An unidentified organization has claimed that it has managed to identify vulnerabilities within the ePenyata Gaji which is the salary

data system for Malaysian civil servants. In addition to that, the organization has also claimed that it has managed to breach the system and obtain a significant amount of data from the system with the help of security vulnerabilities., among items that it claimed to have obtained from ePenyata Gaji is a database in JSON and CSV format which has more than a million rows of identities.

Furthermore, the group also claimed that it has extracted almost two million pay slips and tax forms in PDF format with a total file size of 188.75GB. SinChew noted that it has sighted several screenshots that the group has attached in its statement that include pay slips of several notable politicians such as Finance Minister Tunku Zafrul, former Deputy Finance Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, and former Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof.

In the statement, the group also claimed that it has reached out to the Malaysian government via e-mail on 7 September. The e-mail was apparently sent to several high-ranking officials such as Chief Secretary Mohd Zuki Ali and Chief Security Officer Rahimi Ismail as well as the Auditor General’s office.

The group noted that the government was given until 12 September to respond but nothing happened. Hence, the group now plans to sell all the items that it has extracted from ePenyata Gaji on several well-known database marketplaces starting from 19 September onwards.

Freedom House: Pro-China news creep to continue in Malaysia if Umno remains in powerKUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 — The Malaysian government, journalists and civil societies should watch for a shift to Beijing-friendly coverage from Umno-aligned news outlets if the... The Star and all the local Chinese paper is LOL. The Americans have no idea. 1/2 Freedom House is US govt funded organisation. With the US govt currently bent on provoking & possibly starting a world war, this take on Malaysia is obviously given for its own interests. Malaysia & Malaysians do not need that and should not trust it. Recent Ringgit being weakened was the works of Yankees to try to pressurise Malaysia to choose their sides to pursue their political agenda for war and Malaysia must stay neutral as China's a good trading partner to our economy of multi sectors as Yankees only interested others.
