Malaysia at Risk of Becoming a Cyberattack Target, Says Anwar
Published
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim warned that Malaysia is among the countries that could potentially become targets of cyberattacks. The warning was issued because the country's digital infrastructure is growing and more and more citizens are using online services.
According to him, Malaysia's position in international issues could also be a factor that attracts the attention of parties wishing to carry out cyberattacks. A cyberattack is an attempt to infiltrate computer systems, networks or data, and it can cause disruption to public and private services.
Therefore, the government and relevant agencies must continue to strengthen cybersecurity systems. Internet users are also encouraged to be more cautious, such as not disclosing personal information carelessly and using strong passwords.
In conclusion, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important for Malaysia in today's digital era. All parties, including the public, are reminded to play their respective roles in protecting the country's digital space.
