all over the country on various levels of management, besides, giving 
information to the government about hackers' attacks.

reporting cell had been created at FIA's Headquarters in Islamabad, 
enabling the people from across the country to report cyber crime 
incidents.

and, in this respect, full cooperation was being extended to the 
provincial governments. Speakers at this awareness seminar

measures, technical details etc.
