It looks more like the Vietnamese NIC was compromised...

Yeah. I just checked:
google.com.vn NS was changed at vnnic.vn whois too -> http://i.imgur.com/6vvZqXS.png
Either VNNIC was hacked or someone got Google credentials... I hope it is the later.
Sorry, but why would you hope it was the latter?
Maybe a single customer getting owned is better than all the customers getting owned?

An NIC exploit may be widely repeatable.
Well :| certainly not the first time. http://thehackerspost.com/2013/10/google-malaysia-gets-hacke...
While I'm not 100% sure, it's likely that VNNIC has been 0wned.
Rationale: VNNIC doesn't provide any online DNS management tools. One has to submit a paper request in person to change any DNS records.
Edit: it looks like it's the registrar WebNic.cc that got hacked.
Man! VNNIC now has EPP Gateway http://www.vnnic.vn/en/domain/eppgateway?lang=en
Papers have nothing to do with their infrastructure IMHO..
