As technology advances, modern computer-assisted and Internet
crimes are on the rise, necessitating a closer examination of
cybercrime and computer forensics in the region. Saudi Arabia,
being one of the Middle East's fastest-growing nations in terms of
Internet and mobile phone usage, faces significant challenges in
this arena. This exploration particularly focuses on the impact of
Internet use and cybercrime on adolescents, highlighting the urgent
need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
In August 2021, a significant cyber attack targeted a major entity
in Saudi Arabia, demanding a $50 million ransom in cryptocurrency
for the return of approximately 1 terabyte of sensitive data. The
breach exploited vulnerabilities in a third-party contractor,
prompting immediate isolation of affected systems and collaboration
with cybersecurity authorities for investigation and mitigation.
This incident underscored the vulnerability of critical
infrastructure and emphasized the necessity for robust
cybersecurity protocols.
The attack spurred a comprehensive review of cybersecurity
measures, leading to upgrades in firewalls, encryption techniques,
and third-party vendor protocols. Additionally, it catalyzed
increased investment in cybersecurity infrastructure and advanced
technologies like generative AI and quantum computing to fortify
defenses against future threats. With the rapid adoption of digital
technologies, Saudi Arabia must integrate AI-driven defenses while
remaining vigilant against AI-enhanced threats.
