CIC collects 9 categories of information from credit institutions, including customer identification, credit contracts, and credit cards, but not card numbers, security codes, or payment transaction history.
Regarding the incident at CIC, the State Bank of Vietnam says the information stored at the center does not include account balances, credit card numbers, security codes, or transaction history.
According to the Criminal Investigation Department, if personal data at the Credit Information Center (CIC) is stolen, criminals will have more sophisticated and dangerous scams.
The state bank of Vietnam has called on credit institutions, payment intermediaries, and other related entities to assess their information security and promptly address system vulnerabilities.
