MELAKA: The Election Commission (EC) is waiting for a full report on an alleged cyber attack targeting its official website during the Melaka election.
EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun said it has yet to receive the full report.
“We will issue an official statement on the matter soon,” he told reporters after observing early voting at SK Kem Terendak in Sungai Udang yesterday.
Ramlan hopes the website will remain secure, given its importance to the conduct of the election.
He added that the EC is working with the relevant authorities to protect its systems from unauthorised access.
Asked whether the EC would lodge a report with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, Ramlan said work with the relevant authorities is already under way.
“We are already working together and taking steps to protect our systems from intrusion,” he said.
