HARARE - Information Technology, Postal and Courier services ministry, in 
partnership with Econet, TelOne, Telecel, Greepys and ZITC have launched a 
cyber-security booklet [1] and website to foster awareness and protection 
from cyber-crime which has started to cripple many Zimbabweans, 
particularly on social media.

Zimbabwean Internet users have also been experiencing cyber-crime such as 
hacking and cloning of websites and accounts, in particular social media 
accounts such as Facebook and Twitter.

On the other hand, organisations have also evinced cyber-attacks citing 
the upsurge of hacking and cloning of websites, fraudulent messages and 
email and cyber-theft of documents.

Speaking at the launch of the Cyber Security Booklet, Technology services 
minister Kazembe Kazembe said: "Since 2013, 3,809,448 records have been 
stolen in breaches every day, 158,727 every hour, 2,645 every minute and 
44 every second."
