The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Communications, in cooperation with the General Police Department, the Communications Regulatory Commission, the Mongolian Bankers Association, and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has launched a month-long campaign titled “Let’s Prevent Online Fraud.”

The campaign aims to raise public awareness about various forms and methods of online fraud, provide guidance and advice to citizens, improve public knowledge of digital security, and encourage safer online practices such as protecting personal information and not sharing banking credentials or passwords with others. Organizers said the initiative is intended to help citizens better understand cyber fraud crimes and strengthen preventive measures.

Myagmarnaran B., State Secretary of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Communications, said the ministry has been implementing cybersecurity projects and programs with international organizations and partner countries, while also focusing on experience sharing and capacity building for human resources.

As an example, he noted that the ministry is jointly implementing the “Cybersecurity Human Resource Capacity Building Program 2024–2026” with JICA to improve public knowledge of digital usage and online safety and to help prevent cyber fraud.

According to him, studies show that 83% of the population — or four out of every five people — use digital platforms. Therefore, the campaign will also focus on developing citizens’ digital skills and conducting public awareness activities to help people protect themselves and their families from online scams and false information circulating on social media.

Nationwide, the number of online fraud-related crimes increased from 11,711 cases in 2024 to 12,233 cases in 2025, marking an increase of 522 cases or 4.5%.
