This as the police's Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau said around 5 percent of the more than 90,000 networks involving Hong Kong's essential infrastructure experienced security loopholes, particularly among the banking, financial and communications sectors.
Authorities also predicted the rise of seven cyber threats in the future including A.I. and ransomware.
