Vietnams Digital Dreams Held Back by Malware Epidemic - 英语听力
From VOA learning english
This is the technology report
Vietnam's information
Communications
And technology industries
Have grown quickly over the past 10 years
The vietnamese government has high hopes for the future
It wants the country to become a center
For information technology services in the years to come
But to capture it's share of the knowledge economy
Experts say vietnam will have to do more
To deal with cyber security issues
One major problem is malicious computer software
Known as malware
Malware programs are used to damage computer operations
Steal information or gain entry to private computer systems
Michael Mudd is chairman of the information technology
Intellectual property and telecommunications committee
At the american chamber of commerce
He says vietnam is among the top five suppliers
Of malware and spam messages in the world
He says the country is facing a crisis
Mainly because of lack of knowledge about the issue
In the countries that have been involved in it for longer
They are more aware of anti-virus programs
And you know
Everywhere I go in vietnam
I look in places and offices and stuff like this
And hardly any computer
Apart from the very big ones
Are protected by any anti-virus program at all
Wahab Yusoff is an official with Mcafee
The computer software company
He says the issue of malware is a very reactive one
You do not do anything until it hits you
I think the awareness is increasing
But there's a sense of laissez faire
I'm not being affected
I would be hit by it
But the awareness is increasing
But compared to Singapore
It's a much smaller
And concentrate the country and community
I think it's less
Said Yusoff
The use of pirated software is one of the main ways
Malware can infect computers systems
The business software alliance says
About 81 percent of the computers in vietnam
Use pirated copies of software programs
Michael Mudd says infected computers
Could take up to 20 percent of available bandwidth
Causing major economy loses
To deal with the problem
He says
Vietnam does not need more antivirus scientists
With four-year college degrees
He says the country instead needs an army of IT experts
Who can care for computer systems
And remove malware already loaded in the machines
Mr Mudd says education about cyber security should start early
Even at school age
He says this will help people understand the value
Of investing in legitimate software and antivirus programs
