This reactionary approach is quite ridiculous. I bet you the prosecutors will have a hard time even proving the crime. Some wouldn't even know what malware is. Now start explaining Salami to them.

Well it's commendable CA seems to be doing something in this space http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Communication-Authority-open-centre-to-combat-cyber-crime/1056-3405682-5hjk2pz/index.html

However, why open a centre for the sole purpose of reporting and investigating claims? Proactivity would be a better approach. The irony is how the CIA has taken this 'precautionary approach' to the next level as seen with the wikileaks dump.
