Malaysian government websites will be resilient enough to face any kind of cyber attack claims CyberSecurity Malaysia.

“We are determining their readiness to face attacks and are making recommendations on what they can do to prepare,” said CyberSecurity Malaysia chief executive officer Lt-Col (Ret) Datuk Husin Jazri.

He said the sites would be resilient to any kind of cyber attacks, “even if the attack is announced in advance or a surprise attack”.

CyberSecurity Malaysia, responsible for the nation's borders in cyberspace, is currently conducting a technical evaluation of all computer networks in critical national information infrastructures. A hacker group known as Anonymous had threatened the government websites and on June 16, the sites were hit by a distributed denial-of-service attack, causing them to crash. Some 200 websites, both government and others, were affected.
