    "content": "Last year again, we saw attacks on the banking system through cyber-related concerted campaigns where nearly almost 10 banks closed in a row. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government said, without any enabling law, that anyone who would post anything against any bank would be arrested and charged. That threat reversed what was already happening. There were panic withdrawals and two banks already closed. We witnessed attacks on many serious institutions like the National Bank which were all driven through the social media. Authorities had no control over it. Even if you went for a blogger, he went to court, was charged and given a fine or bond and told that they would prosecute the case later. The technical expertise that is required needs us to have an agency which would have close collaboration with our institutions such as universities. We should have things like bounties to encourage the young people in this country who are IT versed. We must all accept that we are experts at a point in time, but when that time passes, you have to give way to other people."
