MELAKA: No particularly worrying cybersecurity incidents have been confirmed so far, based on daily reports from the National Cyber Security Agency (Nacsa), said Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil.
He said Nacsa’s readiness level is currently at amber alert, or moderate, following claims of cyberattacks circulating on social media recently.
Fahmi said Nacsa had looked into the claims of cyber intrusions but had yet to verify their authenticity.
“I receive daily reports from Nacsa and so far, the agency has not reported any particularly worrying incidents. However, Nacsa’s readiness level is at what is known as amber alert, which indicates a moderate level of preparedness.
“So far, there have been claims of cyberattacks and intrusions, but Nacsa has informed me that there is no confirmation of the incidents being circulated on social media. Should anything happen, Nacsa would certainly be the official source of information. So far, there has been no such confirmation,” he said.
Fahmi, who is also Pakatan Harapan communications director, said this during a walkabout with PH’s Ayer Molek state seat candidate for the Melaka election, Muhammad Hakimin Mokhtar, at the Ayer Molek night market here today.
Also present was PKR Advisory Council chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. umlegacypress.com
