KUALA NERUS: Almost RM600mil in losses were recorded throughout 2022 as a result of cyber crime in the country, says Deputy Communications and Digital Minister Teo Nie Ching.
She said the data shows that the problem of cyber crime in this country is serious and the Communications and Digital Ministry will focus on educating the public to become more digitally literate and not become victims.
"The 'three seconds' here is to help the community to think first whether any information received is authentic or not,” she said when met by reporters after presenting a donation for flood victims at Taman Desa Tanjung Damai in Gong Badak, near here, today . She said that the 997 hotline, which is still little known by the community, is a government initiative to help victims of cyber crime to prevent losses.
"The ministry wants to help the victims because we know if we don’t act quick enough, even though the person may eventually be caught, the victims won't be able to get their money back,” she said.
