My: No security breach, data leakage on MAF’s end or SSM’s end

Posted on September 30, 2021 by Dissent

The Star reports:

 The issue over the alleged data leak involving personal information of the public does not involve any security breach on the part of the Malaysian Armed Forces, says Chief of Defence Force Tan Sri Affendi Buang.

He said MAF always emphasised the confidentiality of all data, whether it was in a closed or open network.

“The MAF takes the reported issue of data leakage seriously, as it can invite public concern on the integrity of the monitoring system and the security of MAF’s data,” he said in a statement on Wednesday (Sept 29).

Meanwhile, the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) denied allegations that there was a data leak involving local business entities as reported by a local portal on Wednesday.

The SSM data were offered for sale on a popular forum for buying, selling and trading databases.

SSM listing

In responding to questions in the forum thread, the seller stated, “The last data dumped is on July 2021, due to Covid I believe not much data was updated and a new company was registered.”

While SSM denied any leak and stated they had checked their system, they do not seem to have offered any explanation for all of the sample data the seller posted, which DataBreaches.net is not reproducing here.  Nor do they state whether the structure and format of the data in the samples is consistent with the structure and format of SSM’s databases. The listing seems to indicate that the source of the data was www.ssm-einfo.my
