@Check_Engine_Light actually… according to the graphic, Ghana has not signed nor ratified the Convention on Cybercrimes and is also not shown to have punishments. I think the only reason Ghana was included later in the chart was because they account for 0.7% of cybercriminals. That country on the Africa map which is yellow is South Africa.

Malaysia at least has not introduce caning into the scope of punishment. But that fine is high.

Australia and Malaysia apparently show no mercy to those who do not forget or forgive.
