Ca Mau Provincial Police said criminals are increasingly using common tactics to take control of social media accounts and carry out fraud, including messages that ask victims to borrow money or request transfers from the victim’s relatives and friends.
On the afternoon of April 12, police reported that the Zalo account of a director of a department in Ca Mau was hacked. Beforehand, messages were sent to many people asking for loans. Police said that with trust and complacency, many recipients did not verify the information and transferred money quickly, leading to financial losses.
Police said criminals are using more sophisticated methods to keep control of accounts for longer periods. One method involves repeatedly using the “forgot password” function so the system sends verification codes to the victim’s phone number.

The Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Office of Ca Mau Police advised residents to strengthen vigilance and actively protect social media accounts by enabling two-factor authentication.
Police said that recently, the Zalo accounts of several department directors and local commune leaders in Ca Mau were hacked and used to inquire about loans. Police added that when receiving suspicious messages, many people chose to respond in a way that helped criminals send transfer information, which was then saved as evidence for reporting to authorities.
