The Public Authority for Communications and Information Technology (PACTI) announced that it handled 621 reports of fraud and scams during the third quarter of this year. These reports were distributed as follows: 276 via websites, 163 via social media platforms, 104 via phone calls, 76 via the WhatsApp application, and two via text messages.
The Authority emphasized the importance of reporting any suspicious messages, links, or calls, and warned against sharing personal data with untrusted entities.
Meanwhile, the Authority clarified that a team from the Field Supervision Department conducted a technical visit to the Rohde & Schwarz factory in Germany from October 19 to 21, alongside representatives from Al Mustaqbal Integrated Technology Company for Communications Equipment. This visit was part of the activities related to the automated system for measuring and analyzing radio frequency spectrum.
The visit included inspecting portable radio monitoring stations, reviewing their technical specifications, and verifying their compliance with approved standards and requirements prior to their shipment to Kuwait, paving the way for completing subsequent project phases.
The project aims to develop a radio frequency spectrum monitoring and analysis system, thereby enhancing the efficiency of frequency usage regulation in the country.
