Chong Lua Dao

'Scam Fighters')[1][2] is a Vietnamese non-profit cybersecurity organization that helps clients verify the legitimacy of websites and block access to dangerous ones to keep them safe while using the internet.

[20] The "ChongLuaDao" project, including the website and the plug-in extension, is formally launched by February 2021,[21][22] with server infrastructure operated by Vietnix Hosting.

[27] They continued to release apps for Android and deploy application development for IOS after the plug-in extension's success on web browser platforms.

[34][35] By the start of 2023, ChongLuaDaol had attracted more than 300,000 users to join the community through Telegram, Facebook, and web browser extensions, helping more than 11,000 victims of cyber fraud.

[36] In its more than two years of operation, the project has received collaboration and support from significant institutions and tech companies like PhishTank, Meta, and Viettel Cyber Security.

[38][39] Additionally, the app has 50,000 regular users, and its widgets and API threat feeds have been included in many other worldwide products, such as those from Kaspersky Anti-Virus software and Cisco (OpenDNS), Viettel, and CyRadar, among other security and cybersecurity firms.

[62][63] ChongLuaDao formally inked an agreement with the Law Library (Vietnamese: Thư viện Pháp luật) in October of the same year to collaborate in the implementation of assistance programs to safeguard users from the danger of cyber fraud.

A strategic data sharing cooperation between Chong Lua Dao and AI SPERA, the creator of the Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) search engine Criminal IP, was launched on June 7, 2023.

With the involvement of several corporate executives and specialists in the sectors of technology and cybersecurity, the conference was held over the course of three days in Nha Trang under the topic "Connecting for a Safer Digital Future: Passwordless Authentication in the APAC Region."

At the event, ChongLuaDao and network services company VinCSS signed a partnership agreement with the goal of engaging in a number of joint activities together, including education to increase community awareness, the deployment of technology solutions for identification and security authentication, and assisting Vietnam in bolstering its digital space defense capabilities and reducing the risk of becoming a target of international cybercriminals.

[72][73] In November of that same year, the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) released a report about scams in Asian nations, including Vietnam.

[76] The data provided in the two reports piqued the interest of the Vietnamese media as soon as it was revealed,[77][78][79] and continued to be discussed following ChongLuaDao's celebration of its third anniversary of project planning.
