Screenshot messages, report promptly: MoI advises immediate action against cyberthreats

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has urged the public to promptly report any cyberthreat or incident, outlining the immediate steps individuals should take if they or a family member become victims of financial fraud, blackmail or account hacking.

The Ministry advised victims or anyone targeted by such cyberthreats to take screenshots of all conversations and messages exchanged with the perpetrator.

It also urged victims to avoid further engagement with blackmailers and report incidents immediately through the official channels, including the Economic and Cyber Crimes Department via the hotline 66815757, call 2347333, or email at cccc@moi.gov.qa.

Reports can also be filed through the Metrash app by following these steps: open the app, select "Security Complaint", then "Cyber Crime", fill in the required details and submit the report.
