As cases of leaked personal data continue to spark outrage among Malaysians, the government is finally drawing a harder line against those profiting from citizens' stolen information online. The Digital Ministry, led by Gobind Singh Deo, is stepping up efforts to stop the sale and exchange of personal data across the dark web and shady online platforms.
Over the weekend, chatter in a hacker forum sparked concern across Malaysia's cybersecurity landscape.
