SHAH ALAM, April 28 -- A total of 249 cases of cyber crime were reported in Selangor since last April 1 until yesterday, an increase of 49 cases, from 193 cases reported during the corresponding period last year.
The spokesman for the Selangor COVID-19 Op, ACP Muhammad Yazid Muhammad Yew said although more cases were reported during the period this year, the amount of losses incurred was less than that of last year.
The losses involved for the period between April 1 to 27 this year was RM6.7 million, while the losses for the corresponding period last year was RM14.4 million, he said.
