KUALA LUMPUR – Less than a year since the MyIdentity data leak, several local technology news sites are reporting that a group of hackers have now claimed to have personal details of 22.5 million Malaysians stolen from the National Registration Department (NRD).
A website known as Amanz reported that the details leaked are MyKad numbers, names, dates of birth, home addresses, gender, and registered phone numbers belonging to those born between 1940 and 2004.
The hackers are said to be looking to sell the data for US$10,000 (RM43,870) in bitcoin, while it is yet to be ascertained if NRD is aware of the leak. – The Vibes, May 18, 2022
