Bursa Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Bhd has confirmed that the failed logins, unauthorised access, and trades were limited to a small number of client trading accounts from a few brokers, and were not as "widespread" as reported by some news outlets.

“As at the close of market, there have been no reports on unauthorised access and trades that occurred today,” the exchange said in a statement.

Bursa Malaysia also confirms that the robustness and security of its trading and clearing systems are not compromised.

“The Exchange’s priority is to keep the market accessible and orderly for all market participants, as continued operation of the market is vital to sustain investor confidence over the longer term,” it said.

Bursa Malaysia and the Securities Commission continue to work closely with relevant parties to ensure that investor protection and a fair, orderly market are upheld.
