Why is she guilty?

For your information, a former commercial support officer in Astro's business division was charged with altering the accounts of 743 of the company's customers to give them free access to the service.

Additionally, Nora Idayu Jaafar (48) was charged with altering the broadcasting company's customer data system without permission under Section 5(1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997.

If found guilty, the accused could be fined a maximum of RM100,000, imprisoned for up to seven years, or both. Astro's customer database was altered by her between 2013 and 2020.
