The national cyber incident response team, known as JOCERT, managed 3 per cent of the total incidents and released 75 technical reports analysing their nature and impact. Also, JOCERT handled 3 per cent of the incidents and issued 75 technical reports on them, the report said.

The report said that no incidents reached the 'critical' level in 2024, in contrast to the 1 per cent classified as critical in 2023.

Public Prosecution summons suspects in Muslim Brotherhood asset case
AMMAN — The Public Prosecution has begun summoning individuals accused of concealing assets belonging to the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, a judicial source told the Jordan News Agency, Petra. The move comes after the expiration of a one-month grace period granted by the Committee for the Dissolution of the Group, which operates under the Ministry of Social Development. The committee had called on individuals holding assets on behalf of the group to come forward and regularise their status by June 14. After the deadline passed, the case was formally referred to the judiciary, Petra said. According to the source, several individuals submitted written declarations stating they did not personally own property connected to the group but acknowledged safeguarding assets on its behalf. These cases were resolved, and the assets were transferred to the Associations Support Fund in accordance with article 25 of the Associations Law. The source said some individuals admitted to co-owning land and real estate they held on behalf of the banned Muslim Brotherhood. Others denied any link to the group, maintaining claims of ownership despite being presented with evidence. In one instance, the source said that authorised signatories of a joint bank account in a governorate confessed the funds belonged to the banned organization. Those funds were also transferred to the Associations Support Fund following legal procedures. The source warned that any individual found to be concealing assets of the group may face legal action on charges including money laundering and breach of trust. Those who deny ownership after being confronted with evidence, such as expert reports and financial analysis, will be subject to prosecution, the source said.
