EPVN was established in 2007 by parents who wanted to assist orphaned children in Vietnam and enhance the relationship between Vietnam and France. Its main goal is to improve the living conditions of children in orphanages and disadvantaged families in Vietnam through humanitarian aid, such as providing supplementary food or milk for infants, conducting vaccination campaigns, organizing medical activities, supplying hygiene products, and raising awareness in these areas. Speaking at the gala, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang expressed his appreciation for the work EPVN has done for Vietnamese children. He emphasized that the Vietnamese culture week in Versailles is an important and meaningful event, particularly as the countries celebrate the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of their strategic partnership. Mayor of Versailles François de Mazières highlighted that the culture week has showcased the spirit of solidarity and creati

Every November, the Thao Nguyen Flower Garden on the banks of the Red River in Hanoi has become a must-visit destination for ox-eye daisy lovers. This year, the flowering season came early, with the flowers in full bloom since late October. The 2,000-square-meter flower garden features more than 10,000 daisies planted in midsummer and in full bloom in late fall and early winter. According to the owner of the flower garden, the daisies here are sown in a cold nursery. The young plants are then nurtured for four to five months to mature and produce the most brilliant flowers. The most favorable time to photograph the daisy in the gardens is early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the sunlight is not too intense and allows for more harmonious and fairly bright photos. The garden is in full bloom in late fall and early winter. Photos: Huy Pham/The Hanoi Times The plants produce the most brilliant flowers in this season. The tiny pure w

Halloween is one of the biggest festivals in Western countries, with the full name All Hallows’ Eve. I t is celebrated annually on October 31, before the Christian feast of All Saints, which marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of the cold winter. This festival originated with the Celts who lived more than 2000 years ago in the territories that are now part of Great Britain, Ireland, and northern France. The Celts believed that on Halloween night, the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead become thin, and the spirits could return to the Earth, which is also the origin of popular practices such as lighting fire and dressing up in spooky costumes during this day.

This article from OctaFX security experts explores the nature of account takeover attacks and advises on how to protect yourself from them. Recent research by Digital Shadows showed that more than 24 billion exposed credential pairings are available for sale online. That is a 65 percent increase from 2020, probably due to more sophisticated malware and social engineering, as well as improved credential sharing. With passwords such as ‘123456’ still accounting for more than one hundred million exposed cases, account takeovers are bound to continue. However, there are ways to avoid them, which we will cover later in the article. First, let’s consider whether account takeover (ATO) is something that everyone really has to worry about. Account takeover: how it happens The ATO attacks are somewhat similar to burglary. Fraudsters or hackers either crack your password using special software- just as burglars do to open the doors of a building – or get it from you through social engi
