The Hon. Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy
Rajeevan Jeyachandramoorthy asked whether the Computer Crime Act, No. 24 of 2007, and the Payment Devices Frauds Act, No. 30 of 2006, remain adequate for addressing modern digital fraud, including AI-driven schemes, crypto scams, and international phishing networks targeting Sri Lankan bank customers. He sought clarification on whether the Government would review these laws and introduce updated legislation.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: Our laws—the Computer Crime Act, No. 24 of 2007, and the Payment Devices Frauds Act, No. 30 of 2006—are dated relative to today’s complex digital frauds, AI-driven schemes, crypto scams and international phishing networks targeting Sri Lankan bank customers. Are these laws adequate? Will the Government undertake reviews and bring new legislation?
