Transcribed Image Text:CYBERJAYA: Some 3,906 complaints were lodged to the Cyber999 Help Centre during
the movement control order (MCO) period from March 18 to June 30, an increase of
more than 90% compared to the same period last year.
Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin said the
reported cases involved cyberbullying, fraud, cyber intrusions, hacking attempts and
spam, which mostly occurred in urban areas with a high-speed Internet connection.
"We received various complaints with multiple types of modus operandi, including
promotional packages from agents who claimed they represented telco companies," he
told a press conference after receiving the telecommunications users complaints and
cyber crime memorandum from the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM)
on July 2.
The Cyber999 Help Centre is operated by the Malaysia Computer Emergency Response
Team (MYCERT) under CyberSecurity Malaysia, which provides emergency response on
computer security related matters such as cyber harassment, malware, cyber intrusion,
hacking attempts and other information security breaches.
Zahidi said there were offers which promised a variety of free services but in a few
months, the customers' bills spiked to RM5,000.
"Most of the victims were students, and some of them were even blacklisted for not
being able to pay the bill," he said.
Among other cyber fraud incidents were misuse of personal data, online scams, and soft
loan scams, he added.
Zahidi stressed that the government views cyber crime issues, such as online scams and
gambling, as a serious matter.
Discussions between the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission,
CyberSecurity Malaysia and private entities had been held to allow them to carry out
their duties accordingly in the fight against cyber crime, he said. – Bernama
