Four Egyptians will be imprisoned for seven years by the Criminal Court, which is presided over by Counselor Ahmed Al-Sadi, in a significant legal step. This decision carries a 4,200 dinar fine and a deportation order in addition to prison servitude. Serious claims are at the center of the case in question, which is known as the “Consumer Protection Hacker” case.

The offenders were accused of breaking into the consumer protection database and using their access to steal money from both foreign nationals and citizens, both male and female. According to reports, their strategy comprised using WhatsApp to send misleading messages while posing as agents of the “consumer protection” organization.

The severity of cybercrimes and the willful exploitation of private datasets for fraudulent purposes are highlighted by this Criminal Court ruling. The court cases highlighted how strict regulations are becoming more and more necessary to stop these destructive activities and safeguard the public’s financial interests and rights. The court’s ruling highlights the need to preserve consumer protection laws in the digital era while acting as a deterrent to cybercrimes and putting the defendants in jail.
