Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
In the age of globalization and sophistication of information technology, society is increasingly exposed to current changes and criminal threats such as personal security threats through online applications like Facebook. Therefore, this study discusses the forms of personal security threats through Facebook and its solution in Malaysia. Facebook is one of the most popular communication mediums in Malaysia and has millions of users both domestically and abroad. It is friendly, easy, fast and can share all your daily activities whether in writing, picture or video status. This study aims to highlight the forms of personal security threats that start on Facebook, give public awareness to the Malaysian community while using Facebook and provide recommendations on remedial measures before or after fraud on social media. This study used qualitative methods to obtain data and information from the Royal Malaysian Police, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission as well as the library study. The study found that Facebook helps people to connect, trading and communicate with individuals and communities. However, it also has an impact on personal safety for individuals, communities and organizations through cybercrime threats, fraud, data theft, exploitation and leakage of personal information, love fraud, slander, cyberbullying, encourage teen problems and cheating couples. This study can help the public to be more cautious when using Facebook, not just provide personal information to strangers and give them exposure to the actions they need to take when they become victims of fraud. ? 2021, Penerbit Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
