BTRC anti-cyber crime body receiving complaints
Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS)
DHAKA, April 22 (BSS) - Bangladesh Computer Security Incident Response Team (BD-CSIRT) formed by the telecom regulatory body today started receiving complaints and suggestions to thwart cyber crime in the country.
"We've started receiving complaints and suggestions through email: contact@csirt.gov.bd to prevent cyber crime in the country," Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) vice chairman and head of the BD-CSIRT Giasuddin Ahmed told BSS.
He said the team would investigate immediately after receiving any complaint and take punitive action measuring the importance of the incident.
"The webpage would be closed immediately for sever offence while the offender for general crime would be warned," Giasuddin said.
The BD-CSIRT chief said punitive measure would be taken against all the criminals as per the existing law.
The BD-CSIRT will develop a webpage on cyber crime within a short time that will help the people to be cautious about cyber crime.
The 11-member body of BD-CSIRT has started activities to detect cyber crime since January 25 this year and the BTRC trained up three cyber crime experts from abroad. The body is headed by BTRC Vice-Chairman Giasuddin Ahmed while the director of systems and services was made member-secretary.
Other members are -- BTRC deputy director of legal and licensing and representatives from International Internet Gateway, mobile phone operators, Internet service providers, PSTN operators and cyber cafe associations.
The BD-CSIRT is mainly assigned to identify the sites, persons or institutions engaged in harmful activities against the state, society and political and religious beliefs using mobile phones, websites and different social networking sites.
Earlier, the BTRC Director General (Legal and Licence) AKM Shahiduzzaman told BSS that a person convicted of cyber crimes may face two to five years of imprisonment and fines ranging from Taka 5 lakh to Taka 5 crore.
"The punishment would be handed down under Sections 69 and 74 of Telecommunication Act," he added.
