The crimes continue to threaten public security and cause problems to Malaysian society and the world at large. These activities, if not controlled, may even collapse the security system of the country. To combat this threat, the society has to play its role by giving information on crimes committed and avoid computer abuses. In Malaysia, the Government, through the Royal Malaysian Police, Cyber Security Malaysia, MIMOS and other agencies, have worked together to ensure those criminals are arrested and punished accordingly. The arrest, prosecution and conviction are made under the relevant laws and procedures such as Computer Crimes Act 1997, Communication and Multimedia Act 1998, the Penal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence Act 1950.
