The Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act (CMCA) will be amended to address the transnational nature of online crime, and efforts made to partner the community, in order to tackle the rising trend of cybercrime, said Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs Desmond Lee on Wednesday (Apr 6).
Speaking in Parliament during the Committee of Supply debate, Mr Lee acknowledged that there is a "clear uptrend" in cybercrime, while traditional crime is on the decline. He pointed out that the total number of online cheating cases involving e-commerce, credit-for-sex, and Internet love scams almost doubled from 2014 to 2015.
