Abstract

As the number of devices connected to the Internet increase and the amount of data available online grow, the cyber-attacks will keep increasing in number and their severity. For Malaysia specifically, as of the second quarter of 2022, a total of 44.2 million accounts have been breached putting the security, privacy, and confidentiality of the account owners’ data in danger. Cyber hacking can become a strong power which can be harmful if the necessary skills are learned without ethical standards. On the other hand, learning the skills for ethical hacking became a necessity to protect digital systems, discover vulnerabilities and mitigate them. An Islamic approach to cyber security issues is presented in this paper. As Islam is a revealed religion from Allah SWT to be guidance to the Muslims in all matters, we can derive many ethical standards in any field following the holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him).
