KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — In response to the government’s call to battle against data breeches in Malaysia, TNG Digital and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation are collaborating to bring a new data protection for Touch ‘n Go eWallet users called MyCyberShield.
According to Alan Ni, Chief Executive Officer of TNG Digital, the data of 22.5 million Malaysians including full name, ID and even home addresses, is being sold on the dark web. “The campaign places a focal point on critical aspects such as Data Protection and Data Breach awareness, understanding Cyberthreats and Scams, and cultivating sound Cyber Hygiene practices,” he added on later.
“The upcoming second phase will see more cybersecurity defences introduced, including exploring the potential of product bundling with TNG Digital Financial Services such as Wallet Safe and other relevant insurance products,” said Laaksonen later on.
