Total Access Communication (DTAC), the country's third largest mobile operator by subscriber base, has launched a metaverse youth camp aimed at equipping high schoolers with cybersecurity and digital knowledge as cyberthreats surge.
The company is working with its parent firm Telenor Group; Cisco, a global tech giant; and the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) to present Young Safe Internet Leaders Cyber (YSLC) camp season 4 -- an online youth camp project aimed at levelling up digital skills to ensure a safe internet and fend off cyberthreats.
Cybercrime is a growing global threat and could potentially cause around US$10.5 trillion in damage by 2025, according to the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
