Chittagong University Criminology Society (CUCS) organized a skill development and awareness session titled “Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking with IT Career Guidelines” on Monday, January 26, 2026. The session was presented by GM IT Academy.
The program featured comprehensive discussions on cyber security, cyber crimes, and strategies for staying safe on digital platforms. Participants received practical guidance on how to protect personal information and maintain privacy online effectively. The session also highlighted fundamental techniques of responsible and positive ethical hacking.
Speaking at the event, CUCS President Farhan Nasim said: “In the current age of artificial intelligence, protecting personal privacy is becoming increasingly difficult day by day, and the number of cyber crimes is rapidly rising.
