News & Reviews:   Personal data

Just recently, there was a huge personal data leak from a website that was trying to sell information from JPN and MySejatera. Although the website is no longer active, it was a worrying issue that the website allowed any Malaysian to be searched from their IC number to even if they are working in the police/military.

The Malaysia Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCERT) has warned Malaysians of cybercriminals that are using malicious Android apps to target internet users in our country. Through a campaign called ‘SMSSpy’, these cybercriminals are utilising mischievous tactics to steal and obtain users’ private banking information.
