CLAIMS of a leak in voters’ data, which have gone viral, are untrue, because the Election Commission (EC) only releases information such as the names and identity card numbers of voters, caretaker Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin said.

“This is not true. It must be the work of a party trying to deceive in order to profit, and as of now, the Home Ministry has yet to receive a police report.

“If there is a report then we will investigate,” he told reporters at the Perikatan Nasional Tour programme in Arau today.

Several portals today reported that there had been a leak from the EC database and that the information of 800,000 voters was being sold online.

It was reported that a seller possessed various types of information from the MySPR database including selfies, MyKad details, and other details such as addresses, e-mail addresses, birth dates, hashed passwords, and full addresses. – Bernama, November 12, 2022.
