Technology and ancient world practices such as black magic can work together. A Malaysian official warned people from posting their selfies on social media sites where shamans are now looking for their next victims.
Jazannul Azriq Aripin is no ordinary government employee who spends the day reading Facebook feeds. He is the communications officer of CyberSecurity Malaysia, a government agency.

They likely also have tablets, smartphones and laptops where they access Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts to hunt for potential victims. For the full article click here
