No need to panic about increase in cyber attacks

KULAI, April 1 (Bernama) -- The public does not need to panic about the daily increase in cyber attacks as the government has several agencies, particularly the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), which constantly monitors these matters.

Deputy Minister of Communications Teo Nie Ching said cyber attacks, which were done through various platforms, are not new, especially as digital telecommunication networks become more advanced.

“So far, the public does not need to worry. Yes, indeed, these matters (cyber attacks) occurred following international situations, especially involving sensitive and hot issues. Because of this, the government has formulated the Cyber Security Bill.

“This bill aims to defend the country's critical infrastructure, including data centres, hospitals, banking and communication systems. All of these are very important security assets for the country,” Teo, who is also Kulai MP told reporters after hosting an iftar event in her constituency here on Sunday.

Teo also urged the public to remain calm and to continue to trust and have confidence in national security agencies, including the Ministry of Defence and the National Security Council, regarding these cyber threats.

“They are among the agencies that can protect sensitive data and information involving national security,” said Teo, who is also the Member of Parliament for Kulai.

Last Saturday, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin reportedly said that the country's defence system is subjected to about 3,000 cyber attacks every day, especially after Malaysia declared its support for Palestine.

The Dewan Rakyat last Tuesday passed the Cyber Security Bill 2024 aimed at enhancing the country's cyber security through compliance with specific measures, standards, and processes in managing cyber security threats.

Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo was reported to have said that according to the bill, there are 11 sectors defined as Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) sectors, including government, banking and finance, transportation, defence and national security, as well as information, communication, and digital sectors.

lek lu

all info dah leaked

what is the different between leaked 2 time vs 24 times

on same info??

Monitoring and taking actions are two different things.

Fucking clowns

No need panic until shit happens

Shit is happening already , just look around and you will see it

Rafizi : PADU can tahan 2mil attack ..no issue ..owai

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-18/data...ctive/102175688

Because it is never the same information across the different leaks

like my ID , name has 24 version across different Government DB?

Knowing Malaysia, probably yes, given how their data quality is.

Just look at the AirAsia and Malindo data leak's

Everything can download from internet no need susah sudah hack

cukurlah, then leak more.. confuse the scammer with the 24 versions of my only phone number.

April fools

This.

bro. you joking or serious?


if a Person ID can be various even in Govt DB/Finance System
so, i can bankrupt 24 times? because i have different ID in system???

Where is your common sense??? and logic?



Try do something wrong with your ID, like default loan, unpaid Maxis/Telco, Water/TNB bill, or even involved in Crime.
Lets see how you can escape 24 times ( like what you said, they all record "differently" even on SAME PERSON )

Tell me you don't know about data quality without telling me you don't know about data quality.

Your question was "like my ID , name has 24 version across different Government DB?"

If you know how systems are developed by people who have a different concepts to "First name" and "last name" than Malaysia, yes, the same people can appear multiple times with different primary keys.

The NRIC number does help a bit, but as the Malindo data leak shows, IC number 00112233-44-5566 can be associated with 2 records:
First name = Tan; Last name = Ah Beng
First name = Ah Beng; Last name = Tan

The AirAsia leak doesn't have NRIC number, but someone like Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak can be:
Mhd Najib bin Abdul Razak, Staff ID 1111
Najib bin Abdul Razak, Staff ID 2222
Najib bin Razak, Staff ID 3333
Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak, Staff ID 4444
Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, Staff ID 5555


Why do you think even the attackers to AirAsia decided to flip table?


And banks? Once upon a time Tawi Sli had a FD opened in 1980 under his old IC number of K123456. 40 years later he opens a new account to receive BR1M/BSH/BPR/SARA using the new IC number of 120612-13-0000.



Yes they're supposed to search for existing records based on name and Date of Birth, but if you know how front facing staff are like in Malaysia, easier to just create a new database entry.

lol.. i more concern org dalam jual data..
rm10 email
rm10 alamat
rm10 phone
*per person.

PADU ada 17m users.... hahahaha...

So why hasn't a orang dalam immigration sold off the passport data of Malaysian passports issues?

Why hasn't orang dalam sell off birth certificate information of people born in Malaysia?

try harder.

IC Number
Phone Number
First Name, Last Name
Address

Once leaked = Leaked.

Try spin.
IC Number record of Malaysian are different from bank to bank, govt agency to agency
My contact number record in bank also they cant record correctly
My address? also. all record wrong.

YOu think this is possible??? They all have our IC Number, Phone number, address record incorrectly ( because you believe they all record DIFFERENT )

I dont have time to debate for childish reason.

You already made statement based on nonsense, why try so hard to defend it???
