Over 600,000 “rows of private data” from the Penang government’s official website have allegedly been stolen and uploaded onto the internet.
The data was uploaded to a forum known as BreachForums by a user with the handle “LeakBase” on Jan 18, who said it was available for download.
The claim was first shared on Twitter by @FalconFeedsio, who said LeakBase claimed the data included usernames, passwords, full names, email addresses and security-related keys such as one-time passwords (OTPs). The Penang state government’s website (www.penang.gov.my) is a one-stop portal which offers over 30 different e-services for the civil service, state assemblymen and the state executive council.
