Letter Published in The National UAE on 15Aug 18 Cyber crime should be stamped out everwhereI write in reference to your article Jail terms of up to 25 years as part of tougher penalties under UAE’s cyber crime laws (August 14): the story outlines how the punishments for cyber crimes in the UAE will increase from 10 to 25 years in jail and fines of up to Dh4 million.This decision was issued recently by UAE President Sheikh Khalifa and in my view it is a good development for the UAE and the wider region. It will reduce cyber crime and therefore make people safer. Today cyber crime is present in almost every country and a proper attempt to crackdown on it in the UAE is welcome.K Ragavan, Bangalore
