Rafizi: PADU Is Secure!

Mar 26, 2024

Your info on the PADU Database is safe from cybercriminals. 

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli says hackers have made multiple attempts to break into the government database, but they all failed.  

During the first month, there were 2 million hacking attempts every day, but they were all repelled, and so far it's still impenetrable. 

He adds that the data is also encrypted, meaning that even if a hacker manages to break in, they won't be able to do anything with it.  

As of yesterday, 8 million Malaysians have signed up under PADU.
