On Wednesday, May 17, 2017, the lecture “Education about Cyber Law” held at IUS, there was a mention of the virus “WannaCry” which has been active lately, and was pointed out that it is needed to regularly update antivirus programs, and take certain precautions, Anatolia Agency reported.
The organizers of the education which started on May 15 are International University of Sarajevo (IUS), Turkish cooperation and coordination Agency (TIKA), Justice Academy of the Republic of Turkey, and Center for Education of Judges and Prosecutors in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Mehmet Bedii Kaya from Yildirim Beyazit University, Ankara, said before the beginning of the program that the hot topics will be discussed in the field that combines law and technology.
“When you observe it, there is an increase in violations and legal problems with the development of technology. I will speak about the theoretical aspects, but at the same time, panel will be attended by a prosecutor from the Republic of Turkey. We will try to talk about cybercrime from theoretical perspective and application, about its fundamental problems”, said Mr. Kaya.
He added that the program of education for judges and prosecutors started a few days before, and that today’s program was more oriented towards students.
Arben Murtezić, director of Center for Education of Judges and Prosecutors in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that TIKA and Justice Academy of the Republic of Turkey are partners in the various activities in the Center.
“Education about cyber crime is one of the most important projects, which has just started. Cyber crime is generally known to be among greatest dangers in the contemporary world, and it does not spare Bosnia and Herzegovina, too. Turkey has made great progress in this issue, both in terms of technology and education”, said Murtezić.
He added that for these field immense investments are needed which cannot be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as technological and other resources, and said that between 10 and 15 judges and prosecutors from bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the project.
According to him and other theoreticians, “fighting cybercrime is either global or is pointless.”
“In this field, it is necessary to hear about what has been done in other countries. Educators brought by our Turkish colleagues are very competent, technically and legally, and we wish that they continue to work with us.”
It has been also mentioned that lately there has been more investing into social networks and fighting against cybercrime.
