The key speaker of the event stressed that it is everyone’s responsibility to speak out against cybercrime. The advancement of technology also brought with it many challenges that need to be addressed immediately.
It is to be noted that due to the transitional nature of cybercrimes, it has become very difficult for security, investigation and law enforcement agencies to trace the offenders.
The international cybercriminals target foreign nationals. They mostly target illiterate people who don’t know the technical safety measures and how to implement them.
The cyber security experts urged the students to be extra cautious while surfing online so they could stay safe from cyber criminals.
Experts also told them that if they noted any suspicious activity on their electronic devices, local law enforcement and investigation agencies should be informed so that immediate action could be initiated as soon as possible.
On the other hand students also shared their own experiences and challenges they faced while using the online platform. They also thanked the lecture organizer for a wonderful lecture.
