The Sun reports that Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has denied a claim that its online service system was hacked and held hostage to a ransom demand of USD $55 million (RM236.17 million):
Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Dr Maimunah Mohd Sharif said DBKL’s online service system had indeed experienced technical disruptions but there was no ransom demanded.
“There was indeed a system disruption, but it had nothing to do with money (ransom demand) from anyone.
“A total of 39 systems were problematic but have returned to normal since May 1, including the e-housing, e-licence, e-complaint and e-booking systems,“ she said when contacted today.
