I don't recall seeing any follow-up by the local press or any report
of what happened to the investigations. I don't know what has been
done to counter such problems or whether there has been some kind of
awareness. There is a "cyber-strategy" which was published by the government.

I guess that students are supposed to be informed through the
National Computer Board "cyber caravan".

As a group which is interested in the internet we could have reached
out to schools to create awareness about those issues. It is very
difficult to do that though as:

   (a) We don't have enough people who will volunteer to do that work.

   (b) We don't ask money from companies as non-governmental organisations
       do as we won't be able to be neutral then.
