CYBERJAYA, Jan 25 (Bernama) — With the implementation of the current Movement Control Order (MCO), the Communications and Multimedia Consumer Forum of Malaysia (CFM) would like to remind consumers to be extra vigilant in protecting their online security and safety.
“With the implementation of the MCO, it has become a norm for us to socialise and stay in touch with friends and family virtually to seek a bit of respite from being stuck at home. However, we are also aware of the reports and statistics from PDRM highlighting the rise in number of people falling victim to cybercrime such as scams, hacking, and identity theft almost every day in the news. In mitigating this issue from becoming more widespread, CFM would like to encourage all online consumers to be proactive in protecting our online security for our own safety.” said CFM Chairman Datin Mohana Mohariff.
