Despite first being found online back in April, a listing for a database containing the identification cards and photos of almost a million Malaysians remain online.
This data contains pictures of Malaysian identification cards, names, email addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, addresses and even selfies of these Malaysians holding up their IC cards. There’s a total of 802,259 Malaysians involved, with 67GB of data in total. The seller is asking for USD2,000 for this database, to be paid via cryptocurrency.
. This required users to include their personal details along with a picture of their identification card and a photo of them holding it up to the camera for electronic Know Your Customer purposes. It’s no longer being used for voter registration, but the MySPR system still exists for some reasons such as for changing their voting address, or to register for postal voting.
Now despite being first listed online in April, the listing is still live, with the seller keeping the thread alive as recently as this week. It’s certainly quite worrying to see this, especially considering that when the data breach was first made known so long ago.
