LAHORE, Oct 15(ABC): The Punjab government has decided to adopt Web3.0 – a technology that can decentralise web and control data leakage, selling and hacking.
Chief Minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi constituted a 22-member committee, led by finance as well as information and technology ministers, and tasked it with doing a detailed analysis, study, and research and giving policy interventions, future road map and actions to be taken for adoption of Web 3.0 in Punjab. The committee was directed to submit its report in four weeks.
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan only a day earlier stated that the ruling coalition was allegedly making “deep fake” videos to malign him and his party.
Information technology experts believe that sometimes sensitive data becomes vulnerable just because of lack of awareness and common sense and the hackers attack through the weakest link. They believe that the audio and video leaks recorded by some on their own devices will always remain a threat for those not ensuring secrecy.
