The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented laws to combat online threats such as cyberbullying, fraud, and privacy violations [8945fb26]. The Federal Decree Law No 34 on combatting rumors and cybercrimes lists various offenses and penalties, including hacking, disseminating false information, invading privacy, tampering with data, and more [8945fb26]. The UAE is taking steps to protect individuals and entities from online threats and has provided reporting mechanisms for cybercrimes [8945fb26].
The UAE has established several platforms and apps for reporting cybercrimes. Cybercrimes can be reported to the nearest police station or through online platforms such as the eCrimes platform, e-crime Dubai Police app, Aman service by Abu Dhabi Police, My Safe Society app by the federal Public Prosecution, and the UAE Digital Wellbeing Support Line [8945fb26]. These reporting mechanisms aim to provide individuals with accessible and convenient ways to report cybercrimes and seek assistance [8945fb26].
In addition to reporting mechanisms, the UAE has also developed tools to enhance online security. The RZAM app, developed by the Dubai Electronic Security Centre, can detect and block malicious websites, further protecting individuals and entities from online threats [8945fb26].
The implementation of laws and the provision of reporting mechanisms and security tools demonstrate the UAE's commitment to addressing online threats and protecting the well-being of its residents and entities [8945fb26].
