These are the wars of the future. In one day, a state is going to wake up with all its computers corrupted because of viruses, and hacking, as it happened between Israel and Iran. We Moroccans we have no fears, if the state uses Moroccan technicians, like the ones in Darb Ghallaf, in a rational way. But as far as I can tell if we continue on this path there are no wise people in Morocco who put the interest of the nation above all else. It seems now that everyone is corrupt, O ALLAH protect us

Salafists, they ******* me, those fanatics who have nothing to do with Islam, they should try to understand our noble religion’s goals. These ******** defiled Islam, to hell with them, God willing. They are the ones who set the Arab world on fire, North Africa is not Afghanistan.

The pilot experience in the influential role of the Internet in the success of the revolutions of the Arab spring via social networking. If we exclude this active role, we will find a poor and immoral use, done by many over the internet. You can look at Facebook and see the written absurdities, that reflect the level of intellectual decadence and shameful employment of this wonderful gift to humanity in deepening the wounds between the members of one nation. And if so, why give importance to piracy as if we are people who rely on the Internet for communication, commerce and shopping? There is no difference between the thief and the stolen goods! We are all pirates of intellect and future. We still have much to do to put our feet on the road to civilization. Thanks to Zawaya

Cybercrime exists in the Maghreb, although e-government, e-banking services, and e-commerce are still in their primary stages.

The answer is: Yes! Cybercrime is a growing threat in Algeria, since we (in the civil arena) are the SHEEP of the Maghreb, while Morocco and Tunisia are the WOLVES, as “hackers” are mainly from there! It is mainly “southern” people from the Sahara who are active on this front (stealing passwords, bank accounts, etc…)!

Yes, I think so because the virtual or imaginary worlds have become a reality, negatively and greatly impacting the Arab world.
