KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The issue over the alleged data leak involving personal information of the public does not involve any security breach on the part of the Malaysian Armed Forces, says Chief of Defence Force Tan Sri Affendi Buang.
He said MAF always emphasised the confidentiality of all data, whether it was in a closed or open network.
"The MAF takes the reported issue of data leakage seriously, as it can invite public concern on the integrity of the monitoring system and the security of MAF’s data," he said in a statement on Wednesday (Sept 29).
Meanwhile, the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) denied allegations that there was a data leak involving local business entities as reported by a local portal on Wednesday.
