‘Lakhs of cyber attacks happen every day in Pakistan’
Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Minister of State for Information Technology and Telecommunications, told Geo News on Sunday that the status of the ‘firewall’ has been “blown out of proportion and a web management system has been in place in the country for 10 years.” “There is no dispute about a country working on its cyber security,” he said, adding that the entire world uses different cyber security mechanisms. Fatima said that since Pakistan faces “millions of cyber attacks” every day, it is becoming difficult to detect terrorist activities in the country. (Language)
