EPF system back online, no data breach reported

KUALA LUMPUR – The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has restored its system to full service after experiencing a temporary outage on all its channels, including the EPF’s i-Akaun application.

In a statement, the retirement savings fund said the payment of the current contribution month by employers (wages month November) is extended until December 30, 2022.

“No late payment charges will be imposed for the November wage contributions remitted during the extended period,” it said.

EPF also assured that none of its members’ data, savings, or any other information were compromised or breached during the downtime.

It apologised for the inconvenience caused. – Bernama, December 16, 2022
