CYBER Security Malaysia (CSM) has been ordered to investigate reports of personal data leakage of MySejahtera app users, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said. 

He said further action would be taken by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) after receiving the complete report from CSM.  

“On the issue of MySejahtera (data leakage),...I have directed CSM to investigate thoroughly and detect who had really accessed the account of Super Admin for MySejahtera application. 

“It is believed a large amount of personal data had been downloaded,” he said when winding up the debate on the motion of thanks for the royal address in Dewan Rakyat today. 

The Auditor-General’s Report 2021 Series 2 revealed there were 1.12 million attempts to hack the MySejahtera app. Information on around three million users was reportedly accessed in a suspicious manner from the Super Admin account. – Bernama, February 23, 2023.
