Financial and cyber crime most prevalent economic crime in Malaysia

This is the last news about cybercrime in malaysia :

"KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 (Bernama) -- Financial and cyber crimes were among the most prevalent economic crimes commited in Malaysia, says Honorary Group Chairperson of International Cybercrime and Forensics Examiner (ICFE) Group of Companies, Tommy Seah."

As I mentioned in the previous post ,the number of cybercrime cases increases,it is mainly due to increases of online application especially in business area and social networking and lack of knowledge about computer crimes and corresponding issues among Internet users.In the case of Malaysia ,as country that want to be attractive for foreign investors,it is crucial to raise level of knowledge about cybercrime in both public and private sectors . One way to achieve this goal could be developing knowledge of students by putting at least one subject in school curriculum about Internet security,cyberlaw and related issues. Furthermore ,both public and private sectors must train their employees in order to keep customers information from misusing by intruders in the cyber space . In a short , developing skills and knowledge of Internet users could be an importnt step in order to reduce number of cybercrime cases .

Interesting suggestion! Instead of having cyberlaw as a compulsory subject in school's curriculum, we can have a more general one such as Internet Awareness. Cyberlaw is unfortunately not yet a core subject even in major law schools! Keep it up, and please update with more posts.
