She said this notification must be submitted by data users who are experiencing personal data leakage incidents, including hacking threats. "This initiative allows incident information to be analysed so that mitigation measures can be taken immediately to prevent further leakage and control the ongoing impact. "The government is dedicated to maintaining public confidence in the country's data management practices," she told Bernama on the sideline of her two-day working visit here, Thursday. Teo said law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and other organisations in Malaysia are working to raise public awareness of the notification system, implement stricter regulations, and improve enforcement to protect individuals from scams.
