The country has also seen cybercrimes relating to e-commerce, investment, insurance or the trade of gold and cryptocurrency.

Lam said that to further ensure national sovereignty in cyberspace, the police force should continue synchronously deploying solutions to ensure security of national information systems.
The police must work harder to detect, fight and prevent cyber attacks, cyber espionage, conspiracies, and online sabotage activities of hostile and reactionary forces, he stressed./.
