Namibia is taking a major step toward strengthening its fight against cybercrime by aligning its domestic laws with new global standards to combat digital fraud, online exploitation, and cyber threats.

The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) has stepped up efforts in preparation for World Radio Day and also International Safer Internet Day.

World Radio Day is celebrated annually on 13 February, while the International Safer Internet Day is marked on 11 February.

The Head of the Computer Science Department at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), Edward Nepolo, says that the recent cyberattacks on Telecom Namibia serve as a wake-up call for Namibia.
