Kuala Lumpur, 31th May 2024 - Malaysia is not spared from the risks of social discord due to widespread misuse and a lack of self-regulation, exposing children to online child sexual exploitation and abuse (Ocsea) threats, including live streaming of child abuse, cybersex trafficking, child grooming and sextortion.
"Ocsea is forecast to be prevalent with the expansion of technology around the world, which has generated a paradigm shift in both the online exposure of potential victims and the ability of offenders to share Ocsea materialsecurely andcommunicate anonymously with children and other perpetrators online," he said in an interview recently.
To combat the issue, CyberSecurity Malaysia has initiated the Cyber Security Awareness for Everyone (CyberSAFE) programme to educate and raise awareness about technological and social issues facing internet users, particularly the dangers of being online.
"With CyberSAFE, individuals can disseminate information, understand the importance of cyber security, deliver messages about current cyber security issues, and educate the public - particularly targeted groups on best practices for ethical and secure computer and internet use," he said.
