The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) has revealed that a special anti-hacking application is set to be introduced in Malaysia soon. This is amidst a slew of cybersecurity issues affecting our nation recently, most notably the data breach faced by iPay88.

It seems that around 1.3 million user’s public data might have been spotted on a hacker forum very recently. While there were speculations going around stating that Clubhouse had a data breach, Clubhouse themselves debunked the rumour stating that they were not hacked and data from these users were already public information which is visible as long as you view the user’s profile via the app.

Cybersecurity is so important these days, but some platforms just can't do it well. It's worse when financial sites are the ones with poor security, as the consequences can be dire. This was proven when it was found that E-Pay Malaysia got hacked.

Based on a statement by thehackernews.com, it seems that cybercriminals are utilizing a ‘coronavirus map’ to steal sensitive information such as passwords from any unsuspecting victims. The method in which they acquire such information is by tricking the users to download a software which is embedded with a malware called AZORult, which collects information from web browsers such as cookies, user ID, passwords and more.

The hackers are at it again. A weakness in the Bluetooth wireless standard have allowed hackers to be able to steal data from your devices wirelessly. Hackers can easily track keystrokes, contact lists as well as other sensitive data from devices through this method.
