Doha: The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has
urged the public to promptly report any cyberthreat or incident, outlining the
immediate steps individuals should take if they or a family member become
victims of financial fraud, blackmail or account hacking.
The ministry advised victims or anyone targeted
by such cyberthreats to take screenshots of all conversations and messages
exchanged with the perpetrator. It also urged victims to avoid further
engagement with blackmailers and report incidents immediately through the
official channels, including the Economic and Cyber Crimes Department via the
hotline 66815757, call 2347333, or email at cccc@moi.gov.qa.
Reports can also be filed through the Metrash app by opening the app, selecting "Security Complaint", then "Cyber Crime", filling in the required details and submitting the report. The ministry stressed that prompt reporting helps authorities act quickly against cybercriminals and protect potential victims.
