I am a researcher in forensic computing carrying out research aimed to develop a sound theoretical and scientific foundation for the discipline, based on principles broadly gained from software engineering.
This paper analyzes cybercrimes, cyber related crimes and problems encountered in
Malaysia. Mitigation efforts are discussed such as digital forensics research and
procedures including progress. Comparison is made with Japan and to move forward,
a Digital Forensics Institute in Malaysia (DFIM) is proposed.
