Tap the best talents to protect our personal data

I REFER to the report “Probe on massive mobile leak” (The Star, Oct 31). Nowadays, we often hear of data breaches and it is apparently a serious national problem. Unfortunately, Budget 2018 does not highlight the significance of the IT industry and the important role of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

It was reported that the security of personal data of over 46 million mobile subscribers in our country is at risk after what is believed to be one of the largest data breaches in Malaysia.
