Cyber Crime: FCT Cafes Proffer Solution
Operators of
cybercafe’s in Abuja have devised means of checking cyber related crimes in their offices, going by the high wave of online crime.
The operators told The Tide online source that they had found ways of preventing the perpetration of the crime in their cafes.
According to the online source, one of the ways to check cyber crime was to place notice of warning at the entrance, warning against scam mail or visit any unsolicited site.
It would be revealed that any diet caught doing such were handled over to the security operatives who are earlier informed about the development.
A cyber operator, X-tream café, called on the government to deploy security agents on routine basis so as to hip the situation in the bud.
By so doing, according to the source, both the customers and operators would be careful of their activities.
The Tide online source also noted that sites like You Tube are now disallowed in the federal capital in a bid to discourage access to pornographic pictures and videos.
Another means of checking cyber crime as The Tide source revealed, was to have all the systems programmed in a way that all the sites could e- monitored from a particular point.
The source further hinted that gate keeping process was also another sure-way to handle cyber crime, while calling on the government to make some conscious efforts towards ending cyber crime.
