Cybercrime Workshop: Mauritian ICT Minister Announces a Strengthening of Laws

A workshop of four days on cyber-crime has been launch in Mauritius today, 11th August. During this event, the Mauritian ICT Minister stated that Mauritius is not sufficiently equipped to fight cybercrimals and as such, the ICT Ministry is working on the development of a Cyber Security Strategic Plan. The Minister stated that there is an urgent need to strengthen the existing legislation to deal with this problem. The plan, which will be ready by the end of the year, will help the authorities to better understand issues relating to cyber crime. The government will take expert advice from the Council of the European Union.
