“It’s believed the hackers broke in through a hole in DNS to control the administration,” said VNCERT Technical Branch Chief Do Ngoc Duy Trac.

Trac also said VNCERT recommended Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC) and other internet service providers (ISPs) assist the recovery work.

PA Vietnam Ltd, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Information and Communication’s National Domain Center, is one of the companies that provides the “.vn” domain.

Statistics from VNNIC showed PA Vietnam was hosting 9,738 active domains, accounting for 14.39 percent of the domestic market, making it the second biggest among the 16 companies offering such services in Vietnam.
