Previously, we shared that 17 million MyKad details were allegedly sold on the Dark Web. Now, the authorities have debunked the claim, stressing that no data leaks have transpired.

The issuance of MyKid for newborns in Malaysia is expected to be delayed for up to 6 months due to the global microchip shortage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. National Registration Department (JPN) confirmed the matter recently, saying that for the time being, parents can use their children’s birth certificates for daily affairs.

Shockingly, it's reported that the personal data of millions of Malaysians by birth year from 1998 to 1979 have been leaked. According to an IT expert from Twitter, the data is currently on sale on a forum that can only be accessed using a virtual private network (VPN).
