To help curb fraudulent scams, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has launched a crime prevention campaign since the middle of this month to focus on phone scams.

THIS Wednesday is Social Media day. As billions of people use the networks globally in some form or another on a daily basis, they are bound to be the main targets of cyber criminals.

More than half of the world’s population or 4.2 billion people are on social media, of which 28 million are from Malaysia. There are 6.6 billion online users globally.
