PETALING JAYA – There has been an increase in the number of attacks by hackers on Malayisan websites, according to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
The MCMC said in a statement that the number of defaced websites had increased from 168 cases for the whole of August to 262 cases recorded in the first week of September alone.
"Malaysian website owners are urged to update and secure their website applications and servers to the latest patches and service packs.
"This is to fix various vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers to compromise their websites," it said on Wednesday.
MCMC also advised website owners to allocate adequate measures to monitor their websites for the upcoming long holidays when most people would be away for the Hari Raya celebrations, possibly leaving most websites unmonitored for a long period of time.
It said last year, similar heightened web defacement activities were also detected during the long Hari Raya holidays.
MCMC said it would continue to monitor the situation through its Network Security Centre, which is a cyber security monitoring centre initiated by the commission in line with the National Cyber Security Policy. - Malaysian Mirror
