Vietnam condemns cyberattacks on European supermarket systems

Vietnam has issued a strong condemnation of recent cyberattacks targeting supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pham Thu Hang stated that these incidents demonstrate an expanding cybersecurity risk that threatens not only data and information systems but also production, supply chains, and the daily lives of citizens.

Vietnam emphasized the critical importance of securing essential infrastructure, including energy, telecommunications, finance, healthcare, transportation, and goods supply. The government noted that such security measures must be proactively implemented from an early stage to prevent disruptions.

In response to emerging threats, Vietnamese authorities are assessing risks and researching appropriate measures to guide citizens in proactive prevention and response, aiming to avoid social panic.
