A report published in the January issue of ‘999’ magazine – the official
English monthly of the UAE Ministry of Interior – reveals that cyber attacks
have mostly targeted the banking sector, including both the ATM and Internet
banking applications, in the UAE.
The banking sector topped the list of the most eyed target (35 per cent) while the remaining 65 per cent of attacks were launched against the government’s e-services, telecommunication systems, and educational institutions, according to Lieutenant Colonel Yasser Mohamed Al Wahabi, E-Infrastructure Director, General Directorate of E-Services and Telecom, UAE Ministry of Interior.

They also have computer forensics teams that specialise in obtaining, recovering, examining and presenting electronic evidence stored on computers or other electronic devices.
