The next big thing in crime

 COMPUTER hacking will almost certainly be the next crime wave that Papua New Guinea will face. The Bank of Papua New Guinea has been hacked four times. I call on the government and the public to see hacking as a major threat as we are now dealing with information communication technology services. We buy phone credits and ezpay units using mobile phones and computers, we buy food and goods the same way. We transfer and withdraw money using mobile phones and computers. The government must look for ways to set up sophisticated firewalls.
