Cyber-attacks have mostly targeted the banking sector, including the ATM and Internet banking applications, in the UAE, a report published in the January issue of 999 Magazine, the official English monthly of the Ministry of Interior, revealed.
The banking sector topped the list with 35 per cent share of attacks, while the remaining 65 per cent were launched against the government’s e-services, telecommunication systems, and educational institutions’ systems, according to Lieutenant Colonel Yasser Mohammad Al Wahabi, E-Infrastructure Director, General Directorate of E-Services and Telecom, UAE Ministry of Interior.
To address this problem, most of police general headquarters in the UAE have established cybercrime and organisational security units. They also have computer forensics teams that specialise in obtaining, recovering, examining, analysing, and presenting electronic evidence stored on computers or other electronic devices.
