The end of 2022 is just one day away and here we are, another news of Malaysians personal data getting sold online by cybercriminals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, around 13 million user data that are said to have come from Astro, Maybank, and Election Commission (SPR) have been offered openly on a forum that is often used as a place to buy and sell hacked databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Communications and Digital Minister (KKD), Fahmi Fadzil tweeted<\/a> and said that this is a serious allegation and he asked CyberSecurity Malaysia and Personal Data Protection Department (PDPD) to investigate and take actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Fahmi’s personal phone number was leaked and someone tried to scam him via WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the person who tweeted this data breach incident didn’t cover up the names and personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SPR data being sold online is not really new because it has been happening for quite some time and we reported about this incident<\/a> last month. Even SPR acknowledged this<\/a> and they said they have reported it to the authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the hacker that is selling the data from Astro, Maybank, and SPR is not the same hacker that is selling SPR data that we reported previously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The data of almost 13 million Malaysians is said to be part of this leak.\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":8779,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[942,44,1134,111,2903,2990,1557,2953,1846],"doge-sponsors":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAnother Personal Data Leak Is Being Sold Online, This Time Allegedly From Astro, Maybank & SPR -
