The Hanoi People's Committee has just planned to implement Official Dispatch No. 29/CD-TTg dated April 3, 2025 and continue to implement Official Dispatch No. 139/CD-TTg dated December 23, 2024 of the Prime Minister on strengthening and promoting the prevention and handling of activities using high technology in cyberspace to fraudulently appropriate property.
