The Cybercrime Department of the Ministry of Interior has urged smartphones and digital applications users to activate available security features to protect their online accounts and personal information from hacking and electronic fraud.

In an awareness message issued in both Arabic and English, the department has highlighted the importance of using built-in cybersecurity tools, particularly two-factor authentication (2FA), fingerprint login and features designed to detect identity theft and impersonation.

The department said activating these security measures will strengthen digital protection and reduce the risk of unauthorized access to personal accounts and sensitive information.

The advisory forms part of ongoing awareness campaigns by the General Department of Cybercrime to promote safe digital practices and educate the public about ways to prevent cybercrime.
