KUALA LUMPUR: Data and information sharing on cybercrime trends among countries and law enforcement agencies are vital to minimise cyber threats, said Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chief regulatory officer Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin.

He said this was due to the spike of cybercrime cases as the data sharing allows authorities to comprehend the modus operandi in order to prevent malicious activities.
