PERSATUAN Patriot Kebangsaan refers to the news report in The Star yesterday headlined “Your personal data on sale – cheap” (online at bit.ly/star_data) and wishes to register our concern with the government over cybersecurity breaches as they have far reaching implications and raise serious concerns about national security.

This is not the first time in recent memory that we have read about such security breaches. And each time we get the same reaction statements from officialdom. This cannot continue. We need a permanent, effective and dependable resolution to this problem from all those charged with the responsibility of safeguarding citizens and the nation.
