PORT DICKSON: All government ministries and agencies are asked to update their website defence system in order to face any potential cyber threats.
Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Jailani Johari said this was due to the spread of threats by a group of hackers calling themselves Anonymous Malaysia which was said to have threatened large scale cyber attacks on Malaysia.
“This is a perception ploy by certain irresponsible parties that attempted to create an atmosphere of anxiety to the community.
“In fact in every agency we have urged them to have a defence mechanism in case there are cyber threat issues, so that this matter can be averted,” he told the media after officiating the Hulu Terengganu Umno division leadership course here yesterday. — Bernama
