Cybercrime in the country has risen by nearly 12% over the past year, according to a recent survey conducted by the organization Cyber Crime Awareness. Over the last five years, approximately 200,000 victims have reported incidents on various platforms. The survey reveals that 80% of the victims are between 18 and 30 years old, and 60% are women. It also highlights the misuse of social media for political and religious agendas, contributing to cybercrime. Alarmingly, only 12% of victims have formally filed complaints. Experts point to emerging technologies like AI and deepfakes as key drivers behind the increase in cybercrime. They stress that cyber security is an integral part of national security. To raise public awareness, Cyber Crime Awareness announced a month-long campaign aimed at promoting safe online practices.
