“The campaign “Not alone - Together online safety” carries a simple yet profound message: In the online world, no one is alone. Safety is only true when we protect each other,” Colonel Bui Thanh Truc emphasized.

The campaign aims to: Raise awareness among students and the community about the sophisticated tricks of online kidnapping criminals, equip them with skills to prevent, identify and respond to dangerous situations online, build a sense of responsibility and solidarity: each young person knows how to protect themselves and be a "companion" to protect everyone.

Students answered questions at the ceremony.

“Be careful when sharing personal information online. Stay calm, do not rush to believe threatening messages or calls or requests for information. When you see unusual signs, boldly share with teachers, family or report to the authorities. And especially, remember: You are never alone,” Colonel Bui Thanh Truc emphasized.
