Abstract
Recent years have seen an increase in cyberattacks worldwide, including in Malaysia. The Malaysia Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCERT) stated that more than 8,000 incidents were reported in 2020 related to cybercrime. What's more terrifying is that cybercrime cases escalated by 82.5 per cent since the start of the Movement Control Order with an estimated loss of RM200 million. Cybercrime is defined as any illegal activity that involves a computer or any digital device, and computer network. Among the prominent crimes are distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, malware, identity thefts, spoofing and phishing scams.
