Michele Howe of arabianbusiness.com reported that Cyber criminals tapping into Middle East

Cyber criminals are stepping up their focus on the Middle East, authorities are warning following the busting of an online fraud ring that targeted Dubai. Last week’s announcement by authorities that an online fraud gang had been pretending to offer financial services out of the Dubai International Financial Centre has highlighted the dangers firms here in the region are facing. David Knott, CEO of the Dubai Financial Services Authority, warned last week that such attacks will “increasingly” occur in the Middle East.

“The Middle East is becoming a new target for those cyber crimes because [people] are engaging more in technologies and connecting to networks around the world. The more connections, the more vulnerabilities you will have,” Dr Abdulrahman Al-Shenafi, senior adviser on IT and security to the Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia told IT Weekly.

Companies in the banking, hospitality and travel sectors, which are growing their online presence, are particularly at risk, but “any large corporation or business online that has a significant income from these websites,” would be a target for cyber crime, according to Rashed Al-Abbar, product manager esecurity at Etisalat.

If this could happen in the Middle East, It could also happen anywhere. So everybody should be aware of this news, even you are in Middle East or in .

DIC Telecom to follow Etisalat’s VoIP blocking lead
by Matthew Wade

After January 30, users based in Dubai Free Zone and Emaar properties will not be able to call phone lines from their PCs via services such as Skype.

The telco provider that supplies internet services to users based in Dubai’s Free Zone and Emaar residential buildings, DIC Telecom, will block voice over internet protocol (VoIP) phone calls from the end of this month.
The move, briefly outlined in an SMS message to customers yesterday, is being made in order to comply with the UAE regulator’s instructions.
The full text of the SMS sent reads: “As per TRA instructions, starting Jan 07 we will prevent the ability to make PC to phone internet VoIP calls. For queries, call Customer Care on 04 390 5555.”
