Papua New Guinea’s recently opened National Cyber Security Centre will be the top secret for the country. Public will not allowed and its location will not be disclosed to the public due to its sensitive nature.
PNG Police said staff has undergone training with the technical aspect of the Cyber Crime Act discussed at length at the Police Commissioner’s Conference at 17 Mile.
Acting ACP Crimes Hodges Ette said that playing around with mobile phones, radios and other equipment is numbered.
“The work into cybercrime was started back in 2011 and in Sept 2016, Parliament passed the Cybercrime code Act.
“While NICTA is the regulator, RPNGC deals with offences that occur under the Act and can charge those that commit a crime under the Act,” he said.
Mr Ette highlighted three sections of the Act – section 36, 39 and 41.“Section 36 looks at preservation of evidence, section 39 is the authorized interception and section 41 is the forensics tool,” he said.“Section 36, the preservation of evidence, no court is needed to act in first instance for only 14 days, after 14 days you need a court order.
“For section 39, the authorized interception, you need a court order and allows for monitoring and recording transmission and intelligence gathering. Section 41 forensics tools authorize the use of spyware again with a court order.
”Mr Ette told senior officers attending the conference that the categories of types of offences include hacking, data interference and data espionage. – Via Garamut News.
