Lowyat published article 'after MCMC did not respond to data breach alert'

ONLINE forum Lowyat.net yesterday published an article on a massive data breach after the country’s internet regulator did not respond upon being alerted to the matter, said founder Vijandren Ramadass.

He said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) was alerted after posts by a “seller”, aggressively promoting the sale of the data, were first noticed on Wednesday evening.
