- Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Cyber Security Research Centre (CYRES) director Prof Dr Selvakumar Manickam said the audits should examine the types of data collected, how it is stored and transmitted, the use of third-party services, access controls and data retention periods.
- He said assessments should also cover infrastructure security, penetration testing, reviews of relevant code and system components, and the risks of data breaches and misuse of location information.
- “Even if TuJu can ensure that no surveillance is conducted, weak security and privacy measures could still leave the system vulnerable to attacks by hackers and criminals worldwide, potentially exposing Malaysians’ data to cybercrime networks,” he told Bernama when contacted today.
