"Hello everyone, my name is Quynh. I am a senior at the Academy of Cryptography Techniques, Hanoi, and a security researcher, a job focusing on vulnerabilities in the Java platform." That was how Quynh introduced herself at a security webinar last October. Over the past five years, the 23-year-old had to repeat this introduction during many lectures since few thought a girl in her early twenties could detect as many as four vulnerabilities with high severity in less than a year, transforming her into a favorite speaker at various information security events. The four Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), the general term for security vulnerabilities, Quynh has found are CVE-2020-14625, CVE-2020-14825, CVE-2020-2883, and CVE-2020-2798. Of these, three vulnerabilities rated 9.8 out of 10 by experts on Oracle WebLogic Server in terms of severity. The other rated 7.2. Oracle's WebLogic Server application is used by tens of thousands of companies around the world, bringing billions of dollars in revenue to the U.S. technology giant. If not detected early, the vulnerabilities above could be exploited by hackers and might cause unpredictable consequences. With Oracle publishing a list of vulnerabilities and patches for its products every quarter, the name of the senior college student popped up thrice last year. Getting hooked by chance To be able to detect her very first CVE in two weeks, it took Quynh four years of schooling and two months of research. But she admitted she did not enter this industry because of her passion or with a specific goal, but simply found it "cool." "I decided to study IT since I have always had a curious mind and the program has a study abroad option," she recalled. Surprisingly, the first-year college student who loves literature and knows how to play the piano had completed her study program with good results and earned a study slot abroad. But when she achieved her initial goal, Quynh realized she really loved …

College documentary relives Vietnam Air Force’s first air battle
A private university in Da Nang recently premiered a historical documentary on an iconic 1965 air battle between the Vietnamese and U.S. forces in north-central Vietnam. “Vietnam Air War: The First Swallows” is a 50-minute two-part documentary featuring the Battle of Ham Rong in Thanh Hoa Province on April 4, 1965. It was the Vietnam People’s Air Force’s first air battle in defense against airstrikes from U.S. Naval Air Forces. Dr. Le Nguyen Bao, president of Duy Tan University and director of the documentary, said he led a team of over 20 people to found Silver Swallows Studio and worked for five years on this first major project. 3D modeling technology was used to recreate the historic battle where outnumbered Vietnamese forces were able to defend the Ham Rong Bridge in Thanh Hoa, which was vital to wartime transportation, against U.S. strikes. At the time of the battle, Vietnamese pilots had less than 200 flying hours and were operating four obsolete MiG-17 fighter aircraft sponsored by the Soviet Union against a fleet of modern U.S. aircrafts.

Video: Silver Swallows Studio “There was pressure to stay truthful and objective to historical accounts of the event while avoiding turning it into a propaganda film,” Bao said. “It would be a crime against history to make a factually inaccurate documentary,” he added. The documentary was screened in Hanoi for the first time on Wednesday after making its premiere in Da Nang on April 26. “Watching the documentary is as intense as being in the real fight,” said Lieutenant General Tran Hanh, who was part of the Sao Do (Red Stars) Regiment that participated in the Battle of Ham Rong. “We are deeply moved,” Hanh said.
