KUWAIT CITY, June 1: Six expatriates have been referred to the Deportation Center after being caught inside a restaurant in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh that had been officially closed by the Kuwait Fire Force. Officers from the Residency Affairs Investigations Department arrested individuals following a report that the restaurant had been illegally reopened.

According to the source, the individuals claimed they entered through a rear door, which did not display a violation closure sticker, to retrieve food and prevent spoilage. However, authorities emphasized that entering any premises under administrative closure, regardless of the access point, is a legal violation.

A spokesperson from the Fire Force confirmed that any attempt to bypass a sealed restaurant for violating rules, including entering through alternate doors, is strictly prohibited. Expatriates found guilty of such violations face immediate deportation, while Kuwaiti citizens involved are referred to the judiciary for prosecution.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12: In an era where digital threats are constantly evolving, protecting yourself from cybercrime has become a crucial part of everyday life. From identity theft to online scams, cybercriminals are finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities. The Ministry of Interior (MOI) of Kuwait urges everyone to adopt simple yet effective security measures to safeguard personal information and stay one step ahead of these dangers.

Be Cautious with Links and Attachments: Never open emails, messages, or attachments from unknown or suspicious sources, as they may contain malware or phishing attempts.
Keep Your Software Updated: Regularly update your operating system, antivirus, and applications to protect against the latest security threats.
Protect Your Personal Information: Avoid sharing sensitive details online, including on social media, to minimize the risk of identity theft and fraud.

By following these simple but effective steps, you can greatly reduce your risk of falling victim to cybercrime.
