It looks like another Malaysian agency may have suffered a security breach, and this time it’s the Social Security Organisation (Socso / PERKESO). A hacker claiming to represent one Rupert_group has posted on the online hacker hangout BreachForums. As part of the claim, the hacker group says that the lax security has resulted “in the compromise of your personal information”.
The post first appeared in the forums on 5 December, with the claim of more samples, likely referring to more personal data, will be released “within the next 72 hours”. Part of the disclosed leaked personal information include names with physical and email addresses, as well as phone numbers, tied to them. Other details are also sprinkled in, including payment methods, and even the retired military status of some.
Two days after the initial post, the hacker also shared a YouTube link seemingly of a meeting involving Socso management discussing the breach. Which reinforces the veracity of the claim that the agency has indeed been compromised. The Star reports that a Socso representative says that “we are aware and will be releasing a full statement”.
This is a developing story.
