MALACCA: A total of 389 cyber-bullying reports were lodged by Internet users to the Cyber999 Help Centre in 2013, a 55.6% increase from 250 in 2012.
Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Abu Bakar Mohamad Diah said one of the key factors of the increase in cyber-bullying was the preponderance of Internet users sharing personal information, including passwords, on social networking sites.
