had a negative impact on society. In Malaysia, the forms of cyber crime we face
are hacking, money laundering, phishing and cyber fraud. Cybercrime can be
defined as any form of criminal behavior that uses any type of electronic
device through an internet connection and involves individual or group
behavior. Therefore, this article will discuss how the Malaysian government
reacts in dealing with the current issue of cybercrime as well as existing cyber
laws in Malaysia. This is because cybercrimes usually occur during online money
transactions, food orders through applications such as Foodpanda, e-hailing
orders, online money transfers, and company registration and others. Even so,
with the speed of internet use that is seen to have a positive impact on
society, there is no denying that there are also negative effects that need to
be addressed.</span>
