  • He highlights the challenges of combating cybercrime, including jurisdictional issues and the need for international police collaboration.
  • Dr Chang emphasizes the importance of public awareness and education to prevent scams, as well as better victim support systems.
  • The interview also touches on the role of financial institutions in preventing scams and the potential future threats posed by technologies like AI and ChatGPT in cybercrime.
