THE Communications and Multimedia Ministry will introduce a special application to curb activities related to hacking.

Minister Annuar Musa said a meeting with the application owner would be held outside the country soon.

“I am also asking Cyber Security Malaysia to conduct specific studies on this application because there are still several matters that need to be scrutinised before it is launched for the people in this country,” he told reporters after conducting a walkabout in Kok Lanas today.

He said the anti-hacking application could be used by all gadgets registered in the country, but the question of payment had yet to be decided.

“If there is a charge, we will ensure that the price is reasonable and suitable for all parties.

“This application can help to check hacking activities, which are getting prevalent now,” he added. – Bernama, August 12, 2022.
