Title

The Viability of the Malaysian Penal Code in Handling Physical Damage Caused by Malware

Author

Rizal Rahman¢Ó, Mohd Sophian Zakaria

Citation

Vol. 21  No. 5  pp. 52-56

Abstract

There is no assurance that malware could only cause virtual damage to computer programs and data as its potential is endless. However, legal provisions were earlier developed to cater to either a physical damage caused by a physical action or a virtual damage caused by a virtual action. When crossovers occur, it becomes quite uncertain as to how viable the current laws are in handling this matter. The author seeks to address the issue from the perspective of the laws of Malaysia.
