PETALING JAYA: The National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) and National Security Council (MKN) are aware of a cybersecurity incident involving systems belonging to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
In a statement issued to LifestyleTech, a Nacsa spokesperson says that based on an earlier statement from DBKL, several of its online services are currently facing technical disruptions.
Following checks conducted by Nacsa’s National Cyber Coordination and Command Centre (NC4), the incident is believed to be the result of a malware infection, though no ransom demands have reportedly been made so far.
The spokesperson adds that the incident did not affect the DBKL Core System (DCoS) and Sistem Penilaian dan Pengurusan Harta (SPPH).
Nacsa and MKN are working closely with DBKL to coordinate recovery efforts and mitigation measures. Further monitoring activities will be conducted to ensure the affected systems are operating securely.
DBKL yesterday (May 18) issued a statement via its Facebook page, saying that access to its services has been gradually restored since May 1 and is expected to be fully recovered by May 23.
It also says that the DBKL e-licensing system, e-Perumahan, Adu@KL, Tempah@KL, and the Epayment Integrated Centre (EPIC) will be fully restored and accessible from tomorrow (May 20).
