PETALING JAYA: The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has denied that personal data was exposed on its portal, MyTax.

"HASiL (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia) would like to emphasise that the confidentiality of taxpayer data in the MyTax platform is safe and secure because it is backed by certified tech security data," the organisation said in a statement.
