Ambassador of Bangladesh, Md. Jashim Uddin
Doha: Ministry of Interior (MoI) and the Embassy of Bangladesh in Doha jointly organised the second episode of the webinar series for the Bangladeshi community living in Qatar via Zoom platform on Sunday.
Bangladesh Ambassador to Qatar H E Md. Jashim Uddin, NDC was present as the chief guest on the occasion.
In his introductory remarks, Ambassador Jashim Uddin said that a number of dimensions have been added to the conventional concept of security.
Currently, the most risky issue in the virtual world of computers, cell phones and networks is data theft. A hacker can break into state borders and commit crimes such as password theft, blackmail, spreading false news, stealing money and so on.
He urged the participants to be aware of cyber security. Awareness means, he added, to understand whether someone is being cheated and taking precautions accordingly.
First Lieutenant Ahmed Al Thani, an official of Qatar’s Economic and Cyber Crimes Prevention Department, made a presentation titled “Financial and Cyber Crimes and Measures of Prevention”.
He discussed the types of cybercrime, punishments and the ways to prevent it. About 400 expatriate Bangladeshis, officials from the Bangladesh Embassy and the Interior Ministry, and leaders of the Bangladesh community, took part in the event.
