Victims of abuse can take action

ANYONE who finds their intellectual property – such as personal video and other content – is being shared without permission, can take action, particularly if it affects their privacy or confidentiality, says CyberSecurity Malaysia chief executive officer (CEO) Lt Col Husin Jazri (Retired).

One way is to flag the violation to the service provider, he says, pointing out that file or video sharing sites such as YouTube have a policy against sharing intellectual property of others or content without the permission of the owner.
