Vn: Major hospitals hit by cyberattacks, patient data sold on hacker forums

Posted on October 9, 2025 by Dissent

Over the years, DataBreaches has noted hospitals in APAC countries having data leaked or being hit with ransomware attacks, but I have not seen a lot of reviews.

An article by Thai Khang in VietnamNet names mentions some of the bigger hospital breaches in Vietnam since 2024, and then continues:

According to Thuy, in the first six months of 2025, there was a surge in ransomware attacks targeting systems in the energy sector, healthcare, government agencies, and recently even press and information agencies.

He believes that developing the national standard on cybersecurity TCVN 14423:2025 is a core step in state management, providing both guidance and protection for critical information systems.

“Standards are not just for inspection. More importantly, they guide, instruct, and help organizations secure their infrastructure,” Thuy emphasized.

Read more at VietnamNet.

The article included: “Reports showed that cyberattacks to healthcare systems occurred at An Giang central general hospital, where the virtualized server system was hit by hackers, encrypting all data and halting operations.”  The article does not identify what gang or individuals were responsible for the attack.
