Data of 22.5 million Malaysians born 1940-2004 allegedly being sold for US$10k.
ETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - An alleged data leak containing the information of 22.5 million Malaysians born between 1940 and 2004, purportedly stolen from the National Registration Department (NRD), has once again put the country's data security measures in the spotlight.
Local tech portal Amanz reported that the database, 160GB in size, is being sold for US$10,000 (S$13,846) on the dark web.
In the screenshot shared by the portal, the seller claimed that this is an expanded database compared to the one he sold in September last year, which was only up to 1998.
