THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) board has approved eight measures to prevent and suppress crimes related to technology.

The eight measures form guidelines for telecom operators and related parties to adopt to comply with the amended emergency decree on the prevention and suppression of cybercrime, which went into effect on April 13.

First, telecom operators must check and screen users who display unusual behaviour, immediately suspending their usage. Unusual behaviour may include making a lot of calls, the locations of calls and the devices used for calls (such as using a SIM card box).
