Ministry suspends Petrol Subsidy Programme microsite which exposed users’ bank account details (updated)

The Petrol Subsidy Programme microsite, which went live on Oct 15, is for users to find out if they are eligible for petrol subsidy, as announced in Budget 2020.

Update: The Ministry says the security flaw has been fixed and the Petrol Subsidy Programme microsite is now back online.

The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) has suspended the newly-launched Petrol Subsidy Programme microsite after a tech portal reported that it exposed users’ bank account details.
