Egypt prosecutes mobile firms over unregistered lines
The Communications Regulatory Authority in Egypt announced that it has referred the four mobile phone companies to the public prosecution due to the existence of mobile lines registered under users' names without their knowledge or ownership. This came after receiving complaints regarding these incidents, with the aim of protecting users' rights and personal data. As part of the measures, the sale of new lines has been halted, and alert messages have been sent to existing users to update their data and sign new contracts in the name of the actual owner. Additionally, measures to accelerate the deployment of biometric verification mechanisms have been implemented to ensure the identities of users more securely.
