MELAKA: Malaysia’s National Cyber Security Agency (Nacsa) is maintaining an amber alert readiness level amid claims of cyberattacks and security breaches, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
The Communications Minister said he had been receiving daily reports from Nacsa, with no incidents of serious concern reported so far.
“I receive daily reports from Nacsa, and so far, there have been no incidents reported to me that are particularly worrying.
“However, Nacsa’s readiness level is currently at amber alert, which means a moderate level of preparedness,” he told reporters after a walkabout in Ayer Molek on Thursday (Nov 12).
Fahmi said authorities were aware of allegations involving cyberattacks and unauthorised intrusions circulating on social media.
“There have been claims of attacks and breaches, but Nacsa has informed us that there is no confirmation so far regarding the incidents being circulated on social media.
“If anything happens, the official source of information will be Nacsa. So far, nothing has been confirmed,” he said.
