and sentenced after a four-hour closed trial in Hanoi, state media said. Chung was a major supporter of Vietnam's inaugural F1 race, which was due to be held in Hanoi in April but was postponed because of the coronavirus, and later cancelled. Hanoi has been left off a provisional 23-stop Formula One schedule for next year, with a race on April 25 marked 'TBC' (to be confirmed). "At the trial, Chung admitted his crime... and showed his repentance," state-controlled newspaper Tuoi Tre reported. Chung, 53, was suspended as mayor two weeks before his arrest. The one-time director of Hanoi's police department was appointed chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee in 2015. Three other men involved in the case were jailed for between 18 months and four-and-a-half years. It was unclear whether Chung would face further charges. Last month, a source close to the race told AFP that the Vietnam Grand Prix "might not happen" without Chung. "Without Chung, the future of the race in Hanoi is gloomy," the source said. There has been no word from Vietnamese authorities on whether the race would make its belated debut next year, although it's understood that talks are continuing. Some spectator stands have been removed from beside the track. The communist, Southeast Asian nation signed a 10-year deal with Formula One in 2018. State media said it would cost the country $60 million per year. Vietnam hoped the glamour of the sport could reflect the country's economic lift-off and reshape Hanoi's image, much as it has done for [http://images.google.com.bn/url?q=https://topsitenet.com/article/793098-need-an-offshore-sales-office-within-a-tax-free-environment/ http://images.google.com.bn/url?q=https://topsitenet.com/article/793098-need-an-offshore-sales-office-within-a-tax-free-environment/] Singapore.

Vietnam Writer Jailed For 12 Years Over Articles Critical Of...

Tran Duc Thach, a former political prisoner, was pardoned in 2011 but sentenced to another jail term on Tuesday A Vietnamese activist was jailed for 12 years Tuesday after writing articles critical of the government and posting them on his Facebook page, nearly a decade since being released from prison for a similar offence. Writer and poet Tran Duc Thach, who was convicted on charges of attempting to overthrow the government, was also sentenced to three years of house arrest. The 69-year-old was jailed for three years in 2009 for creating "propaganda against the state", [http://ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/login?url=http://grnrsenr.w3.uvm.edu/index.php?title=If-You-Sell-A-Product-Use-Online-Marketing-Part-2-d http://ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/login?url=http://grnrsenr.w3.uvm.edu/index.php?title=If-You-Sell-A-Product-Use-Online-Marketing-Part-2-d] but was among more than 10,000 prisoners granted amnesty in 2011 to mark the country's National Day. Vietnam's government has stepped up efforts in recent months to muzzle critics and dissidents during the run-up to a leadership transition in January which poses an especially tense period for the Communist state. Thach was arrested again in April this year and Tuesday's trial in the north-central province of Nghe An lasted about five hours. "At the court on Tuesday, Thach admitted his crime," state media reported. He was accused of drafting and posting several articles "distorting economic, socio-political events, blackening and humiliating leaders of party and state" on his Facebook page from May 2019 to March 2020, state media said. The one-party state has long jailed its critics, though a hardline leadership in charge since 2016 has ushered in an uptick in arrests and convictions. Thach's jailing came ahead of the party congress scheduled for January, a five-yearly leadership transition where members of the highly secretive Communist Party of Vietnam jostle for influence. Thach's poetry focuses on life without freedom and justice, and his novels cover human rights abuses and the country's legal system. His memoir "A Haunting Collective Grave" tells the story of the mass killing of civilians by northern army soldiers in Dong Nai province in April 1975, which he witnessed. Human Rights Watch deputy Asia director Phil Robertson slammed Thach's detention. "When is Vietnam going to realise that citizens like Tran Duc Thach should be honoured for their commitment to reform and rights, not persecuted for pointing out shortcomings in government and society?" he said in a statement. In 2010, the watchdog said Thach had been arrested at least 10 times since 1978. Earlier this month, Amnesty International accused social media giant Facebook of helping censor peaceful dissent and political expression in the country. The social network admitted earlier this year that it was blocking content deemed illegal by authorities, while its latest transparency report revealed a nearly 1,000 percent increase in the content it censors on government orders compared to the previous six months.
