News & Reviews:   identity theft

Former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has revealed that he will be lodging a police report for identity theft after an initial failed attempt to register for the Central Database Hub (PADU). Taking to Instagram, Khairy said that someone had misused his IC number to register for the database.

Recently, there was a big data leak apparently from all the major telcos, Jobstreet (who have since admitted it, advising caution) and other Malaysian databases. The data was taken from 2014 and contains things like your phone number, IC, address and so forth but KeithRozario have set up a serverless site called SayaKenaHack.com for you to check whether or not your number is listed based on your IC number.
