If you typically use contactless payment methods, chances are that you’ve used iPay88 even without realising it. iPay88 is one of Malaysia’s biggest payment gateway platforms, providing point-of-sale solutions for plenty of merchants throughout Malaysia and the region.

As such, it’s understandably quite worrying to know then that iPay88 has suffered a cybersecurity breach, and that customer card data may have been compromised. They then state that, once they had found out about the issue on 31 May, they began investigating it and got cybersecurity experts to deal with the matter. iPay88 also stated that there’s been no further suspicious activity since 20 July, and that there’s new measures in place to prevent further incidents. On top of that, they’re already working together with the authorities over the issue too.
