KUALA LUMPUR: Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has strengthened its multi-layered digital security infrastructure to protect its exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026 broadcast rights and safeguard the country's creative industry investments.

The Broadcasting Department, in a statement on Tuesday (June 16), said the measure was taken following reports regarding attempts to access the broadcasts on RTMKlik from overseas using virtual private networks (VPN).

"Continuous monitoring and technical upgrades are also being implemented to ensure platform stability and an optimum viewing experience," it said.

According to the statement, RTM, as the broadcast rights holder for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Malaysia, is committed to ensuring local viewers can enjoy the service seamlessly while adhering to the stipulated licensing terms and broadcasting rights.

RTM also expressed appreciation for the public's vigilance and cooperation in providing feedback to help elevate the quality of the nation's broadcasting services. – Bernama
