Vietnam Securities Broker Suffers Cyberattack That Suspended Trading

VNDirect, one of Vietnam's largest brokerages, was hit by a cyberattack that encrypted company data and forced a temporary suspension of trading; the firm has completed decrypting blocked data and is restoring systems in staged phases. Regulators say the impact appears limited to VNDirect with no evidence of contagion, and few technical details or indicators have been disclosed.
