KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 — Last week, Malaysian payment gateway platform iPay88 reported that, which is quite worrying considering that they’re one of the biggest point-of-sale solutions provider in the region. However, their statement was scarce of details over how many users were actually affected, and also came months after the incident occurred.

Here’s the full statement from an iPay88 representative to one of their clients, a POS system provider: Card transactions through the Android terminal, as well as transactions through e-wallet and QR payment, online banking, BNPL, vending machines, Point Of Sale and batch card payment, were not affected. Please be assured that payments are processed through iPay88 safely.

This came to light after the POS system provider got in touch with us to claim that their POS terminals were not involved in the iPay88 cybersecurity incident. Instead, they say that only online payment methods under “card” were affected; this was not mentioned in the original iPay88 media statement. We then asked them to provide us more details about this claim, which they did by forwarding us an email from an iPay88 representative which included the aforementioned statement.
